Because I stumbled upon these while searching for videos for Cyd. Who turns 12 on Saturday. The rest of y’all can watch ‘em but I warn you they’re in Japanese. But you get an idea of Tracy’s taste as a tweener! Top two videos are totally 70’s (check out the hair and the platform shoes), bottom video is from the 90’s (when swing was king).

Hideki Saijo used to be her fav Japanese singer back in the day. So when I did my Tokyo music junkets I signed him for a show in Honolulu. Lost a boatload of money, but hey…Tracy got to see him live again after all those years =) One of these days she might share her teenybopper escapades to get close to this guy during his first Hawaii show. Heh. Such a fan, she was. Ah, to be young again…

Enjoy, ’ster!
