ビッグ・ラヴ Yoko Nagayama And I like this one waayyyy better than the original.
Love Comes Quickly ～霧の都の異邦人～ Hidemi Ishikawa Otherwise, There’re two covers I’ve been listening to a lot (apart from stuff I’ve already posted). Both good for lights-out, pre-sleep, listening.
I like this one a little better than the Pet Shop Boys one.
Miss Liberty John Sauli Was trying to disprove a potential hot take about how the only good italo-disco songs all have superior Japanese covers and stumbled on this one.
Only downside for me is the lyric (and kinda the guy’s voice), but there’s also an instrumental version as a B-side.
(Also There’s no superior cover to Kiss Her, so…

Cha-Cha-Cha Finzy Kontini I didn’t realise the Akemi Ishii version of this was a cover until I looked at the credits.
Definitely prefer the cover. Italodisco stuff never clicks with me the way a bunch of adjacent stuff does.
Content warning: Mime, ugly guitar.

Party Night Aya Matsumoto 風に叫ぶ～Energy Guyのテーマ～ m.c.A･T A few of them are actually better than the originals.
The Surfin' In The Wind Tube They also have a less good song called Surfin In The Snow.
I Feel Coke Daisuke Inoue I got to that Yamaguchi song because I’m watching a bunch of karaoke videos from this channel and got distracted. Some of them have this 32X-looking CG dancers, and I want to know where they come from, so have been scouring the comments for clues.
Also just clicking on random things on the channel. This is one of the standouts.
