Show-Ya

Show-Ya (しょーや Shōya) is an all-female heavy metal/hard rock band from Japan, founded in 1982. The group disbanded in 1998, but reformed with the original line-up in 2005 for the 20th anniversary of their first release. The music of Show-Ya is deeply rooted in classic rock and in their albums and live shows they have covered songs from The Beatles, The Doors, The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and AC/DC. Their music evolved from the pop rock of their first offerings to the heavy metal of their most successful albums, Outerlimits and Hard Way.

Biography

The first nucleus of Show-Ya was formed in 1982 by Keiko Terada and Miki Nakamura, who had been playing together for a year, in order to enter the East West Grand Prix musical contest organized and sponsored by Yamaha. The new band won the contest for best female group, which resulted in a record contract with Toshiba EMI. In the following two years, Miki Igarashi replaced the original guitarist Mitsuko Numata and the line-up was completed by Miki Tsunoda on drums and Satomi Senba on bass. Nakamura, Igarashi and Tsunoda adopted the stage names of “Captain”, “Sun-Go” and “Mittan” to avoid confusion with the first name Miki, which they have in common. In this period they wrote material for their debut album Masquerade Show, which was recorded in Japan and mixed at Abbey Road Studios in London. The album was promoted by The Coca-Cola Company, which used their debut single "Suteki Ni Dancing (Coke Is It)" for a TV and radio commercial and a campaign. While in London, the band had the opportunity to play in front of a foreign audience at Dingwalls and at the legendary rock club The Marquee. After the successful release of their first album, the band returned to Abbey Road Studios to mix their second album Queendom the following year.

Comforter

by: Shai

Talk to me baby, I'm listening
Lay down and tell me what's on your mind
What exactly did he do to make you cry this time
Well, I will be your comforter, I will make it right
He cast a shadow on your heart and I will bring back your light
Come in, I see he's hurt you again, when you are in pain, I'm in pain
That's part of being a friend but this is a special case
I held my feelings back because of him and now I can see it more than ever
I made a big big big, big mistake
I don't mean to disregard your feelings but I think that he's a fool
He don't know how sensitive you are and baby that just ain't cool
I'm just glad, I can be there for you when you need a helping hand
When deep inside my heart from the start I know I should've been your man
Lay down and tell me what's on your mind
What exactly did he do to make you cry this time
Well, I will be your comforter, I will make it right
He cast a shadow on your heart and I will bring back your light
I will comfort, comfort, comfort you
I will comfort, I will comfort you
I will comfort, comfort, comfort you
I will comfort, I will comfort you
I will comfort, comfort, comfort you
I will comfort, I will comfort you
I will comfort, comfort, comfort you
I will comfort, I will comfort you
Lay down and tell me what's on your mind
What exactly did he do to make you cry this time
Well, I will be your comforter, I will make it right
