SPEED : Walking in the rain

A 14th single was subsequently released by SPEED after the "Save the Children" campaign. This was to be titled as "Walking in the rain".





This showcased a much mellower SPEED as compared to their debut days. In addition, they put on more make-up and more lady-like clothes to look more sophisticated.

Finally a music video where you can see Takako and Hitoe singing alongside Hiroko and Eriko, the 2 main lead singers of SPEED. This song is titled "Long Way Home", a final single shortly before the disbandment of the group on 31 March 2000.

SPEED : Steady

"Steady" is the first single to hit the first million sales for SPEED. This is a ballad single which was released after "Body & Soul".





It's quite a normal song which doesn't quite hit the spot the way "White Love" does. To me, "White Love" is the most definitive SPEED song. Of course, there are others who might or might not agree with me but that's just my opinion.

SPEED : White Love

While browsing through Youtube, I had came across a really old favourite song that I used to listen to while I was still studying in secondary school.

The song is titled "White Love" and it's sung by Japan's all time popular female group SPEED.





This was one of my favourite SPEED songs ever. Oh my gosh, just listening to this song brings back many memories of my younger days in school. That was like in the late 90s back then. Oh, I missed SPEED and boy, I was so sad when they disbanded. But there are news on the net that they have reformed back together this year. I hope I can hear them again soon.
