Top Ten Pony Canyon Music Artists
PONY CANYON (ポニーキャニオン) is a Japanese record label founded in 1966 that publishes videos, movies, music, and video games. The company is owned by Fuji Media Holdings, Inc.This is a list of the best music artists who have worked with Pony Canyon, both current and former. Music artists who have released compilations and albums, as well as those whose albums have been re-released under Pony Canyon, are also included.
Miki Matsubara (November 28, 1959 - October 7, 2004) was a Japanese singer, lyricist, and composer from Kishiwada, Osaka, Japan. She is best known for her 1979 hit song Mayonaka no Door ~ Stay With Me, which gained renewed popularity in recent years thanks to social media platforms like TikTok. She actually made music for a label called "See-Saw." Then in 2002, she had compilations under Pony Canyon.
I think Apple Music and YouTube have her listed under Pony Canyon Inc. I just included these singers because I searched "Pony Canyon best collection" and found these singers with compilations under Pony Canyon. I plan to check some of these singers out, and I might even make a list called Best City Pop Singers.
Amii Ozaki (尾崎 亜美, Ozaki Ami), real name Misuzu Ohara (小原 美鈴, Ohara Misuzu, born March 19, 1957), is a Japanese singer and songwriter from Kita-ku, Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture. She has written popular songs for singers like Anri and Seiko Matsuda. Her mother makes popular handbags and purses crafted from vintage obi. Her stage name "Ami" is French for "friend." She released her first song, 冥想, in 1976. She also has some albums re-released under Pony Canyon.
Naoko Ken (研 ナオコ, Ken Naoko, born July 7, 1953) is a Japanese singer and actress. She released her first song, 大都会のやさぐれ女, in 1971.
Junko Iwao (岩男 潤子, Iwao Junko, born February 18, 1970) is a Japanese voice actress and singer from Beppu, Ōita, Japan.
Eri Hiramatsu (平松 愛理, born March 8, 1964) is a Japanese singer, songwriter, and composer from Suma Ward, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. She is best known for her song Single is Best!?She had some songs released on that label from 1989 to 1992. She's a Japanese singer, but I think she might be using a different name now and goes by 酒井美子.
I don't know if she's alive or dead. All I heard is that she's a Japanese Enka singer and made music from 1989 to 1992.
She made music for Pony Canyon, but sadly, she's not active anymore. She stopped making music about 10 years ago.
