I've some information on Anzenchitai for you. Firstly, I'll start by introducingthe five members of the group:


   Name:                     B'day:             Height:          Blood Group:
1. Koji Tamaki               13 Sep 1958        175 cm           A
2. Wataru Yahagi             27 Jun 1957        169 cm           A
3. Haruyoshi Rokudo          1 Oct 1955         166 cm           A
4. Koji Tanaka               29 May 1957        168 cm           O
5. Yutaka Takezawa           16 May 1958        167 cm           AB


As you probably knew, Koji Tamaki is the lead vocal of the group and he's 
often called the "soul" of Anzenchitai. Wataru Yahagi is the guitarist, but in 
October,1990 he made a debut solo album called " Bokensha " ( Adventurer). I'm
not quite sure about what instrument do other members play. The person who  
always write the lyrics of their songs is not a member of the group.


Anzenchitai was once the back band of a famous singer-song-writer, Akimi Inoue.
Back band means that whenever Akimi Inoue went performing on stage, his band 
would be Anzenchitai. In 1982, 25 February, Anzenchitai made their debut single
called " Moegiiro no snap " ( The photo that turned yellowish ). However, it wasnot until about 1984 they had hit songs such as " Wine Red no Kokoro " ( Wine
Red heart), "Mayonakasugiru Koi " ( The romance after midnight) etc.


The songs that made them become a very popular group both in Japan and Hong Kong
was " Koi no Yokan" (The pre-feeling of love). They are one of the New Music 
band group which is popular among youngters as well as adults. Koji Tamaki's
cool image and unique voice actually crazed millions of young girls.


Here's a discography list of the CDs currently available in Japan of them. As 
their records are usually reproduced by Polygram Records in Hong Kong, the code
numbers here refer only to the Japanese original CDs. I personally think that
it is much better to buy the original rather than the Hong Kong made ones, as
the printng and the quality will be much better. Most of the time the Hong Kong
version does not even include song books or other bonus.


Also in the below list, I included some of the songs in that album which were   translated into cantonese songs. I have no information of the BEST selection CD that you've bought, however. Is it released by Polygram in HK, or by KITTY 
record of JApan? I think I've seen the original JApan made CD sometime two yearsago.

13. ANZENCHITAI VIII - TAIYOU (Sun)
    ( Since this is a pretty new album, I haven't got details of it yet.)


If you love particularly the band sound and the music, I think Album IV, V are
the best to buy. As I myself did not buy Albumm I, II, III, I am not clear 
what's in them. I think "Wine red Heart", "Pre-feeling of love", "Hot Vision",
"Romance after midnight " scattered through these three albums.


Regards.
            
Love, Cynthia
