🌎 America in the 1980s – Wounds, Dreams, and a New Beginning
After the Vietnam War, America was still reeling from its scars.
Rambo fought on screens, the voices of hippies faded,
the economy stagnated, and even cinema seemed to falter under the rise of color television.
Yet, light began to break through.
George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and other indie creators emerged,
while Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were building empires in garages.
President Reagan proclaimed a return to a “strong America,”
sparking an identity renaissance.
Into this chaotic landscape came two women:
Madonna and Cyndi Lauper.
- Madonna embodied power and self-determination, redefining female autonomy and sexual expression.
- Cyndi brought vivid colors, unrestrained playfulness, and hope—becoming a trickster goddess of her time.
🇯🇵 Japan in the 1980s – Economic Glory and Silent Shadows
Meanwhile, Japan stood on the threshold of an economic miracle:
the bubble era. “Japan as Number One” was the mantra as money flowed like rivers, buying up chunks of the world.
But beneath this glittering surface lurked:
greed, intense entrance exam wars, suicides, corporal punishment, gang violence.
- “Is a life laid out on rails true happiness?”
- “Is money enough to fill the void?”
Amid this suffocating atmosphere, a young girl ran headlong into the spotlight:
NOKKO.
Her lyrics burned with raw emotion—innocence, desire, sin, and redemption.
A fragile heart and body hurtling toward self-destruction.
In her songs, the unrest of Japanese youth found its voice.

- NOKKO offered the beauty of vulnerability and self-destruction.
This was not coincidence.
It was synchronicity—a trinity of shamanic women echoing across time and culture.
