Although she's technically not the first Japanophile, Scottish pop singer Mary Sandeman (aka Aneka) was essentially a weeaboo before those types of people were ever considered cool - and I use the term "cool" loosely. Released under the Aneka moniker, Sandeman's first and only studio album reeks of 80s from beginning to end. The record is cheesy, derivative by today's standards, and ultimately inoffensive, although it's still by no means terrible. It didn't take long for Sandeman to gain one-hit wonder status thanks to her major hit single "Japanese Boy", which is without exaggeration one of the most addictive and fun tracks that Aneka has on display. What also helped was that this particular song gave Sandeman a fairly modest revival around the 2000s, seeing how it was used for Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and all, but that's besides the primary point here. Bottom line: for those who prefer their music retro and as corny as possible, I would suggest you give Mary Sandeman's debut a chance.
