World Popular

Song Festival

Goodbye Morning

Studio single

At the beginning of her musical career, Sandii won

the 11th Popular Song Contest in Japan.  Her song was "Goodbye Morning."

Later that year, her "Goodbye Morning" also won the World Popular Song Festival. 

The same song was then released as a single by her with a new studio recording.

There have been many compilations since then with Sandii singing "Goodbye Morning."

But none of the versions have ever returned the listener to Sandii's beginning.

Here is her original winning Popcon performance, live, from a rare LP of the event.

"Perusha Neko Wa Koi Dorobo" and "Anohito."

This is Sandii's first 7" single.

She is listed as Sandie I on the insert and Sandy I on the record.

Recorded and released only in Hawai‘i, this single is extremely rare!

Click the button above for a sample of her recording.

Two of the more famous recordings Sandii made are rarely known to be hers.  She recorded the ending theme called "Love Squal" for Lupin the 3rd as Sandra Hohn.  She made the entire album called "Mystery Nile" as Sandy OʻNeil.  Click the buttons for samples of each.

Sandii's Hawai‘i (the 1st) was released in Japan in 1996.   It was a

a remarkable commercial success, dominating Hawaiian music sales that year. 

The decision was made to release it in the U.S.  The cover photo was reversed

and it was released in Hawai‘i by Neos Records. 

This U.S. release is quite uncommon.

Many of the Guest Vocals are hard to find. 

But "Live Capsule" was a real surprise! 

Although she is not credited on the record,

Sandii says it really is her.  Click the audio button

below the picture and listen for yourself.

Here is another mystery guest vocal.  The photo was sent in without the music.  But the sender let us know that the music was also available on a compilation CD.  He sent the name of that CD.  The compilation CD is shown in the little thumbnail.  The original release is above that with a button to play the audio.  Sandii says it actually is her.

The original versions of any of Sandii's CM music are

usually hard to find.  But this 7" CM release is

particularly interesting.  It bears not only

Sandii's voice, but her handwriting.  The bottom

right corner of the cover says in her handwriting

"Keep heating up our hearts!"
