``Streets of Fire'' ``Rock'n'Roll Fable'' creates timeless music that continues to shine

The opening and last two songs are so dramatic and cool.

What captures the hearts of viewers in ``Streets of Fire'' is the opening scene of Ellen Aim and the Attackers performing live. The song is "Nowhere Fast." The up-tempo drums overlap with the flowing piano, and the tension is high all at once. Ellen Aim ran towards the microphone from the wings of the stage and suddenly dominated the scene with her powerful vocals. From there, skillful editing, troubling color stage lighting, and vivid camera work are used to the fullest, and the sequence from the singing to the spectacular action scene is one of the coolest in movie history. The more I want to declare it!

The role of Ellen Aime is played by Diane Lane, but her singing voice is not her own, but is provided by Laurie Sargent, the vocalist of the band Face to Face, and Holly Sherwood. is said to have been a composite of the two singing voices). The Attackers who appear in the play are members of Face to Face.

The song was written by Jim Steinman. In the early 1980s, he worked on Bonnie Tyler's " Hero ", which was used in the soundtrack of the aforementioned "Footloose", Tyler's big hit " In the Shadow of Love ", and Air Supply's " Vow on the Shore ". is a hit maker. The band name ``Fire Inc.,'' listed as the artist of ``Nowhere Fast'' in the soundtrack for ``Streets of Fire,'' is the name of the members Steinman assembled for this work. And there are no other activities.

The Steinman + Fire Inc. song also appears at the end. "Tonight is What It Means to Be Yong." The Japanese title is ``Tonight is Youth,'' which sounds a bit embarrassing when you listen to it now, but the scene of this song is also ``paired'' with the opening scene, making it extremely dramatic. ``Tonight is Youth'' was covered by Megumi Shiina in Japanese under the title ``Tonight is ANGEL,'' and was also used as the theme song for the 1985 drama ``Janus no Kagami.''

In any case, these two songs by Steiman, like his other masterpieces, have a dramatic structure, and while they evoke a sense of 1980s nostalgia, they have a taste that never gets old.
