当時人気絶頂のアイドルだった中森明菜が近藤真彦の自宅で手首切るレベルだから

Masahiko Kondo was on a level where Akina Nakamori in her prime as an idol slashed her wrist at his home

男性ソロアイドルでミリオン売ったのはマッチだけじゃね？

But isn't Matchy the only solo male idol who has ever sold over a million?

真島昌利と交流ある時点でアイドルとしては勝ちなのではないでしょうか

私は平成生まれなのでよくわかりませんがね

The fact that he was acquainted with Masatoshi Mashima already made him a winner as an idol.
I really don't get it though since I was born in the Heisei era.

カメリハで仮歌の人と勘違いしてオバさんって言ったんだよ

まさか大御所がカメリハ全力で歌うと思わなかったと

He said "obasan" to her during the dress rehearsal, thinking that she was the stand-in singer.
And the Don probably never imagined that he'd have to sing with everything he got during the dress rehearsal.

例えば高校野球の選手の好きな芸能人で近藤真彦の名前がかなり挙がってた

He was popular with men 1 or 2 years since making his debut because of his delinquent-like persona.
Even the high school baseball players mentioned Masahiko Kondo's name when asked who their favorite celebrity was.

80% of my female classmates were Matchy fans.
He was a granny-killer and was the king of the showbiz world back then.
Tahara did have his time at the top but their current standing in life speaks volumes.

I saw the room of my friend's sister back in 1985 (3rd year junior high), but I got so scared as the walls of her room up to the ceiling were filled with Matchy and Fumiya's posters. There were almost no photos of Toshi-chan there though.

いつか天罰でも下ることがあるんだろうか

I really can't understand why Akina Nakamori was so obsessed with Matchy.
Then Matchy just held that press conference, and then got married and had a kid afterwards.
I feel that karma will bite back one of these days.

若いモデルみたいな子たちにマッチって言っても誰も知らなかった

マッチだよジャニーズの近藤真彦さんって言ってもきょとんとしてた

時代は流れてるんだなぁ

I saw on some program that none of the young models knew who Matchy was.
Even when the host said "It's Matchy, Masahiko Kondo of Johnny's", everyone just had a blank face.
Time sure has passed.

Even someone like me imitated the Matchy hairstyle back then.
I still remember those days now whenever the stylist asks me what I want to do with my sideburns.
