Information
BaBe debuted in 1987 by being on many variety and musical television programs. Their music career started a month later with the eurobeat single Give Me Up, originally by Michael Fortunati, on Feburary 1987. The single was a huge success that even today, other J-Pop artists cover the song like W and Tamiki Nami. Their success continued with their second single, I Don't Know, in May of that year. The song earned the group awards like the 29th Annual Nihon Record Taishou's Rookie of the Year award.
Sadly, the group broke up because Nikaidou Yukari was expecting a kid in 1990. Kondou Tomoko would go onto a brief solo career until she got marriage years later.
