"...if you'd going back into history, the idol who behaves shamelessly like Christina Aguilera was also in Japan. One such group from the '70s was called 'GOLDEN HALF'...they appeared in erotic costume with the super-miniskirts to the extent that seemed to say, "We are aggressive just because we are foreigners" (playing into the Japanese fantasy of exactly how proper foreigners should behave). However, in spite of their different looks, they were loved all over Japan...Although they existed only for several years, they created an unforgettable intense trauma directly all across Japan...GOLDEN HALF are one of the most incredibly strange, but also sweet, cultural accident ever to occur in Japanese entertainment history."
The band appeared in the 1970 Meiko Kaji film Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter. Midnight Eye says:
"The film suggests that mixing the colours might well be a way to building a slightly better world, condemning the domination of one group over another...Pivotal in this regard are the frequent appearances of the all-girl pop group Golden Half...their mixed heritage being their main sales point.
Not to be confused with Golden New Half.
