“Crazy Nights” was composed for Minako-san by Brian May in 1986. The Japanese language single was released as Side A by Toshiba EMI on the Eastworld Label April 22, 1987. The English Language single was released as Side B in the UK on May 11, 1987. The “flip-side” of both singles was “Golden Days”, also composed by Brian May.

Also, on the program was “本田美奈子. Minako Honda Slow Walk – LIVE (with Wildcats)”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx-RPze6Voo
This video is a reload of my video, posted on another medium in August 2012. The English lyrics follow below:

You wrote me a letter
You called me your friend
You made me feel better
Until you got to the end
You sounded so lazy
Never could fight
I used to be crazy baby
To let you in my life

(Crazy nights)
Love leave the light on (crazy nights)
We kiss and we fight on (crazy nights)
Wearing the bedclothes (crazy nights)
But I can forget those crazy nights
Got to be the best nights of our lives (crazy nights)
(oh yeah)

You took me to Venice
You took me to Rome
I beat you at tennis
So you sent me home
When you’re feeling your ego
You treat me so nice
But mainly where we go baby
I’m lying there seeing your lies

(Crazy nights)
Ooh got to care me (crazy nights)
Nothing to save me (crazy nights)
You put under pressure (crazy nights)
Baby better guess your crazy nights
Get to be the best nights of our lives
Crazy nights (crazy nights)
Crazy nights

One two three four one let’s go

I shouldn’t find your letter, yeah yeah yeah
I’m telling no lies
I got to be dead and buried
To let you live my life (let you live my life)

(Crazy nights) Love leave the light on yeah yeah yeah
(Crazy nights) We kiss we kiss we kiss and we fight on
(Crazy nights) You put under pressure
(Crazy nights) Baby better guess your crazy nights
Got to be the best nights of our lives

(Crazy nights) Mainiti mainiti baby
(Crazy nights) Nanikao
(Crazy nights) Nakushite
(Crazy nights)
Sagashite itamonowa
Jibun kamo shirenai

Crazy nights…
So crazy so crazy…
Crazy crazy crazy crazy nights…

  1. Thank you for your fine comment, 717hase-san. Minako-san let it all lay out in this performance, as did her co-musicians. It is a fascinating contrast to "Slow Walk", from the same concert, where her friends seemed to have held back and let Minako-san go with the flow…michael

  2. アグレッシブでパワフルで
    美奈ちゃんパワー全開ですね！♡

    かっこいいなぁ〜♡
    いつも絶えず全力に全速力で生きてた、

    いつもいつもローペースな
    私は、美奈ちゃんのすばしっこさと溢れる力、漲る明るさ半分くらい分けて欲しくて

    美奈子ちゃんの歌聴いて
    毎日 元気貰って生きてます

    美奈ちゃんありがとう😊

  5. アップ有難う御座います〜〜‼️
    懐かしい〜💕

    あれ？ツイン🥁ドラムじゃないんですね。

  6. 美奈子ちゃんの黒歴史と思ってたけど、聴いてみたらメンバーみんなめちゃめちゃレベル高いな。元気だったら一度くらい再結成したかもね。

  8. あの頃アイドルからアーチストになるのにみんな付いてこれなかった。時代が早かった。行き急いだとはこの事よ。親友のナンノさんも葬儀で言っていた。
    センスが抜群

  11. アップありがとうございます！
    観客も一体になった最高のパフォーマンス！

  13. Me emociona mucho Minako en este concierto junto a las Wild Cats , sería fabuloso que hubiese grabado algún tema con Freddie Mercury.

  15. 歌を歌うのが好きで好きでたまらない♥️(๑♡∀♡๑)、そんな美奈子さんが、僕は好きで好きでたまらない(⑉• •⑉)❤︎
