Burning The Ground Exclusive 1984
“Tokyo Rose” is the debut single by Canadian Rock Band Idle Eyes. The song peaked at #16 on RPM’s Canadian singles chart in June 1985. “Tokyo Rose” won an award that year from SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) as one of the top ten most-played songs on Canadian radio that year.
“Tokyo Rose” was inspired by the generic name “Tokyo Rose”, which was used to describe female Japanese DJs who attempted to shake the morale of American soldiers and spread propaganda in the Pacific Theater during World War II.
“Tokyo Rose” was only released as a 12″ Promo with remixes in the United States.
