Ohashi got her start in music when she joined a band while she was at Hokkaido University.
Inspired by such artists like Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66 and Janice Joplin, Ohashi hoped to add soulful singing to her music. She later became a DJ at a local radio station before having a part-time job at the Yamada Headquarters in Tokyo.
There, she auditioned for a chance to release music and won a record deal.
In 1974, Ohashi made her debut with the album Feeling Now and the single "Kagi wa Kaeshite". Her second album, Paper Moon, helped to gain Ohashi some popularity. But it wasn't till 1977 with the single "Simple Love" that Ohashi gained a smash hit. Throughout the late 70s and 80s, a couple of her singles also became big hits.

The lyrics of 大橋純子's song AH-OH 10% talk about a woman who is giving her heart to someone, hoping for a summer-like illusion. However, she realizes that the person she is giving herself to is not fully committed, just going through the motions and missing the mark. The phrase "貴方10%" refers to the person only giving 10% effort or attention to the relationship.
The second paragraph describes a man who still retains his youthfulness but is not taking relationships seriously. He is compared to a gentleman dancing with coconut tree leaves during summer, emphasizing his carefree nature. He remains single and laughs and makes the woman cry, indicating his insensitivity and lack of consideration. Again, the phrase "貴方10%" emphasizes his lack of commitment.
The third paragraph talks about the woman's frustration with the situation. The phrases "コロコロ コロコロ Locomotion" and "ナカナカ ナカナカ Navigation" suggest her feelings of confusion and uncertainty. Even when they are together, she doesn't understand him, and even when they are apart, she still can't comprehend his actions. She can't wait for the passionate nights, but even a kiss feels cold due to his rare indifference. The phrase "Ah oh, Ah oh, 女心を迷わせる" implies that his behavior confuses her emotions, and the repetition of "10%" reinforces his lack of understanding or consideration for her feelings.
In the fourth paragraph, the lyrics shift focus to another man, characterized as a less popular but still charming type. His smile is mentioned as a part of his appeal, but the woman desires more, especially on scorching hot afternoons by the poolside. However, the man only gives her 10% of what she desires, never fully embracing her.
The chorus repeats the same frustrations and feelings of being unnoticed or unappreciated by both men. The phrase "Ah oh, Ah oh, 女盛りは充たされず" suggests that the woman's desires and needs are not being fulfilled. It can be interpreted as her longing for a deeper, more genuine connection and not being satisfied with mere superficial interactions. The constant recurrence of "10%" further emphasizes the idea of giving minimal effort or attention in these relationships.
