He became a top idol when he was 15 and was very famous throughout the 80’s. He had a lot of sales records. His first single set records for sales for a debut single by a male solo artist. The song debuted at number one. No other solo male artist has ever done this. At the age of 23 he won a top Japanese singer award - Japan Record Award.
Matchy was in several plays and movies at the beginning of the 90's. He got married in 1994, but kept his private life very private.
From 1998, he went full-time into his racing career. He rarely appeared on TV and did not release any new songs. He occasionally appeared on TV but as a racer, or racing commentator.
In 2005, he decided to come back for the 25th anniversary of his debut with a Best Of album. He's been active since.

近藤真彦 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君は裸足でシャム猫のステップ
俺の気持ち 知ってるくせに冷たい表情だね
ためいきロカビリーまなざしはゆらめく
Twist & Shout
恋のショーのベルが鳴るぜ
You Just Lonely Girl くじけそうな Baby Face
ためいきロカビリー リーゼント乱す南風
You Just Wanna Dance 濡れた髪が Sexy
浮気な海のうわさを集めて
赤いビキニのレーザー光線
少し俺に気があることも ばれているのに
ためいきロカビリー せつなさのボードで波乗り
Game ならば おりるわねと
You Just Lonely Girl つぶやいたね Baby Face
ためいきロカビリー 口笛もマイナー・コードさ
海を見てる君の肩を
You Just Wanna Dance 抱きしめれば Sexy
潮風は Rock & Roll 魂のドラム
強く叩くように俺のこと 愛してくれよ
ためいきロカビリー くちびるに氷の花びら
哀しませるポーズだけが
You Just Lonely Girl 色っぽいね Baby Face
ためいきロカビリー 砂浜が俺のステージさ
ギター抱いて ねころがれば
You Just Wanna Dance 濡れた髪が Sexy
The lyrics to 近藤真彦's song ためいきロ・カ・ビ・リー is about a man who desires the attention of the woman he loves. He sings that she dances barefoot to the rhythm of the scorching sun, stepping like a Siamese cat. He knows that she understands his feelings for her, but she remains cold and distant. He then sings about how his gaze wavers with a sigh, and he wants to twist and shout when the bell of love's show rings. The woman's baby face gives off an air of loneliness, and the man's pompadour blows wild with the southern breeze.
The song's chorus talks about how the woman wants to dance and be embraced by the man while the sea gossips about her infidelity. The lyrics describe the laser beams from her red bikini, and how she reveals that she is interested in the man. The song continues with the two dancing and surfing, and that the woman's lips have the appearance of ice flowers. Despite this, the man tells her to love him with the strength of a rock and roll drum. Overall, the song expresses the man's hopes for the woman's love and his frustration at her indifference.

私自身は､「嵐を呼ぶ男」💓は､石原裕次郎さんのoriginalが1番で､その次が渡哲也さんのremake版だが🙇♪。でmatchy版のは1度も観た事ないです♪。先の日活版の2作は､jazz drumsでmatchy版のはrock drumsになってたらしいのは本当に注目ですな😊♪!

この歌聞きながら思った。婆さんになってボケたらマッチの歌を聞かせてほしい、きっとまだ歌える気がする。
