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.

ブービーLADY はなさない
何にも言うな 濡れたTシャツ可愛い
落ちた涙は うそなどついてない
夏とおまえを RISING さらって真っしぐら
好きなら この胸 飛び込んで来い
誰が本気で 納得するもんか
ナンパ野郎の ROLLING 恋なら転がりな
ブルーな季節が爆発するぜ
※ダメさ ブービーLADY お前がすべてさ
いつでも ダイナマイト やるだけやろうぜ
アー ブービーLADY 俺達2人は
真夏の一秒 まぶしく生きよう※
素顔にルージュけなげだネ
キュートなキッスたまらない
はなしはしない 波にくだけて散っても
2つの孤独は 今すぐ抱きしめる
天気雨なら SHINING 笑ってくちづける
誰より俺には お前が光る
ダメさ ブービーLADY お前に夢中さ
どこでも ダイナマイト やるっきゃないから
アー ブービーLADY 二人のやり方
真夏は永遠 せつなく生きよう
渚のデート 感じるネ
たそがれキッス ふるえるぜ

ブービーLADY 命賭け
ブービーLADY はなさない
ブービーLADY お前だけ
ブービーLADY はなさない
The song "真夏の一秒" by 近藤真彦 is a catchy summer song with romantic undertones. The lyrics describe the singer's infatuation with a woman who has caught his eye. He calls her "Booby Lady" and tells her that she is everything to him. He finds her wet T-shirt incredibly cute, and her tears are genuine and moving to him. He wants to sweep her away for an adventure, taking her far away into the summer. He urges her to jump into his chest if she really loves him, and tells her not to make adult-like excuses like other guys. He wants to reject those guys who are only looking for a quick fling and instead embrace his love for her.
The song describes a passionate and intense romance, where the couple is sure of their love and lives life to the fullest, even if it's just for a moment. They share moments of pure joy - a cute kiss, a date on the beach, and a kiss at sunset. The singer promises to always be there for her and to love her through whatever life throws their way.
