Queendom is the second album of the Japanese rock group Show-Ya. The album was released on 1 March 1986 in Japan.[1]
Show-Ya's second album was recorded with less external pressure than their debut album Masquerade Show and presents only songs composed and arranged by the band. The album was again mixed at Abbey Road Studios in London by Haydn Bendall.[2] The band shoot their first video clip for the single "Shidokenaku Emotion".
In this work the sound of the band is more identifiable and shows in many songs a powerful hard rock feel, with the strong interaction between keyboards and guitars that will become a characteristic feature of the band. However, Terada's romantic lyrics and the acerbic looks of the costumed musicians seem to pigeonhole this work as a pop-rock album, in the vein of Princess Princess similar products.
