I thought to share the lyrics of the song that signaled the beginning of circle Manikyua-Dan before I write in length of the role of Manikyua-Dan in the history of denpa music. See for yourself the elements that manifest in this song, the first track of TROUBADOUR album KAKI-IN 1993・夏.
The song also received a single version
later the same year (video uploaded by vocalist Ikuko Ebata herself).
The mixing in that version emphasized Ikuko Ebata over the background
sounds, and the vocals were rerecorded in such a way that they give an
amateurish, maidenlike vibe. This results in a different, cute flavor,
especially within the bridge in the middle of the song. The song later received an instrumental arrangement by Takayuki Aihara in 1995 album ZUKI-iN 1995・冬.

3, 2, 1, GO!
最新鋭の宇宙服まとって
ひとりでスターダストに飛び立つロケット
噴射の音が 船の汽笛になる
宇宙の男に女はいらない
いらない いらない いらない～!?
自分勝手な理屈言ってると
キザな火星人になってしまう
ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団
ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団
(マニキュア)
(マニキュア)
金星のバーで月からきた女のコをくどく
宇宙についてのブ厚い知識も
こんなときには役立たず
宇宙の男に女はいらない
いらない いらない いらない～!?
自分勝手な理屈言ってると
キザな火星人になってしまう
ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団
ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団
(マニキュア)
(マニキュア)
マニキュア団さまあ～～～～～～っ
いったいどこに行けば会えるんですか!?
月? それとも金星? それとも···どこぉーーっ
ぼくもぼくもマニキュア団になりたいんです
Take me with you! まにきゅああぁぁぁぁ
ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団
ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団
Yah!
ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団
ぼくはいつかままままままマニキュア団
まにきゅあ！ ダダッ だだだマニキュア団
ぼくはいつか まま マニキュ マニキュア団!
マニキュア
(ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団)
(ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団)
(ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団)
(ぼくはいつか きっとひとりでマニキュア団)
(ぼくはいつか...)
3, 2, 1, GO!
Clad in state-of-the-art spacesuit
A lone rocket taking off into the stardust
With jet sounding like a ship's steam whistle
Men in space have no need for women
No need, no need, no need...!?
If you selfishly spout your ideas,
you'll become a pretentious martian.
Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan
Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan
(Manikyua)
(Manikyua)
In a bar on Venus, hitting on a girl that came from the moon
As well as a wealth of knowledge about outer space
I'm completely useless at times like these
Men in space have no need for women
No need, no need, no need...!?
If you selfishly spout your ideas,
you'll become a pretentious martian.
Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan
Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan
(Manikyua)
(Manikyua)
O great Manikyua-Dan...!
Where in the world must I go to meet you!?
The moon? Or is it Venus? Or else, where...?
I too, I too want to become a Manikyua-Dan
Take me with you! Manikyua...!
Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan
Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan
Yah!
Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan
One day I'll become a Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Manikyua-Dan
Manikyua! Da-Da Da-Da-Da Manikyua-Dan
One day I'll become a Ma-Ma Manikyu Manikyua-Dan!
Manikyua
(Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan)
(Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan)
(Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan)
(Surely one day on my own, I'll become a Manikyua-Dan)
(One day I'll become...)
