"Wangan Taiyōzoku" (湾岸太陽族; lit. "Bayshore Route Sun Tribe") is the 11th single by Japanese singer Yōko Oginome. Written by Masao Urino and Minoru Yamazaki, the single was released on March 3, 1987 by Victor Entertainment. The song references the Shuto Expressway Bayshore Route (湾岸線, Wangan-sen).[1][2][3]
Like her previous single "Roppongi Junjōha", "Wangan Taiyōzoku" peaked at No. 3 on Oricon's singles chart, making it Oginome's highest-charting single until "Sayonara no Kajitsutachi" hit No. 1 later that year. It also sold over 162,000 copies.[4]
The B-side, "Konayuki no Resort", was used as an image song for Morinaga High Crown Chocolate.
