Susan (Japanese singer)

Susan was a pop singer who recorded in Japan in the early 1980s. She is half- French and half- Japanese. Her music is technopop in style, mainly featuring synthesisers and drum machines.

Her records were released by CBS in the UK, though no single ever reached the top 40. In Japan, Epic Sony released her music. She was known to collaborate with various members of Yellow Magic Orchestra and other Japanese producers of the time such as Kazuhiko Katoh, Yukihiro Takahashi, Hajime Tachibana and Keiichi Suzuki. Though all her releases refer to her as Susan (or Suzan if directly taken from the Japanese katakana transliteration of her name, スーザン), the CDDB refers to her as being "Susan. E" when the Complete Susan CD is played in Winamp or RealPlayer. Aside from singing she has also done some work as a model for clothing company Miho Matsuda and cosmetics company Shiseido Co. Ltd.

Since 2005 Susan has been playing live dates in Tokyo featuring re-arranged versions of her releases and has been writing new material.

Susan (20 February 1944 – 26 January 1959) was a Pembroke Corgi dog owned by Queen Elizabeth II that was given to her on her eighteenth birthday. Following the dog's death in 1959, the Queen personally designed a memorial to be placed at Sandringham House. Susan was the first of a long line of Corgis and Dorgis ( Dachshund/Corgi crosses) owned by the Queen, all of them descended from Susan. The dogs have often accompanied the Queen in her public appearances, and have thus come to feature prominently in her public image.

Susan (song)

"Susan" is a song released in 1967 by The Buckinghams. The song spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 11, while reaching No. 7 on Canada's RPM 100, No. 2 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade, No. 2 in the Philippines, and No. 18 on New Zealand's NZ Listener chart.

The song contains a short excerpt of Charles Ives' composition, Central Park in the Dark, which contrasts sharply with the sunshine pop flavor of the majority of the song. The section containing this excerpt was added by producer James William Guercio, and the group disliked this addition after they heard it. This section was edited out by many radio stations who played the song.
