'Pepper Keibu' (ãããã¼è¦é¨, PeppÄ Keibu, lit. Inspector Pepper) is the debut single by the Japanese hit duo Pink Lady. The single was released on August 25, 1976, under the Victor label. 'Pepper Keibu' reached a peak chart position of number four, with a total of 1,050,000 sales.[1] The titular song won the duo the 'rookie award' at the 18th Japan Record Awards.[2] The original recording did not have the signature 'Pepper Keibu yo' at the end, as the live performances did. Subsequent recordings and covers do, however, include the line. A number of reissues have been made, including 8 cm and 12 cm CD versions.
According to Oricon this was the 14th best selling single from 1977.[3]
At the time of the song's release, songwriter YÅ« Aku was often asked if it was inspired by the Lockheed bribery scandal in Japan, as the arrest of Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka was fresh in the public's memories. Aku responded by saying the song took inspiration from Inspector Clouseau from The Pink Panther series, as well as ShirÅ Sone's song 'Wakai Omawari-san' (è¥ããå·¡ããã, lit. 'Young Police Officer'), Rakugo's 'Kushami KÅshaku' (ãããã¿è¬é, lit. 'Sneezing Lecture'), soft drinks such as Dr Pepper, and The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
In 1987, Pink Lady recorded an English-language version titled 'Seargeant Pepper' for the compilation BLOOD NEW.
A re-recorded version of the song was included on the 2-disc greatest hits release, INNOVATION, released in December 2010.

A cover of 'Pepper Keibu' was released by the idol pop group Morning Musume as a single on September 24, 2008[4] under the Zetima label to promote their upcoming ninth album, Cover You, a tribute to producer YÅ« Aku. The Single V DVD of the single was released on October 22, 2008. The single was their first cover single since 'Morning Musume no Hyokkori HyÅtanjima' more than five-and-a-half years before. The single peaked at #3 on the Oricon weekly chart, charting for six weeks.[5] The single was released in three editions, a limited A coming with a DVD, a limited B comes in special packaging with a 40-page photo booklet and a regular edition. Tanaka Reina and Michishige Sayumi are the only members to receive solo lines in Pepper Keibu.
