Hideki Saijō (西城 秀樹) was a Japanese singer and television personality who was popular in Japan in 70's and 80's for his pop-funky hits. In 1984 he covered George Michael's song "Careless Whisper". The Japanese title was「抱きしめてジルバ and lyrics were translated/adapted into Japanese by lyricist Yumi Morita, rather than being a literal translation of the original English lyrics.
