She said that she wanted to sing this song, which commemorates Sadako Sasaki, who died of A-bomb disease while folding 1,000 paper cranes, as one of the A-bomb survivors. However, as the copyright was donated to the City of Hiroshima, her official debut song was Akai Tsubaki no Sanbokasa, which was released the same year . In the same year, Sachiko Kobayashi and Harumi Miyako debuted on the same Nippon Columbia label, and for this reason, the company did not promote Ougi at all .
She came to the forefront with the big hits ‘Aisatsu Kaikyo’ in 1965 and ‘Shinjuku Blues’ in 1967 . This was at a time when there were still no songs with local names [4], and there was some trouble at Columbia meetings because ‘people from regions other than Shinjuku wouldn't buy it, and it's a dark song’ etc. , but the melancholy song was a big hit and became a pioneer of local songs . The song sold 900,000 copies as of 1968 and is considered to have been the biggest hit of the ‘blues’ songs that were popular that year.
She has participated in the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen twice (see below for details) .
She was also active as an actress , and in 1969 she was invited by director Teruo Ishii to star in Nikkatsu's Ascending Dragon: Tekka Hada , and appeared in many films, mainly as a female chivalrous lady in ninkyo films . In ninkyo films, she gained popularity as ‘Nikkatsu no Ougi Hiroko’ alongside Toei's Fuji Junko (now Fuji Junko) and Daiei's Enami Kyoko. Other famous roles include Toho's The Deceptive Spirits of Mountains and Rivers in the Dark (directed by Yasushi Nakahira) in 1971 and the semi-leading female prisoner role in the first film in Toei's Female Prisoner Scorpion series, Female Prisoner No. 701/Sasori (starring Meiko Kaji) in 1972.
