    Wiki
    Born in Ikata-cho, Nishiuwa-gun, Ehime Prefecture. Studied under ronikyoku master Matsudaira Kunijuro from the second year of junior high school, but gave up ronikyoku after suffering from rokuninitis. In 1977, she made her major debut with “Dokaiwan no Ryu” on RVC Records (later BMG Victor), after her self-produced song “Dokaiwan no Ryu” became a hit on the airwaves when she was a club singer in Hakata.

    In 1979, “Married Couple Boat” became a long-running hit, followed by “Married Couple River” and “Married Couple Bridge,” the trilogy in the “Married Couple” series. Before her debut, she was married and had three children, but she kept it a secret because the president of her office at the time made her promise not to mention that she had a husband and children . She lost her husband in a traffic accident before the release of the record "Married Couple Bridge.

    For the first 10 years after her debut, her salary was 200,000 yen per month. This included rent and wardrobe expenses. I had some savings from my days as a club singer, so I managed to make a living.

    Later, she learned that his salary at that time was 2,000,000 yen per performance. It was an era when there were more than 10 sales per month. The office president built a mansion, but she continued to live in a rented apartment as usua.
