Kyoko Tsujisawa -- Aishuu no Scenario(哀愁のシナリオ)

From Amazon.jp

 


I've never heard of actress/singer Kyoko Tsujisawa(辻沢杏子)before, but she hails from Edogawa Ward in Tokyo, and when she was around seven years of age, she professed a wish to change from her quiet and shy self into someone more assertive. And that she did when she was around eighteen in 1980 when she took on first role as a student in a Fuji-TV drama.

Then in 1984, she made her debut as an aidoru singer...literally on her 22nd birthday (?!) with the first of her four singles up to the end of 1985. In July 1984, she released her one and only album "Kyoko...Story"(杏子…ストーリー)from which is this track "Aishuu no Scenario" (Grief Scenario). Written and composed by TAI, if I hadn't read of her debut as an aidoru on J-Wiki, I probably wouldn't have pegged her initially as such just because of the European-sounding arrangement of the song. With that accordion in there, I was almost tempted to give it the Fashion Music label as well.

Although her singing career was brief, Tsujisawa's acting career lasted right into the 2020s.
