Definitely not for the faint of heart. :)<br /><br />Nakazawa is definitely a new name for me as well especially she didn't stay long at all in show business.

It sounds interesting albeit labour-intensive... I think I may try it some time. <br /><br />On to the song. Kyoko Nakazawa is a new name to me, and I can't say that I'm a fan of her vocal delivery - she sounds like another singer I know of, but I can't put my finger on it - but I like the music to "Machi-wabite". It is indeed very mellow, as you said. Reminds me of the quiet and tranquil island of Tasmania in spring-summer with the sun shining on to the colourful wild flowers and shrubs and filtering into forests with green trees.Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-7069360991438019452015-12-28T19:51:46.350-05:002015-12-28T19:51:46.350-05:00Thanks for the information!

Although I'm not well versed in ...Hello there.<br /><br />Although I'm not well versed in Miyoko Asada's discography from that time, I was aware that she became a household name not only because of her time as an aidoru but also due to her appearances in the family comedy-drama "Terauchi Kantarou Ikka" which is featured in the video of the link that you sent me.<br /><br />I have never seen an episode of the old series but I remember that scene of Miyoko's character on top of the roof with Hideki Saijo singing "Shiawase no Ichiban Hoshi" (The Happy No. 1 Star). After its release in March 1974, it broke into the Oricon Top 10 at No. 7 and became the 62nd-ranked song of that year.<br /><br />I've known about Asada since she has appeared frequently as a TV personality on many shows over the decades.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-18826040405281547112015-12-27T00:50:36.348-05:002015-12-27T00:50:36.348-05:001970s related question - was Miyoko Asada (浅田 美代子)...1970s related question - was Miyoko Asada (浅田 美代子) very popular in the 1970s?
