Debut songs of 70s idols (21–30)
My teacherSakakibara Ikue
Known by the nickname “Ikue-chan,” Ikue Sakakibara quickly became a big idol thanks to her healthy smile and outstanding singing ability.
Although her bursting, curvy figure became famous, she also found success as a musical theater actress, where she showcased her talent.
monologueOkada Nana
You could even say the word “idol” existed for her: Nana Okada, a perfectly crafted, doll-like presence.
She was that way at her debut and continues to thrive today as an actress.
Her beauty has evolved into something that combines the image from her debut with the allure of a mature woman.
teacherMori Masako
Masako Mori, who, along with Momoe Yamaguchi and Junko Sakurada, blazed the idol trail as one of the famed “three daughters.” Rather than a bright, bubbly idol, she projected a calm image, and with her outstanding vocal ability, her transition to enka was surely a success.
Her debut song is a cute, high-school-appropriate number.
Glass SlopeTakada Mizue
Mizue Takada quickly released hit songs thanks to her exceptional vocal ability.
Her debut single proved her talent by winning a newcomer award, and her singing voice was more that of an artist than an idol.
Although she retired from show business, she has been active as the proprietress of a sumo stable.
Love’s Indian DollRinrin Ranran
They were Rinrin and Ranran, twin idols from America who looked just like dolls.
Later on, pandas became a craze, and people who didn’t know them must have thought they were pandas.
They were popular at the time and worked really hard on variety shows.
Tears of the SunAnzai Maria
Ms.
Maria Anzai had a healthy, lightly tanned complexion that strongly evoked the image of summer.
I imagine many people remember her debut song for its impactful, memorable choreography.
Though she sadly passed away at a young age, her beauty will never be forgotten.
Small ResistanceAimoto Kumiko
Kumiko Aimoto is a figure truly worthy of representing 1970s idols.
She debuted as a singer, but went on to work across multiple fields, including dramas and variety shows.
Her broad range of activities even earned her the nickname of a “variety idol.”
