The following year, 1988, she won two Best New Artist awards, including the Japan Cable Radio Awards—the first such achievement in the enka world.
In 1990, she made her first appearance on the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen with “Shinobu Ame.” She married Ryotaro Sugi in 1999, and their dedication to welfare activities as a couple is also admirable.
