History[]
She first appeared on All Night Fuji in 1983 and quickly grew in popularity. She was added to the Oazuke Sisters sub-unit in May 1984 and began her singing career. In September 1984, she dropped out of college, which was a violation of the terms and conditions of being in All Nighters. Therefore, she was forced to leave both All Nighters and All Night Fuji, effectively breaking up Oazuke Sisters. She formally left All Night Fuji and All Nighters following a televised ceremony on December 29th, 1984.[1]
After leaving All Night Fuji, she occasionally returned as a guest host, and retired from the entertainment industry shortly after that. As of 2014, she lives in Australia.
