Youjok san, thank you for the ^ post!!! It was interesting to see Rika with some of the idols who preceded her!
the other three ladies,still very lovely and genki, were:
榊原郁恵 Ikue Sakakibara- She was the winner of the very first Horipro Talent Scout Caravan in 1976, and has been active as a singer, theatre and television actress since.
新田 恵利 Eri Nitta - A member of the Onyanko Club, who became the star of the group, she was given the title of 'The Million Dollar Smile' on her singles. She continues to be active as an author and radio performer, and as a guest on variety shows.
浅香 唯 Yui Asaka- In 1984 she was the Grand Prix Winner for Young Girls Comics magazine, and was featured as the main character of the comic 'Shooting Star' She became very noted when she starred in the third installment of the TV series 'Sukeban Deka' (Rika later appeared in a version of 'Sukeban Deka' with Ai Matsuura playing the heroine, and Rika as the villain). Asaka san has remained active in the singing and acting world.
Rika looked wonderful in this show, and unlike the other ladies, she didn't mention her salary, but did talk about the extra pay that could be earned with CM's, photobooks, etc. Great show!
