While going through my VHS tapes looking for the Ota Hiromi Performance of "Momen No Handkerchief", I came across a whole treasure trove of other awesome videos that I'd completely forgotten I'd had, and I'll be trying to rip and upload some of them for you all to peruse!
At the top of the list was this very cool performance by Rieko Miura singing her latest single "Arigato" an incredibly catchy song that surely must be the best thing that came out of Rieko's brief union with Diamond "Tokyo Pop" Yukai who co- wrote the peppy tune! Arigato was just about the last "real" j-pop release from Rieko, and I have to say it's one of her best!
Reiko looks just fantastic here, and interestingly enough, during the short interview before she sang her song, Rieko mentioned that she was currently appearing as a beautician in the NHK Asadora AGRI! Why, that was right- she appeared as a would-be-thief turned apprentice in what would become my absolute favorite Japanese drama of all time! As you may have guessed, seeing as how Agri is in fact my banner picture! But I digress..
