Old Faves Still Making The Grade

Back in 1996 CoCo was my favorite J-pop group and member Rieko Miura was my favorite idol, and meanwhile on television my favorite drama was Kekkon Shiyouyo and my favorite actress was it's star Hikari Ishida....

Rieko Miura 1996
So it was a particular thrill when checking out the new drama Yaneura no Koibito and the very first actresses I see are Hikari and Rieko themselves, now all grown up as two sassy women! 
Hikari and Rieko in 2017
Mmmm, Who would have thunk that 20 years later I would be watching j-dramas and the two of them would still be right up there among the best of them!
Haven't seen Hikari ishida in awhile, she's definitely not as prolific as her sister Yuriko, anyway, but it's soo good to see her looking as lovely as ever!
And Rieko...back then, she was the adorable "princess" of CoCo, who could have dreamed that she would one day be makin' a respectable career outta playing these sexy cougar-type ladies?!
