ANIME - PAGE FOUR

March 1976: Mie and Kei's moment of truth as they perform on "Star Tanjo"

And it's a perfromance that the audience just loves as they're top of the pops

The applause leaves the girls overcomed from emotion, as Mie and Kei fondly remember

A proud Papa Nemoto gives his daughter a parting gift

while the Masuda family shares a private moment at Papa's grave

On the train, the girls spot their friends and neighbors seeing them off

And the girls are on their way to Toyko. And to becoming the legend known as Pink Lady.

ABOVE & BELOW: Finally, it's time for the girls to leave the nest

Back in the studio, mentor-san comes out to meet and chat with the girls
