December 18, 1977. After a performance, in their dressing room, Kei suddenly collapses |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
Screaming from terrible pain. At a hospital, it's revealed that Kei's appendix had burst |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
The doctor tells Kei to take time off, but from the scowl on her face, she's not buying what he's selling |
|
|
|
 |
 |

|
|
|
|
|
After her surgery, Kei reveals her plan to get back on stage: by coiling plastic wrap around her midsection |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
Manager-san and the doc are shocked, but Kei's looks proud of her cleverness, or her insanity |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
And with that, it's back to work for our girl. The hits keep coming with "Southpaw" |
|
|
|

|
|
|
Followed by "Monster" and the incredible Jumping Summer Carival which filled a baseball stadium |
|
|
|
 |
 |

|
|
|
|
|
Culminating with their having won a prestigious awar for "UFO" |

1978. Manager-san tells the girls they're going to America and try and break into the U.S. music market |
