Welcome to November! So, only two months left in 2021. Whoa! Where did the time go? Well, as I type these words of wit(?) in late October, the weather here has finally started to turn a little chilly, no more unwelcome July like humidity from earlier in the month, and that’s fine by me, I only hope this doesn’t lead to a cold winter which officially starts a month from now.
Now, since it’s November, that means Thanksgiving is this month, and so, doing a tie-in with all things Pink Lady, I thought I’d present two features that fans of Mie and Kei would be most thankful for. The first thankful feature is “Pepper Keibu”, both the first single which introduced Japan to Pink Lady, and the album it had been on. After Mie and Kei got themselves noticed from their appearance on “Star Tanjo” and were signed by Trust & Confidence, when the girls came on the scene with “Pepper Keibu”, no one knew what to expect from the cute duo who had transformed from the pedestrian overalls from Tanjo to the spangly minidresses when they made their debut as Pink Lady. In fact, it was a wonder the girls ever made it to the big time at all, from information gleaned from the 2004 Christmas Eve TV special that chronicled Mie and Kei’s history, the bigwigs at T & C were none too pleased with the debut song and were threatened with a pink slip if it failed. Fortunately, the girls won an award for best debut, and, as the old saying goes, was history. With that, I’ll present reviews of the album by Verne Innhel, Trooper Tru McCray and yours truly for your consideration.
