24 HOUR TELEVISION
On this show which Mie and Kei appeared on August 18, 2004, the girls performed, saw old clips from their late 70's salad days, reunited with one of their old T & C handlers and, in something I thought was cool, sang "Pepper Keibu" in perfect synchronization with original footage from 1976! Needless to say, it was all awesome stuff to behold.
LEFT: The Ladies start the ball rolling with a performance of "UFO"
RIGHT: Judging from the "24" emblem on Mie-chan's dress, I'm guessing she was hyping the show!
LEFT: A publicity still of the girls with one of their handlers from the good old days
RIGHT: A reenactment of the girls with their instructor, practicing what I've come to call the 'bunny hop' from "Pepper Keibu"
LEFT: And here he is, still alive and well after all these years
RIGHT: Something which leaves Kei-chan plenty choked up
ABOVE: Mie and Kei perform my favorite song, "Wanted"
BELOW: Let's step up to the plate for "Southpaw"!
LEFT: The girls in the VERY early days from their appearance on Star Tanjo (Birth of a Star)
RIGHT: A vintage performance of "Pepper Keibu"
ABOVE & BELOW: Old school performances of "Nagisa No Sindabd", "Wanted", "UFO" and "Southpaw".
The REALLY good stuff that made Mie and Kei J-Pop legends!
LEFT & RIGHT: These shots were from Pink Lady's ill-fated and ill-conceived 1978 New Year's Eve special
which was, to put it mildly, whomped by the then (and probably still) colossal Kohaku Uta Gassen
LEFT: "Pepper Keibu" from Pink Lady's current tour
RIGHT & BELOW: Mie and Kei move and groove to vintage footage of "Pepper" in the background. How cool is that?
