In 1984, an idol made a dazzling debut. She possessed a cool and lovely appearance, and overwhelming singing ability. She appeared on numerous variety shows, and her approachable personality, despite her cool exterior, became a talking point. She was an idol representing the Showa era, but she wasn't a star from the beginning. She failed multiple times in audition programs. She challenged herself to vocal training with a famous vocal coach. And now, a video documenting her rigorous vocal training has been discovered. This is a heartfelt leaked video depicting the days when the legendary Showa idol, Kadokura Suzu, trained her singing ability with an older male vocal coach.



















This is a meticulously crafted piece that perfectly captures the Showa retro aesthetic. Anyone who followed idols from that era will definitely connect with it. Casting 'Natsuki Hikaru' was a brilliant move. In today's entertainment industry, where everything is under scrutiny, back then, what were once wild urban legends turned out to be unspoken realities. Because the parallel world and reality have merged into 'now,' we can glimpse 'eros' within that turbulence. The video is 'deliberately' grainy, and the interactions don't go all the way, so it's a divisive work, but I personally resonated with it. The process of a compliant 'dreaming girl' gradually being corrupted during vocal training is fantastic, and the contrast between her rolling her eyes and vomiting and her dynamic presence on the CRT screen is incredibly sensual.
