Kashiwabara Yoshie

Kashiwabara Yoshie was born on October 1, 1965 in Osaka, Japan. There's not much information on her about the times before she became a singer, so I'll start there. In fall of 1979, Yoshie participated in the Star Tanjou contest singing Shimizu Yukiko's "Ogenki desu ka?" and won first place and signed to Phillips. On the 1st of June, the following year, 1980, Yoshie released her debut single "No.1" It however was dismally received at the number 76th spot. Yoshie had fierce competition though, as 1980 was also the debut year for two other strong idols, Matsuda Seiko and Kawai Naoko. Being from Osaka as well, Kawai Naoko and Yoshie became friends. Yoshie's name didn't become big until her 7th single "Hello, Goodbye" earning her a top ten spot at #6. From then on Yoshie's career wavered from side to side, earning many good top ten hits, but also producing an occasional flop here and there. Suffice it to say, her singing skills though good they were, didn't much match up to the glamorous looks or catchy tunes of the other popular idols which competed with her. She garnered a nice fanbase though, reeling out 18 top ten hits, and 2 appearances on the Kouhaku Utagassen program. She has also been nominated consecutively from 1985-1987 for the best singer award. From the late 80s onward, Yoshie's career turned toward an acting prospect and she has starred in many movies and dramas. As of 2006 she has slightly resumed her singing career, and has produced 2 singles since then from her 16 year hiatus. Interestingly enough, the current crown princess of Japan, Michiko is a big Yoshie fan, and has met Yoshie and has her own personalized autographed copy of "Hello, Goodbye." So far, Yoshie has not retired, and with her current restart of her singing career as well as maintaining her acting career, it will probably be a long time before she calls it off. Yoshie's most famous songs are: "Hello, Goodbye", "Haru na no ni", "Saiai", and "Shi-no-bi ai."

Personal Favorite Yoshie Song: Shi-no-bi ai and Kaseki no mori
