In front of the bigwigs at Trust & Confidence, Pink Lady prepares to make their debut |
|
|
|
 |
 |

|
|
|
|
|
Garbed in cute minidresses and platform shoes, Mie and Kei sing "Pepper Keibu" for the said bigwigs |

|
|
However, said bigwigs are less than impressed, much to the chagrin of Manager-san |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|||
|
|
|
|
|
With that less than ringing endorsement, "Pepper Keibu" debuts, coming in 99th on the charts |

The girls are bluntly told that if they don't succeed, they're done, plain and simple |

 |
 |

|
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, the girls win an award for best new act, and Pink Lady takes off. "SOS" is their first chart topper |

|
|
|
|
Followed by "Carmen '77" and "Nagisa No Sindbad".... |

 |
 |

|
|
|
|
|
|
Followed by "Wanted" and "UFO". Pink Lady are officially on top of Japan's pop music scene |

While Mie and Kei are seemingly having the time of their lives as musci superstars.... |

Behind the scenes, the frenetic, non-stop pace was taking a physical toll on the girls |
