MEMORY LANE - PAGE FIVE

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

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

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

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

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

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