In 1984, Yuki Saito, like many beautiful boys and girls entering the industry, was secretly sent his resume to the Toho Cinderella audition by his worried mother at home.
Although she was not regarded as Toho Cinderella in the end, she still signed a contract with Toho Entertainment, and later won the Miss Magazine Pageant held by Kodansha's "Shounen Magazine" and made her debut by shooting an advertisement.
In February 1985, she debuted as an idol with the single "Graduation". Her first single hit the top ten of the Oricon Charts, and she was immediately cast as the starring role in the TV series "Tai Mei Criminal" and became "Tai Mei Criminal".
》The first heroine of the series.
Roughly speaking, this is a story about a cute heroine wearing a sailor uniform and holding a yo-yo as a weapon, fighting a battle of wits and courage with an old gang of bad guys.
This "Tai Mei Crime" was adapted from a popular manga, and there are spin-off games on the red and white machines. It was also very popular after being made into a TV series. Starting from starring in this TV series, Saito Yuki became famous in the TV industry, and his acting skills also improved.
felt recognised.
By the way, the second heroine of this TV series is Minamino Yoko, and the third heroine is Asaka Yui. After starring in "Tai Mei Criminal", the popularity of the three heroines skyrocketed and they became the topic of the year.

After starring in "Tai Mei Criminal", Saito Yuki had a smooth sailing. In 1986, she became the heroine of NHK's morning TV series "Storm". Her character was based on Japan's first female reporter Haruko Isomura.

nhk's morning dramas are aimed at housewives and the elderly, who happen to be the main viewers of TV dramas. The heroines of morning dramas are positive, persevering, growing through adversity, inspiring and struggling, and are full of positive energy. Generally speaking, they are likeable.
character of.
Coupled with the fact that it is broadcast six days a week at around 8 a.m., and each show lasts for half a year, the morning drama has a deep mass base and stable ratings. The average rating of "Fire Horse" during the broadcast was 41.7

In this way, being able to be the heroine of a morning TV series will not only increase your popularity, but also increase your favorability, which is a good way to become a famous actress.
In the same year when he starred in the morning TV series, Yuki Saito also served as the red group host of the Red and White Song Festival that year. He was the youngest red group host so far, only 20 years old.
Not only does she serve as a host, she also appears as a singer in the red group, which is a great success. Looking at it all, her resume can be said to be extremely glamorous, and her future is extremely bright, and she is highly anticipated.
…
In 1986, when Saito Yuki, who came from an "orthodox" background, was rushing forward with great momentum, it was also the year when the "Noroko" Kitty Club dominated the music scene.
This year, Asamiko Takai, who was still a member of the Kitty Club, had a role in the movie "Youth Love Dreams" starring Yuki Saito.
Because of this bottle of soy sauce, two girls of the same age became good friends in private.
Even in the heyday of Kitty Club, the group's victory was only a collective victory, not an individual victory for the members.
During the group's heyday, Asamiko Takai, one of the most popular Four Diamonds, was unable to play important roles in film and television works. The group's popularity could not be converted into ratings, which is why it was difficult for the members to continue to develop after the group disbanded.
This is actually not only reflected in movies and TV series, but also in the music world where they dominated for a while.
Fans of Kitty Club are willing to move boxes to support their idols, and they are also willing to support their idols when they start a trumpet group, allowing the group to dominate the sales rankings from its debut to its disbandment.
However, in areas other than sales, their national popularity is obviously not enough, so the data on radio on-demand and cable broadcasts are not good, and their participation in TV series will not contribute to the ratings.
On the sales ranking list, their performance is excellent. However, on a comprehensive list like "TheBestten", their performance does not seem to match the sales volume. Once the data other than sales volume is combined, their true colors are immediately revealed.
Therefore, Kitty Club may seem to be national, but in fact it is still "non-mainstream". Their popularity is more like a bubble that has been blown up. When the freshness of the group is still there, their sales are like cheating.
The past will usher in destruction.
Members who take advantage of the group's fame to form a trumpet group or go solo will have their sales trends linked to the group's sales trends.
These FMCG idols, from the very beginning, when creating programs and groups, did not consider how they would develop in the future. Compared with idols who are selected and cultivated through "orthodox" methods, their careers are shorter and their paths are longer.
It's harder to walk.
…
Saito Yuki arrived a little later than Iwahashi Shinichi. Her arrival was warmly welcomed by Takai Masiko, who pulled Nitta Eri, who was similar in age, to greet her.
1986 was not the peak of Saito Yuki. Her performance after that was still quite good, and she continued to publish works as a singer and actress. She also made great efforts in 1986, and before the Kitten Club disbanded, Nitta Eri's single sales reached
Each one has become worse than the other, and after disbanding, it is even more impossible to recover no matter what you do. The contrast between the two is sharp.
Asamiko Takai married and retired and became an outsider. From now on, she and her husband share weal and woe. Whether it is an honor or a disgrace depends on what this fat young man can do. He does not care about popularity, but for
For Eri Nitta, who is still struggling in the industry and trying hard to gain popularity at the party, facing Yuki Saito, her inner feelings are much more complicated.
Obviously during the heyday of Kitten Club, Yuki Saito's sales couldn't even beat her solo.
However, when she was in the group, Nitta Eri was able to give orders to the people in the group, competed with Sayuri Kuni on stage and in weekly magazines, and was able to boss around the staff.
But after leaving the group, she could only put down her eldest temper and obediently support her. After her popularity faded, the staff she used to boss around also became rude to her.
On the other hand, Saito Yuki, who even came to attend private gatherings, had his manager and part-time driver come to pick him up and drop him off.
Of course, at this gathering where people behind the scenes gather, even Yuki Saito can only support him. Not only because the people behind the scenes have the right to speak, but also because most of the people at this gathering are Akimoto.
Kang’s friends here.
Saito Yuki is considered an idol, but when seen face to face, Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't think she has a pure face. She is wearing short sleeves and her round arms almost have the characteristics of a girl, but
But there is a certain sensuality to it.
When greeting each other, Yuki Saito raised his eyes and looked at Shinichi Iwahashi curiously.
She has a pair of bright, big eyes, which are not unattractive, but they are subtly reminiscent of something neurotic.
