more eri chiemi

Yes! Sono Mari! that's it. She also had several songs that are a blues/enka 
crossover sort of thing. I sometimes see Ito Yukari and Nakao Mie on tv, 
mainly NHK natsumelo or futari no big show stuff, but I never see Sono Mari. 
Is she, um, still with us?

Recently the Nikkatsu-owned satellite (Sky Perfect) station Neko showed a 
lot of the Sannin musume movies. I tried, I really tried, a couple, but they 
were sooooo inane.... A couple of months ago they did a similar series of GS 
movies, featuring the Spiders, etc. British-Invasion-esque sixties pop. They 
were also horrible, but at least the music was more fun. Now _there's_ a 
good thesis topic.
