Kyoko Koizumi relives her Harajuku days

TOKYO —

Actress Kyoko Koizumi, 44, held a public recording of her special radio program “Koizumi Kyoko - Harajuku Hyakkei” on J-Wave this week at their studio in Omotesando. “Harajuku Hakkei” features Koizumi talking about photos of the famous district that she has collected and published in the magazine Switch.

The actress said she had been coming to Harajuku since her middle school days. She was joined on the program by songwriter Yasushi Akimoto, 54, who penned Koizumi’s best known classic “Nantte Tatte Idol.” Akimoto praised the actress, saying, “I think Koizumi is the best of the best as far as living idols go. Even at this age, she hasn’t lost her magic.”

    Commercial Queen (advertisement) and beauty of yesteryears may not have lost the magic but magnetic waves are weak now !

    She's one of the few from her generation of 'idols' that can sing, act, talk without a script and be impressive. Saw a movie of hers on the toob not long ago - never once did she flash her famous smile. She can play tough-as-nails in one movie and the simpering mother in the next. Versatile.
