Noriko Sakai (52), nicknamed “Nori-pea” and one of the top idols of the 1980s, opened a new channel on Nico Nico Channel Plus, “Noriko Sakai’s Official Channel ‘Nori-nico! On July 4, she held a press conference in Tokyo,

She said, “I named this channel with the hope that everyone will watch this broadcast and think, ‘Oh, that was fun,’ or ‘I’ll do my best tomorrow. I hope we can create a positive program that will give you energy for tomorrow.

He also expressed his aspirations. She also announced that Victor Entertainment will release “Premium Best” (3 CD set), a best album produced by her to commemorate the 35th anniversary of her debut. The album will also include new songs, and a live concert for Nico Nico Channel members only will be held in October.

In 1998, when she was at the height of her popularity, she married a man who was a professional surfer, had a son, and became a mother, but her popularity did not wane. She steadily worked her way up to become a nationally known actress, appearing in films promoting the jury system, but in 2009, she was arrested for violating the Methamphetamine Control Law.

After receiving a suspended sentence, she tried her hand at nursing care work and continued her steady talent activities, but it was quite difficult to get rid of her unfavorable image. I have the impression that she is finally making a fresh start.
