All The Pretty Guardians!

 Since we've been talking about Hikaru, Hiroko Moriguchi and Fuyumi Sakamoto doin' the Sailor Senshi thing on the 1993 Kohaku, I think it's a great time to revisit that classic performance!!!
Interestingly enough, on Hiroko Moriguchi's own blog, she posted a FUN photo of a recent re-enactment by Hiroko, Hikaru and Fuyumi Sakamoto!
...and ALL looking as gorgeous as ever!!

Shopping With Hikaru on "Hirunandesu!"

 There’s a fun variety show that’s regularly on the television when I drop in on my favorite Japanese izakaya each weekend, called “Hirunandesu!” which focuses on food, fashion and popular places. Usually it’s mostly on in the background as we chatter and chow down, but this past week I was thrilled to find that Hikaru herself was going to be a guest on the show (along with Hiroko Moriguchi whom I also love), and regular Asako Ito to do some shopping!
Seems like it's been awhile since I've seen Hikaru appear in anything aside from clips, so it's a real treat to see her in a lenghty show. And I must say, she looks as sweet and beautiful as EVER!!!!
The women dropped in on “Large Shopping Mall” Aeon Mall and visited several stores focused on foods, sauces and cleaning goods, all of which were simultaneously shared with the in-house celebrities to try out!

LET'S GO SHOPPPPPINGGGGG!!!
Hirunandesu! isn’t one of the variety shows anyone is subtitling, however it was easy enough to understand and enjoy- I mean, it's gals getting excited shopping, how hard can it be to understand!
"What a Deal!!"
Quite fun watching the easygoing camaraderie between the ladies, especially with Hikaru and Hiroko who complement each other well, Hikaru prim and proper and Hiroko loud and zany!
Strangely they did not mention Hiroko’s singing or acting career, treating her more as a semi-regular? Maybe she is, I don’t know. But she sure was fun! As a fan of the old Yume Ga Mori Mori show I’ve always associated her with silliness and she didn’t disappoint here!

Speaking of singing, giggles were had as Asako and Hiroko broke into song, belting out a few lines of Hikaru’s classic signature tune “Kitto Ai Ga Aru” to her! 
"Aru ga RU RU RU!!!"
I had mentioned to my friend that Hiroko and Hikaru had appeared together before, dressed as Sailor Senshi on the Kohaku Uta Gassen some many many years back, (which I talked about here)... Sure enough they brought it up and even showed the picture of it!
Ah, those were the days! Glad to see everyone looking healthy and still doing well!
Would LOVE to see more pairings like this!
