Pink Lady

Blast from the past! Pink Lady (ピンク・レディー, Pinku Redī?) was a Japanese female pop music duo of the late 1970s and early 1980s, featuring Mitsuyo Nemoto (“Mie” – pronounced “Me-ay”) and Keiko Masuda (“Kei”). In Japan, they are remembered for a run of pop-chart hits from roughly 1976 to 1979, but in the United States, they are best known for their short-lived 1980 NBC TV variety show Pink Lady, later released on DVD under the title Pink Lady and Jeff.

Pink Lady is one of only two Japanese artists to have reached the Billboard Top 40, hitting #37 with the single “Kiss in the Dark;” the other was Kyu Sakamoto with “Sukiyaki.”
