Just finished Last Cinderella and I must say, as always, Ryoko Shinohara is one fine actress.

But, do you guys know that she also sings?

For you fans of Sakura-san, here's a gem from the 90s:

This is the themesong of Street Fighter II(The Anime movie). I remember watching the film on 352x240 resultion which is STANDARD back then. Hahaha.

I actually watched that movie on VHS (remember those)? I remember I used to watch it over and over again. And I loved this song too but I never had any idea who sang it! Then I found out who sang it but this was before I was heavily into dramas so it was just a name. But now I am familiar with Ryoko Shinohara and I had no idea she was a pop star. Now I know!

Betamax and VHS. Of course I remember those. :) Yep, Ryoko Shinohara is a singer! That's why she has a bunch of singing bits/scenes(usually Karaoke after work) on her dramas. :)

Had no idea at all. I always enjoy seeing her on the screen since I watched Anego but this is completely new for me, nice :D

She was awesome in Anego. Last Cinderella might be the better drama overall, but for me, Ryoko did a better job in Anego. :) Glad to know that this thread expanded your Ryoko Shinohara knowledge. :)

We actually had Super Sentai shows first before the Power Rangers(We loved both! Haha) Bioman is my first exposure to the Japanese culture. Voltes V, yes, it was a phenomenon back then! We even had Filipino artists cover the themesong. It was before my time though. However, it did had a revival along with Daimos during the 90s anime explosion in the Philippines. MTV, yes, when MTV actually showed music videos. :D Do you have Filipino friends or had a substantial time in the Philippines?

She'll always have that NHK Kouhaku appearance up her sleeve. Helluva item on her resume.

FWIW my personal Shinohara Ryoko fave is also a Komuro composition, "Motto Motto." For some reason I can't find it on The Tube. Here's a Daily Motion upload: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2jr0y
