My Take
I'll be honest, Midori Satsuki is one of those Showa-era entertainers I find weirdly admirable, because she built a whole career on a kind of grown-up, unbothered sensuality and just never let go of it. The flirty charm of a song like "Ohima Nara Kite Ne" and then the cheeky "Kamakiri Fujin" stuff later on, that's a woman who decided being playful and a little risque was a lifelong setting, not a phase. Born in 1939 in Tokyo's Edogawa, she's been an actress, a singer, and even a painter, which tells me she's got more drawers in her toolbox than most. What gets me is the staying power, well into her eighties and still standing there grinning, owning every room. That's not luck, that's nerve, and I respect it.
