Hidemi Ishikawa emerged as a prominent Japanese pop idol in the early 1980s, captivating audiences with her dynamic performances and versatile musical style. Born on July 13, 1966, in Seto, Aichi Prefecture, she was selected from over 55,000 applicants in a 1981 audition organized by renowned singer Hideki Saijō. Debuting in 1982 with the single "Yōsei Jidai," Ishikawa quickly rose to fame, earning multiple newcomer awards and becoming a key figure among the "Hana no 82 Nen Gumi," a cohort of successful idols from that year. Her discography includes hits like "Hey! Mister Police Man" and "Namida no Paper Moon," showcasing her adaptability across pop and synth-rock genres. In 1990, she retired from the entertainment industry following her marriage to Hirohide Yakumaru of the boy band Shibugakitai. Post-retirement, Ishikawa ventured into jewelry design, launching her brand Alohilani in 2014. ([it.wikipedia.org](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidemi_Ishikawa?utm_source=openai))
