Translation into Japanese

Doogie,

Your comment 

"One thing that separates her from all the 'other' female artists is that she 
is actually a very funny person and enjoyable to listen to,...even if one 
doesn't understand Japanese."

is absolutely true. Seiko used to have a few very highly acclaimed radio shows 
in the early half of 80s. I was very very lucky to hear some of them. She was 
so candid in her comments, and many times very witty even though we know she 
was not intentionally trying to be so. (Idols at that time was not supposed to 
have IQ). And many times too, I would end up funny my head off at alot of the 
things that she said. I guess you are right, she is funny and a true born entertainer.

On the other hand,  Sayaka who appeared in her first variety talk show on TV 
last week really pales compared to the extreme end of the pole where her mother is.
To be fair she was not that bad... but as a viewer, I would not have noticed a 
difference in a Sayaka-in-picture from a Sayaka-live. With Seiko, no one 
questions how gorgeous she looks in pics, but when you see her in action ie 
live, any viewer will find another side of Seiko. The best analogy I can think of,
is listening to Seiko on CDs and you think "wow, you have found a gem" ....but 
what till you see the Seiko-on-stage. In this case Seiko-in-pic and Seiko-in-
talkshows. Simply amazing!

I guess this is what makes Seiko such a star, an in-born one.

ps wishing you guys could understand the language and culture too so that you 
could enjoy yet another higher level of Seiko-magic
