^Yes, nice to see you posting again! .

Well, basically, this is the shakedown on how I found Wink. I was watching a repeat of the concert 'Hello! Project 2004 SUMMER ~Natsu no Doon!~ ' as I hadn't it watched in ages! I really liked the song that W sang with Yasuda, Kimura and Inaba. I searched the tracklist and found out it was an actual W song, taken from their 1st album. I was so confused at why I didn't remember it from the album. I guess I'm not the W fan I thought I was . .
Anyways, on wiki.thePPn, it said it was a Wink cover so I checked that out and it was just as good. Usually old j-pop stuff doesn't do anything for me, but Wink does. I remember I was humming the tune on the train. Wether it was the W or Wink version, I don't know but either way, it's a good sign.

I'm a complete Wink newbie, so give me all your information. .

I'm also a kind of newbie, actually...
If you have the time, just check out the links in my first post, and start by focusing first on searching for their singles on YouTube, i.e. by copying and pasting the title of the song (in Japanese)... after that, one link should lead to another, so happy searching!

^Yes, I shall do! .
Are these recent photos of Suzuki Sachiko?
She looks older in those than in the most recent single covers. Ina good way obviously!
Oh yus, 'Furimukanaide' is a Wink cover. .
I loved that B-side from W's 'Koi no Fuga'.
They sound really good together on this track.
Any idea what the girls are doing now?

I really don't know... and usually, I prefer not to view photos of my favourite singing idols in swimsuits... too distracting...

Oh yus, 'Furimukanaide' is a Wink cover. .

Actually, I thought The Peanuts were the original singers for that song?

Any idea what the girls are doing now?

I'm afraid I have very little idea... Saeba Ryo, the other regular poster in this thread, might know a bit more...

It's a lot harder to follow their careers now that they are not in the spotlight anymore. However a quick check on cdjapan gives us some releases.
Sachiko Suzuki -http://www.cdjapan.c...html?key=254993
Of note is that Voice is also a photobook and as you can see from the dvd cover she shows quite a bit of skin. Very risqué but it doesn't look like any hardcore stuff.

Shoko Aida -http://www.cdjapan.c...html?key=230464
And as mentioned in the previous page she is now managed by Up Front (after Wink disbanded) and sang a song for the movie ほたるの星 (Hotaru no Hoshi) which starred Risako of Berryz. She also released 2 photobook, one of which is Aegean, which she did with morning Musume's Kaori Iida.
Note also Uta Doki is listed. She sang with Nacchi on episode 124.

It's about time!
At 38yo, I've been wondering what took her so long to find a husband...

[faraithi sayounara~*waves*]

Is that Aida-san sitting on the extreme left of the panel of players, who're playing a game to guess who the hidden celebrity is?

That's the largest screen size for a vid I've ever seen on YouTube!

And I was pleasantly surprised to discover my new favourite Wink song in a similar size:

さよなら小さなCrybaby

My new favourite Wink song, :

渚物語 (Nagisa Monogatari)

[Saeba Ryo]

Looks like Sachiko is planning a music comeback.

Maybe, just maybe there's a chance for a Wink reunion.

[faraithi sayounara~*waves*]

^ @Saeba Ryo: Thanks for the news!
And it would be even better news if the Wink reunion really does happen!

[Jaseybase]

Sorry to revive an old thread, but it appears that Sachiko is making an AV debut... O_O
