• @Miraclepine: This article is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No copyvio or BLP issues. QPQ done. With regard to ALT1, does the source say that her career started after being noticed by Stevie Wonder? Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 00:39, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

• Note that I had to AGF the 今月の新人 source since it was directly translated from jawiki so I don't have access. Also, the article indicates chronologically that she switched from music journalism to recording music after she met Stevie Wonder, and that she started doing CM songs and working on the Ann Lewis recording after 1982 (when she returned to Japan). ミラP@Miraclepine 00:46, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

• @Miraclepine: I see! Could you make this a little more explicit in the article, to reflect ALT1? Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 00:48, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

• @Tenpop421: Well, not having 今月の新人 makes this complicated, but I just gave it a try. Thoughts? ミラP@Miraclepine 00:53, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

• That's alright for me. Both hooks cited, in the article, with offline source accepted in good faith. I prefer ALT1. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 00:57, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

• Thinking about it, ALT0 is prob the safer option. Tenpop421 (talk) 13:10, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
