Who Is Rie?

Rie was born on September 2 1957 right here in Japan. She is therefore one of the most popular members of Another Japanese singing trio, Polar Vortex 2. 

Do you know where she's from?

I'll give you a hint.

Okinawa

On May 15, we got a phone call from Rie and she said that the portrait of Richard Nixon had disapeared, but the New portrait of the Emperor is placed instead. That's because Okinawa returned to Japan. She is going to miss watching Rudolph on NBC, but at least Rie is going to watch Rudolph on Nippon TV (Nippon TV is Japan's rights) due to Rie not getting an NNN. Rie is MOVING TO TOKYO!

THE REAL REASON...........

In today's world, Nippon TV Airs Rudolph as early as the first Friday of November, but in 1972, NTV aired it on the exact same day (yep, Dec 8 1972) as CBS, but NTV Aired it first. That's because CBS Airs Early News at that time. Before that, Christmas was prohibited in the household (ugh!) for the first time in Years (1945 to 1971). MMP, or Music Mates Players used Rudolph Mambo for NTV's telecast, with REAL Commoners (they're people, like me, who don't have a rank). Since I'm a commoner (yep, I Was born a commoner), They Appear, holding presents with words in Japanese. We're one of the few countries that televises Rudolph had credits done with Live action scenes and Real People. (CBS Never did it!) 

20 Years ago, Hibari, encountered that Christmas was prohibited because of WWII. They weren't allowed to see White Christmas back in 1955 (the year it came out in other countries) because of the banning. Why? They had an ordinary boring day? Hibari, ended up trying to pull things through.

In the Edo period, Kume, was a geisha, and during the 18th century (yep, Kume is from the 18th century), Japan wasn't allowed to celebrate Christmas.

In the Muromachi Period, Himme lived in the Yamaguchi area rather than the city of Tokyo. She got to play the Shamisen.

During the Meji Restoration, Fumi is a biwa player. She played lullabies to children across the city one Night during the Christmas period. 

Nowadays, Miwa (my sister), Tomonori (my brother) and I Are being watched over by Karolina.
