109 Fresh Nostalgia: A Chat with Xiaoshui on Showa Idols
In the 1980s, after years of economic takeoff, Japan moved toward a bubble economy, and the prosperity of the entertainment industry also gradually reached its peak, with "idols" being a keyword in this context. In the nearly ten years following Yamasaki Momoe's retirement, the industry's passion for idols was completely ignited, forming a brilliant era of idols that reshaped the entertainment circles of Japan and even all of East Asia. More than thirty years later, the influence of Showa idols has not only failed to dissipate but has been cherished, discovered, and even reinterpreted by many young people who did not experience that golden age. In this episode, we invite Xiaoshui again to have a casual chat about 1980s Showa idols, starting from a magazine and a performance she organized.

109 新鲜的怀旧：与小水漫谈昭和偶像
1980年代，日本在多年的经济腾飞后走向泡沫经济，娱乐业的繁荣也逐渐走向顶峰，“偶像”则是其中的关键词。山口百惠引退后的近十年，整个产业对于偶像的热情被彻底点燃，形成了群星璀璨的偶像盛世，重塑了日本乃至整个东亚的娱乐圈。 三十余年过去，昭和偶像的影响力不仅没有消散，而且被许多并未经历那段盛世的年轻人怀念、发掘，乃至重新演绎。本期节目，我们再次邀请小水，从一本杂志和她组织的一场演出开始，漫谈1980年代的昭和偶像。
