Warabe (わらべ) was a J-pop musical trio active between 1982 and 1985.
History of the band
The group was established as part of the Net TV's variety show Kinchan no Doko Made Yaru no? [jp] hosted by Kinichi Hagimoto.[1] The group consisted of Atsumi Kurasawa, Tomoko Takabe and Mami Takahashi and made the first appearance in the show in September 1982.[2]
In June 1983, the weekly magazine Focus published a photograph of Tomoko Takabe allegedly smoking on her bed. Following the incident she was suspended, and took part in the program on the phone expressing her remorse and singing " Medaka no Kyôdai"; her segment of the show recorded a massive 42 percent share of viewers.[3] She was supposed to return but two months later the Takabe's ex-boyfriend who had provided the photo to the magazine committed suicide, and she decided to withdraw from the program and from the group.[3] The two remaining members eventually disbanded the group in 1985. Warabe's major hit was the song ""Moshimo Ashita ga..." which topped the Oricon Singles Chart for six weeks.[4]
