		Jeff Altman made a comment recently, blaming the whole fiasco on the Pink Lady chicks, I think as much, if not more, of the blame should be on him.

	NOTES from me
		But the company that owned the Pink Lady act was quite insistent that the name of the show be Pink Lady and no Jeff.
		Finally, someone high up at NBC — it may have been Fred Silverman — went to the lawyers for the Pink Lady company and said, "We must have Jeff Altman's name in the title of the show." The lawyers came back and said, okay, fine.
		Everyone finally gave in and the title became Pink Lady, with the "and Jeff" used unofficially and with occasional threats of legal action.

		They were then recruited to star on a TV comedy/variety show to gain exposure in the US, but what resulted was a disaster called "Pink Lady and Jeff." It was so bad (through no fault of the girls) that it was yanked off the air after a few episodes.
		Consequently, while Pink Lady were busy trying to break the US market, their lack of exposure back in Japan led to their fall in popularity in their own homeland, and when they returned, it was all but over.
		Jeff is the foremost authority on Pink Lady outside of Japan.

		Nemoto often says that Pink Lady were "characters"; when I asked her if she thought of Mii-chan and Nemoto Mitsuyo as separate people, she thought for a second.
		They were nearly the same person, and I could say I was Kei-chan of Pink Lady, but if I didn't have Masuda Keiko nearby, I'd go crazy!" Under the pressure of constant performances and the high expectations of their fans, she continues, "it became terrifying to appear on stage.
		Pink Lady's incredible success--which included nine straight number one singles--brought with it the two-edged sword of fame: it's great to be loved by millions, but it becomes a pain in the neck when you're out on a date.

		At the end of 1978 Pink Lady was cast in controversy over which TV show they would appear in; the year end standard NHK program “Kohaku Uta Gassen” or their own TV special, and the fall-out from this some mark as the beginning of their decline.

		Jeff Altman was a standup comedian who served as host of the show, and appeared in comedy skits.
		How it ever made it to air is completely beyond me. Pink Lady are not even that talented as singers (even in their native Japan, their vogue as disco stars was brief), and they seem incapable of lip-syncing to their phonetically-learned song lyrics.
		Jeff Altman wasn't as unfunny as people say, I thought they guy had a few funny sketches, the problem was, awful writing.

		The rest of the hour was a pleasant blur: watching the girls banter with Jeff (Mie flattered him while Kei put him down) as they played the role of naive newcomers to America, cheerfully chirping "Yes!" whenever they understood something, then meekly saying "No!" seconds later when it turned out they didn't.
		And their memories of seeing the Ladies on TV here were just as fond and as lasting as my own.
		Yet, to us, Pink Lady and Jeff holds a very special place in our hearts, because we got to see our Japanese dream queens giving their all for us.

		It was one of the few funny things I can remember, but they did that every week and it got old fast.
