	Modern Japan - Famous Japanese - Yoshimoto Kogyo
		Yoshimoto Kogyo was started in Osaka in 1912 as a yose, a theater that hosts the traditional storytelling known as rakugo.
		His impeccable comic timing and stage presence were mixed with unpredictable off-stage behaviour and excessive drinking that led to his death from cirrhosis of the liver in 1996 at the age of 51.
		Virtually every major Yoshimoto name sang on the record, which played in a series of TV commercials and even spawned its own TV series, featuring the trials of typical "salarymen".

		Shortly after the suit was made public, "Amigo" was dropped like a hot patata by the industry, despite having sold over 10 million records and being in a hitmaking groove with producer du-jour Tetsuya Komuro.

		However, Suzuki retained a large and loyal fan base, and the independent launch of her website in late 2002 reportedly spurred 100,000 accesses in the first two days, proving that plenty of fans were still interested in what she was doing.
