Timeline
Sonoko Kawai (河合その子), married name Sonoko Gotō (後藤その子) is a former Japanese singer.
She was originally member number 12 of Onyanko Club.
Kawai was born and raised in Chita, Aichi.
She attended high school at Nihon Fukushi University Affiliated High School (日本福祉大学付属高等学校).
She first entered the entertainment business in 1983 after winning second place in CBS Sony's Teens Pop Contest.
However, her activities with the label were few, and after graduating high school, she continued her studies at a computer-oriented vocational school.
In 1985, she auditioned for Onyanko Club in their show Yūyake Nyan Nyan("Sunset Meow Meow") (夕やけニャンニャン), and was chosen to be a part of the group.
Nicknamed the "eternally young girl" (永遠の少女), she immediately gained great popularity which led to her participation in various dramas such as Sukeban Deka.
She made her solo debut the same year, with the single "Namida no Jasmine LOVE", making her the first Onyanko Club member to launch a solo career.
Her first album followed a few months later.
In 1986, she released "Aoi Stasion", which stayed at the No. 1 place on the Oricon charts for two consecutive weeks, making it Kawai's signature song.
In April, she graduated from Onyanko Club at the Nippon Budōkan venue of their first concert tour and officially became a solo artist.
She would later become one of the hosts of Yūyake Nyan Nyan's sister show, Yūshoku Nyan Nyan("Dinner Meow Meow") (夕食ニャンニャン).
In 1988, she decided to stop making television appearances, opting to promote her newest material on the radio or live events instead.
She also started to work with a varied lineup of producers, showing more maturity in her work, which culminated in her composing four songs on her album Dancin' In The Light, released the following year.
In 1990, she released what would be her final album, Replica, in which all the tracks were composed by Kawai herself.
After the promotional tour for the album, she announced the dissolution of her fanclub and her temporary retirement from music.
In 1994, she married Tsugutoshi Gotō, who had composed a big part of her songs.
She adopted his surname, though she still uses Kawai as her artist name.
After a long absence from the media after her marriage, in the year 2000 she appeared on a single scene of an episode of the television drama Tajū Jinkaku Tantei Psycho (多重人格探偵サイコ).
Ten years later, in 2010, she teamed up with fellow 80s idols Yōko Oginome, Hidemi Ishikawa (石川秀美, ishikawa Hidemi) and Tsukasa Itō (伊藤つかさ, Itō Tsukasa) for a promotional campaign for the cosmetics brand Shiseido.
In a press conference in 2010, it was revealed that she and Gotō have a child.
