Popularly known as Kyon-kyon, Koizumi made her breakthrough on the TV audition show Staa Tanjou (A Star is Born) in 1981 and her debut followed the next year. The usual string of slickly packaged pop singles, albums, TV dramas and movies followed. She first appeared on the annual New Year's Eve extravaganza Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red-White Song Battle) in 1984, just a week after her movie debut. In 1987, she won the award for the best-selling single in Japan. She was cast quite out of character as the villain in 1997's hit movie Odoru Daisosasen (Bayside Shakedown), which starred Oda Yuji.
Kyoko is one of the few idols from the early '80s to have survived with her image and popular appeal intact. She became less active in her acting career following her marriage to popular actor Nagase Masatoshi in 1995 (she met Nagase when he was taking photos for the magazine AnAn, to which she contributes). But she remained in the public eye through regular TV commercial appearances. While she's old enough to play the stereotypical CM mother, her image remains that of the perky girl next door. Her divorce from Nagase came in early 2004, around the time that she was receiving a lot of offers to get back into acting more. This difficulty in combining marriage and work seems to be a real hurdle for many women in Japanese show business and one of the two usually has to suffer.

小泉今日子 Lyrics
Dream Recorder ある日、僕は 地下鉄の中で眠ってた。 ガタン、ゴトン、ガタン、 線路のリズム、催眠術だ。 僕が降りるはずの駅は、 とっく…

僕の部屋の窓 僕の部屋の窓には 太陽が来ないから 机のスタンドだけで 小説読んでた 僕は憶病だから 太陽が怖いから ぼんやりと月が照ら…
大事な気持ち 今は午前2時、窓には三角 チョコレートケーキみたいな空。 今頃あなたは遠く、 ロシアよりもっともっと遠く、 きっと白夜。…
赤い金魚 あの娘が家に来て、 僕のこと見てる。 魚眼レンズに映るとき僕は、 きっと変な顔。 それでも、あの娘は、 真っ赤な尾っぽを…
部屋に帰ろう ～When I die 風が強いから部屋に帰ろうよ 風邪ひくよ 雨が降って来た部屋に帰ろうよ 諦めよう 奇跡は簡単に起きない 予言はあてにならな…
