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.

人にまかせて僕らは行こう
人にまかせた人生だから
何を言う何も言うな
今夜の月もきれいだね
人の言葉でそのまま来たら
とても疲れて身体に悪い
当たり前当たり前だ
それでも月は見ないとね

夜のとばりの香りが何て素敵
雁が飛び行く眺めに月ひとしずく
人にまかせて僕らは行こう
人にまかせた人生だから
何を言う何も言うな
今夜の月もきれいだね

人の心は移りが早い
浮かれていたらバカをみるけど
気にしない気にはならない
今夜の月もきれいだね
夜に寄り添う気分は何て素敵
夜風に雲が流れて月ひとしずく
人にまかせて僕らは行こう
人にまかせた人生だから
何を言う何も言うな
今夜の月もきれいだね
夜のとばりの香りが何て素敵
雁が飛び行く眺めに月ひとしずく
人にまかせて僕らは行こう
人にまかせた人生だから
何を言う何も言うな

今夜の月もきれいだね...
きれいだね...きれいだね...
