Profile

Maiko debuted on an NHK drama titled Kizuna. In 1980, she starred in the 2nd Kinpachi-sensei series. The following year, she released a J-pop single, Byakuya no sedai, as a Japanese idol. She married her junior-high sweetheart in 1996, but was divorced in 2000.

Kawakami is perhaps best known for her role in the 1989 Sesame Street TV special Big Bird in Japan. She was also a guest judge on the Japanese version of Iron Chef. In the tokusatsu series Ultraman Ginga, she portrayed the role of Tomomi Kuroki.

gollark: <@651869752012046347> Yes, technology was a mistake. I'm very unhappy that we have much higher life expectancy, quality of life, have reliable clean water and food, can communicate with people remotely really easily, and have much better entertainment than before the industrial era.
gollark: SQLite is a database, just an embedded one.
gollark: I'm going to look into making Node.js use multiple *processes*, and putting SQLite in WAL mode so that it can do multiple reads at once.
gollark: It's SQLite and the application is Node.js. Both of which are totally single-threaded. Which is probably why.
gollark: I put together this simple search engine thing (https://search.osmarks.tk) as a fun project to try and practice building somewhat complex applications. It seemed to work fine on the test dataset of my website. But then I got bored and decided to have it crawl esolangs.org, and it's about a 14th of the way through after running for maybe an hour (at 1 page crawled/second), queries are running quite slowly, and the lack of pagination is causing problems. I guess this is a lesson in scaling?
