Hiromi Go
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hiromi Go (郷ひろみ Gō Hiromi, real name: Hiromi Haratake (原武裕美 Haratake Hiromi) born on October 18, 1955 in Sue, Kasuya, Fukuoka Prefecture -) is a Japanese singer. He also effectively became the Japanese answer to Ricky Martin after his Japanese version of "Bailamos".
In 1970's, he was called "new big three" (新御三家 shin gosanke) with Goro Noguchi and Hideki Saijo.
His stage name's initials are HG, and that, combined with his remake of Ricky Martin's "Livin La Vida Loca" made him a direct target of comedian Hard Gay, who acted as his attendant for the day of a rehearsal for a concert in Nagoya. A promotional video was created by Hard Gay, which consisted of his antics on the show. Instead of getting angry at the comedian, Go took it with stride and even played along with the tricks, which included whipping the leather-clad man and dancing with him on stage.
