Iwasaki Hiromi, Cinderella Honeymoon and.....Croket

Croket (real name: Takigawa Hiroshi, born: March 13, 1960) is a comedian specialized in impersonation. He has done impersonation since 1985 and he is said to have impersonated about 500 celebrities. He can mimic many different singers, but one of his main "target" is always Iwasaki Hiromi with her "Cinderella Honeymoon" song.

^ (5:20) Croket had fun impersonating Hiromi until the real Hiromi came out. In 2:38, he also impersonated Sakurada Junko singing Kimagure Venus (compared it to the real version, look at Junko face expression when she sang that song)

^ Croket and Hiromi hosted the show together. They sang this song at 6:32.

^ only for the real Hiromi to give him a surprise visit and brought him flower to congratulate his 35th anniversary

^ (4:32), even in 2022, he still impersonated Hiromi singing this song

^ even instructed others how to impersonate Iwasaki Hiromi, May 2023

At one point Iwasaki Hiromi almost retired this song. When she sang this song in a serious concert, once the intro was playing, she heard laughter from the audience even though that was not comedy, so she said "I'll just give this song to Croket". But years later, she doesn't mind it anymore and even thanked Croket for promoting her song to younger generation. They even sing this song together sometimes.
