On November 14, actress/singer Sakai Noriko made a live appearance on Tokyo MX TV's '5-ji ni Muchuu!'. According to Sakai's official website, this marked her first TV appearance since making her comeback to the entertainment industry.�

When asked if she's ever lip-synched during her idol days, Sakai confessed, "I've done it before." With her popularity overseas, there were times when she had to sing in Chinese, "I've been told to lip-sync so I don't make any mistakes."�

Sakai claimed that she's never had to lip-sync on Japanese music programs. "I sang while sweating a lot under my nose," she reflected. She was also asked by the show's regular guest�Mitz Mangrove if she still remembers sign language. To her request, she sang the hook to her hit song "Aoi Usagi" while using sign language.�
