January 19, 1983 The same birthday is shared by writer/poet Edgar Allan Poe, with whom I fell in love during my junior-high years; Ogai Mori, one of Japan's literary geniuses; cute Udo Suzuki-san; and even cuter Rika Ishikawa-chan. My Toshiba EMI senior Yuming, Makoto Kawamoto were also born on this day. It's a singer/songwriter birthday!
