Features: Shiue is the half-sister of the first female singer after World War II in Japan, Akiko. Her intense jealousy led her down a wrong path. She not only spent all of Akiko's money but also drove a wedge between Akiko and her husband. In the end, Akiko died of alcohol poisoning at home, and Shiue was also imprisoned. In the book, Akiko's prototype is the famous Japanese singer Keiko Kitagawa, who is also the only wife in the life of Toshiro Mifune.
