I was just watching Ash's battle against Gardenia a week or two ago. It was in English though, but still. I also remember her as the voice of Tellu in Sailor Moon S. Rest in peace Chieko.

Rest in peace. You had such a wonderful voice that will be remembered. Though, Meroko came to my mind before Gardenia...

She was too young to leave us really. This is so sad. May she rest well.
