I was able to find this webpage via a Yahoo Japan search, and it provides quite a bit of information about Yasuko Endo herself. Its pretty easy to understand when translated to English through google too ameblo.jp/charisma-cyborg/entry-12361507387.html

Also, I happened to come across a lot of results when searcing Japan's equivalent to Yahoo Answers. Its mostly discussion about her death, but there may be something hidden in here. I don't have time to look through all the results at the moment, so I will leave the link here in case anyone is able to help out! chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=%E9%81%A0%E8%97%A4%E5%BA%B7%E5%AD%90&type=tag

Hi there! Just another quick update (try to do one every month to kinda bump the post and see if any new people wanna help with the search) regarding my own efforts with this search!
I'm actually working on a video on my Youtube Channel about Japanese lost media and will be featuring this piece to shed light on it within the community. Youtube exposure has definitely boosted searches for previous cases and even helped to solve some more mysterious pieces, like the Pink Morning Cartoon.
So, look out for the video within the next two to three weeks My youtube channel is Sakura Stardust, and I'll post a link once the actual video is out!

Hey everyone! I haven't had a chance to log in in a while but thanks so much for your interest!! I was able to find a translator and actually just sent an email to Tetsuo Sakurai to see if he can possibly provide any helpful info.
I never knew that! I just figured it was best to get the search out on as many platforms as possible.
I didn't either, but Im glad theres another article out to inform people and such. There are a few articles on the Fandom wiki that dont exist here (such as the lost Minna no Uta videos and some Pokemon episodes)
Hey there! As someone who got into Sukeban Deka recently I ended up learning all about Yasuko Endo, and immediately wondered if her debut single ever saw the light of day and after searching came across this thread. It's so cool to see people trying to find this lost piece of media, and I really hope we get some kind of update in the future even if it sadly doesn't end up being found.
Endo is mentioned along with many other Japanese young people that committed suicide. Some were idols and there seemed to be a sad domino effect called "Yukiko Syndrome", named after the idol Yukiko Okada, which is when devastated fans of an idol that committed suicide would also attempt it, sometimes going to the same rooftop or location that their idol was. It's incredibly sad to me and as I have experienced the aftermath of when a loved one commits suicide my heart goes out to Endo's family and all of the families that have experienced such a loss.
