She then became the host of the NHK variety show You and starred in the 1983 film Antarctica.

In 1992, Oginome starred in the film The Triple Cross, which earned her the Best Supporting Actress award at the 14th Yokohama Film Festival (shared with Misa Shimizu).[2] She also released the nude photo book Surrender, which was photographed by film director Yoshitaka Kawai before his suicide in 1990.
