Although the Japan Today article (the URL link not working as of 9 June 2019) said Hibari Misora as her influence, this was likely by mistake. Ishikawa herself publicly stated on various occasions that going to a concert by Chiyoko Shimakura in her childhood determined her career as a professional singer. For example, see Ishikawa's interview appearing in "Ms Wendy" (「歌一筋35年、2000曲。歌うことが私の役目だと思っています」https://www.wendy-net.com/nw/person/216.html), viewed 9 June 2019. Ishikawa mentioned this again when she read the obituary at Shimakura's funeral representing the singers' society, Sponichi Annex, 14 November 2013 (石川さゆり涙の弔辞全文「心が砕けるようなことをたくさん耐えて...」 https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2013/11/14/kiji/K20131114007010050.html ), viewed 9 June 2019. See also the note in Ishikawa's official website dated 25 March 2015 (私のデビュー記念日 http://www.ishikawasayuri.com/diary/2015/03/post_265.html ), viewed 9 June 2019. Shimakura was an honorary guest to Ishikawa's first full length recital as recorded in her first live album "Sayuri Ishikawa Show -Hana Hiraku Jyu-hassai" (石川さゆりショー～花ひらく18才, Nippon Columbia AZ 7036-7). In 1987, Ishikawa released her 47th single "Naniwa Shimai" (浪花姉妹) in which she sang a duet with Shimakura.
