Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources.She was one of the most popular singers in 1980s Japan.Nakamori made her debut on May 1, 1982 at age 16 with the single Slow Motion.Her mature and rebellious image was to be the direct opposite of the other pop rival, Seiko; who projected a girl next door, sweet natured charm.During that period, Akina has always expressed an admiration and respect for Seiko, even humming to Seiko's songs when both happen to be on the same live shows.In actuality, when one watches Akina during live game shows and interviews, she's always smiling and seem cheerful of nature.Perhaps therein lies her attraction; polar opposites that intrigue the viewers.Masahiko Kondo's apartment, after he called off their engagement.She retreated from the public eye for a while.According to the Oricon Charts, she is one of a handful of singers who manage to have albums in the Top 10 in the 80's, 90's and 2000's; proving her resilience to the taste changing music industry.Akina has ventured into acting in the last decade, with varying success.One might say that Akina the singer is mesmerizing, while Akina the actress is competent.Regardless of her lack of prolific songs in recent years, Akina was honoured by the Japanese Music critics as the '5th' best voice in the country's recording history, even ahead of her rival, Matsuda Seiko, at '7th' place.Akina Nakamori's first single Slow Motion, was recorded in Los Angeles.This was release on 1 May 1982 and subsequently sold 174,000 copies, reaching number 30 in the charts.In addition to the single releases, Akina also released two albums entitled Prologue and Variation that year, which sold 453,000 and 743,000 copies respectively.All three aforementioned albums, "Fantsay", "New Akina Etranger" and "Best Akina Memoir" hit the No.In 1984, Akina released Kita WING, which sold 614,000 copies, a bit better than her singles from the previous year, but surprisingly it did not become a number 1 hit."Kita Wing" is also rumoured to be Momoe Yamaguchi's favourite Akina Song (Momoe being Akina's idol and icon).Her next single Southern Wind brought her back to the number 1 spot, though it sold less than its predecessor at 544,000 copies.The 9th single, "Kazalijya nainoyo namida wa" proved to be a turning point in Akina Nakamori's career; as the song is considered difficult to sing with super fast lyrics.Akina the Japan Record Taisho Grand Prix award.She became the youngest person at the time (20) to be awarded such an honor."Akaiatori Nigeta fly away" was released as a 12 inch single instead, making the No.Babylon which was remixed, it sold a dismal 354,000 overall.Her next single, Solitude also debuted at number 1, but sold merely 336,000 copies.She also released two albums in 1985.Firstly, Bitter and Sweet, which contained the album version of the earlier hit of Kazari Janai No Yo Namida Wa and "BABYLON".It sold 556,000 copies and debuted at number 1 again.Yet this album sold an impressive 651,000 copies and debuted at number 1.In 1986, at 21, Akina matured in her singing style and choice of songs.This was also the theme song of PIONEER PRIVATE commercial, and was awarded Japan Record Taisho Grand Prix in 1986.The single Fin followed, sold less than it predecessor, at 318,000 copies.To commemorate her first 4 years in the business, Akina released her first BEST album.Then Akina released Fushigi, a conceptual album with echoing singing and obscure musical arrangemnt.It caused quite a stir amongst the mainly conservative Japanese public and thus sold 464,000 copies, nearly 200,000 less than Crimson, which featured an entire album composed by only women, which sold 601,000 copies.But both managed to debut at the number 1 spot, Fushigi stayed number 1 for only 3 weeks, while Crimson stayed number 1 for 4.In 1987, she released Tango Noir , which sold 348,000 copies and debuted at number 1 (Even though sales of singles were declining, Tango Noir still made it to the 2nd best selling single in 1987).Her next single was a cover of an American song, but she called her version Blonde.It sold 431,000 copies and debuted at number 1.She released only one album in 1987, an unsuccessful English debut album called Cross My Palm.English and lack of promotion Stateside.Nonetheless, it was a hit in Japan, selling 343,000 copies and debuting number 1.Akina, only one single released due to an almost tragedy."Liar" became her 19th No.She attempted suicide shortly within a couple of months after the single was released.Her return to the music scene in 1990 was met with skepticism and curiosity, propelling the single "Dear Friend" to another No.Akina once claimed that "Dear Friend' is perhaps her only happy song.Nevertheless, she reverted to seeing melancholic, jilted love songs that ultimately, did not go well with the public's taste.The whole decade proved to be a hit or miss musical era for Akina, who somewhat lost her definitive direction in her style of music.Currently Akina holds the 4th most No.MAUJ (Bara Hitoyo)

One of THE idol singers in Japanese pop music.Akina built
a formidable arsenal of hits unequaled by anybody except maybe
her rival, Seiko.While most of the other idols of her time were projecting a cutesy image,
Akina went for a more mature style (she took her cue from Yamaguchi Momoe,
who in turn took the mature bit from Misora Hibari), both in her look and her music.She specialized in torch songs, mostly sad ballads of lost love.Nobody sang a tearjerker like Akina.This song could only be fully appreciated when Akina performed it live.Definitely one of my fave Akina songs.Like many before her, including Seiko Matsuda, Akina tried
to break the American pop market with an all english album "Cross
My Palm" which was ignored by the ignorant Americans.But Akina did enjoy some popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan.Extremely beautiful and sexy, Akina also made numerous movies
and appeared in many TV shows.Akina single or album in
