Nakamori Akina biography, Nakamori Akina discography
Japanese pop singer and actress born on 13 July 1965 in Kiyose, Tokyo, Japan.She was one of the most popular singers in 1980s Japan.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.Music wise, her recording company molded her to be a successor after the mature and sophisticated Momoe Yamaguchi, a legendary Japanese singer who retired at age 21 for marriage.Her songs were always of heartbreaks, or rebellion, never to stray far from the 'mold'.In actuality, when one watches Akina during live game shows and interviews, she's always smiling and seem cheerful of nature.Masahiko Kondo's apartment, after he called off their engagement.She retreated from the public eye for a while.Her career since her suicide attempt has been mediocre at best, and she has never regained the popularity she experienced in the 1980s.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.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.This was release on 1 May 1982 and subsequently sold 174,000 copies, reaching number 30 in the charts.It sold an impressive 766,000 copies back then (To date, almost close to 1 million sold).All three aforementioned albums, "Fantsay", "New Akina Etranger" and "Best Akina Memoir" hit the No.It instead debuted at number 2 and remained at that position for 6 weeks."Kita Wing" is also rumoured to be Momoe Yamaguchi's favourite Akina Song (Momoe being Akina's idol and icon).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.It debuted at number 1 and sold 625,000 copies.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.Her next single, Solitude also debuted at number 1, but sold merely 336,000 copies.She also released two albums in 1985.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.She became the youngest winner for two consecutive years.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.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 301,000 copies and added to her No.Her most critically acclaimed single of that year was a heartfelt ballad called Nanpasen an emotionally draining song which many people attributed to her rocky relationship with then boyfriend, Masahiko Kondo and the death of her mother at the time.She released only one album in 1987, an unsuccessful English debut album called Cross My Palm.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.This page was last modified on 19 February 2008, at 15:47.All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.Nakamori Akina
One of THE idol singers in Japanese pop music.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.Nobody sang a tearjerker like Akina.But she could also tear it up with a hot number like "Tattoo".She takes you back to the forties in her Rita Hayworth style outfit
and retro microphone.But Akina did enjoy some popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan.And since her singles always topped
the charts, she performed on lots of music shows on TV like "Uta
no Top Ten" and "Music Station".This flyer was from Akina's shop in Harajuku "Akina
Beside".Fans who bought the new album at HMV Shinsaibashi store will have the chance to attend the event.Akina appeared in TOKYO FM radio show on 3 June 2006 (15:00hrs) and she talked about her current drama, PRIMADAM, coming album Destination and tour which will start soon mid June 2006.Uno Kanda is also one of the cast in the current drama PRIMADAM where Akina played the role of a retired prima ballerina.Akina commented that she was happy to have Kanda participating in her new PV and she hoped to see Kanda dancing like flower (which is also the meaning of Hana yo Odore).One of the major providers for pachinko, Daiichi Shokai will launch a new pachinko machine called CR Nakamori Akina Utahime Densetsu end of June.The organizer will hold an exhibition on the above to arouse audience's awareness at Tokyo Dome Hotel on 15 May 2006 (Mon) where Akina will also hold 2 shows there.Akina Nakamori Mini Live
