Life is not satisfactory, no matter who is likely to encounter the test of life at the peak, the important thing is how we get back on our feet in frustration. The best example of this is the Japanese female singer Mika Nakajima, who suddenly announced that she was deaf at the peak of her singing career, which dealt a great blow to her as a singer, and then experienced the end of her marriage, but she never gave up, and her inspirational life story even brought strength to many people.
Mika Nakajima's personal introduction
Aspired to become a singer from a model
Mika Nakajima originally debuted as a model and actively participated in auditions for plays, saying that "since she was a child, she was very inferior to her voice, hated to speak in front of everyone, did not dare to speak in school, and did not sing much in music class." However, the composer Hama Yoshiichi encouraged her to sing after hearing her voice, so Nakajima aspired to become a singer and took the initiative to send an audition tape to the record company.
Across the world of music and theater
Mika Nakajima's first single after becoming a singer was a big hit, and she was a completely hot monster newcomer at the time, and then she sang a number of famous songs, with a hoarse and powerful voice and a variety of musical styles, which made her have a unique position in the music world. In addition, Nakajima has also been active in the theater circle, and her interpretation of "NANA" is still regarded as the best live-action version that cannot be replaced.

Snow Hua
I believe that everyone must have heard this song "Snow の华", because it has been covered by too many people! Not only has it been covered in Chinese, Korean and English, but the Korean version has become the theme song of the well-known Korean drama "Sorry, I Love You", making this song more widely known. This song is definitely one of the classic masterpieces that Mika Nakajima must hear!
I used to think about it a hundred times
With the concept that "in order to describe a strong hope, it is necessary to first describe the deep darkness", the song begins with a dark atmosphere that constantly describes the idea of seeking death, and finally brings out the motivation and hope to live. Just like Mika Nakajima, who has fallen to the bottom due to illness, she can get back up with love and hope for the stage, so she sings particularly convincingly, and the only one who can perfectly interpret this song is probably Mika Nakajima!

Dark moments of life
Just as Mika Nakajima's career on the tenth anniversary of her debut was in full swing, she suffered from "open earpharyngeal canal disease", a symptom that can cause patients to have normal tinnitus, unable to clearly distinguish the sounds of the outside world, and it is conceivable how much of a blow this will be to a singer. For this reason, Nakajima continued to practice singing until her vocal cords were damaged, and finally she had to leave the stage for Treatment in New York, and afterwards she admitted that she was hesitant to retire at that time.
The determination to return to the stage
Although she had thought about escaping, in the end, in the process of treatment, Nakajima Mika gradually picked up the determination to return to the stage, returning when her ears were not completely healed, and felt the vibration of the music by stepping on the beat with her feet and touching the speaker, even if she looked very clumsy, she still tried very hard to return to the past singing standards. Since then, her song style has also changed, with the theme of "living with pain", and is committed to creating an occasion in the concert where adults can calmly release sadness and tears, and heal each other with fans.

Socializing and getting married
Nakajima Mika's ex-husband is Japanese volleyball player Kunihiro Shimizu, it is said that Nakajima fell in love with him at first sight, and there was a Japanese show with the picture of the first meeting between the two, only to see Nakajima, who was usually domineering on the stage, as soon as he saw the object of his choice, he was immediately shy like a girl, took the initiative to hand out a note with a phone number written on it, and also told him to throw it away if he didn't like it. The two began dating in the summer of 2012 and married on December 25, 2014.
Reasons for divorce
On February 3, 2018, Kunihiro Shimizu suddenly posted on Twitter the news of his divorce from Mika Nakajima, explaining that he was mostly training in Osaka and Nakajima was focused on Tokyo, and the two gathered less and more, so they thought that it was the best decision for each other to go in their respective directions separately. In addition, in January 2022, Shimizu Kunihiro announced his remarriage on Twitter for women outside the circle.
