Tokyo New Youth
No one knows Japan better than we do
Recently, iQiyi's 101-style talent show "Youth with You 2" is almost all over the Internet, and everyone is either chasing the update with a sense of truth, or every time it is broadcast, it will be swiped... I believe that many people have also noticed that there is a trainee from Japan in the program - Nanaho!
There are not many Japanese artists who have developed in the Chinese mainland, and the beautiful sister Nanaho is remembered by everyone when the show was first broadcast with the characteristics of Japanese girls and the Chinese that is not fluent
Sweet songs, guitar singing, kindness and hard work, cute foodies, Chinese rap... Qisui not only looks online, business ability to meet the standard, but also lively personality and hard work to learn Chinese looks are also very fanatic, what kind of charm does she have, and why did she come to China to participate in the talent show?
Nanagaki Nanaho (いながき ななほ) is a Virgo girl from 1998 who graduated from Japan Women's University majoring in human sociology, and her vocal studies were completed at the music school VOICE, and singers such as Reo, Ayaka, and YUI were also from this music school.
Her firm, Second Culture, a Chinese-oriented Japanese entertainment company that was just founded last year, has offices in Tokyo and Beijing, and has business ties to the largest company Avex.
Last year, Qisui participated in iQiyi's singing variety show "Sing So Beautiful", sang the Chinese-Japanese bilingual version of "Autumn Yinong" for the first time on the stage, and her gentle voice and emotional investment in the song were unanimously recognized by Xie Na, Qi Wei and other star guests
After that, she sang Zhou Huajian's "Friend", Teresa Teng's "Little Rain of Tears" and other famous songs, but unfortunately the results stopped at the top 18, and the popularity of the program was not too high.
This time "Blue You 2", Qisui debuted to change the previous goddess style, sang and danced a song "Inexplicably In Love with You", very Japanese yuanqi girlish feeling, led the audience.
However, at the end, Nanaho broke the tone because he was too nervous, which was real and cute. Her performance on the show is simple, unadorned and unpretentious, and Ella's mentor says she is like a blank piece of paper.
For a foreigner in Nanaho, the most difficult thing in the show is not singing and dancing, not the sense of variety, but speaking . The time for Qisui to study Chinese was only about half a year.
From the beginning of the show to the present, her Chinese level has really improved a lot. At first, when the words did not go well, Nanaho especially liked to use gestures to draw.
The jerky and difficult to understand Chinese lyrics is also a great challenge to Nanaho, she asked the program group and other trainees for advice, took notes seriously, and often stayed in the practice room until late.
Her efforts were also seen by other trainees, and everyone admired her.
After several months of hard work, Nanaho was not only able to answer the interview like a stream, but even took the initiative to choose the deputy rap of the song "MAMA" and sang Chinese rap perfectly!
Nanaho also has a very powder-absorbing attribute, that is, foodie ~ she brought a lot of Japanese snacks when recording "So Sing Beautiful".
The scene of crying and eating salad in "Blue You 2" is still fresh in people's minds.
"Eating enough every day" is important enough to be included in the wish list.
In terms of personality, Nanaho is very understanding and often cares about others. When her teammates are sad, Nanaho tries to comfort her with imperfect Chinese.
Even I cried.
Nanaho did not explicitly say why he chose to develop in China, perhaps the short life in China as a child was an opportunity.
But her goal is very clear, that is, to challenge herself through various ways, to become a singer and dancer, and to learn Chinese.
In the show, she is moving closer to the goal step by step. From the first stage of the broken sound, to the "Want to See You Want to See You Want to See You Want to See You" with her teammates, her eyes are more and more determined, and her action expression is more and more mature.
Recently, Nanaho also released a single "Never Let You Go!" in Japan. It is the theme song of the April shin-fan anime "Ball Song", or a collaboration with the famous anime songwriter Maeda Jun.
In addition, she has been posting cover songs and Vlog videos on YouTube for a long time, and the video of Yonezu Genshi's "LOSER" has been played more than 10 million times!
To know that the lyrics of "LOSER" are extremely fast-paced, and it also requires a lot of transposition and tongue sliding skills, it can be seen that Nanaho's singing strength is stronger than that shown in the show.
vlog is a fashion blockbuster style, and the appearance of Nanaho is too capable of playing!
Unfortunately, in the stage of "Green You 2" ranking 60 into 35, Nanaho was eliminated and did not qualify for the next stage. She wrote a sentence in her farewell Weibo: "My dream is to be the first Japanese singer to debut in China first!" ”
Nanaho, who is trying to chase his dreams, is so much to like! I hope she can go on the flower road in the future and continue to sparkle~
