Under the blue sky, the starry sky will not lose its brilliance due to the absence of a star. On October 8, the Japanese "star" that has shone for generations in the Chinese music industry, Mr. Shinji Tanimura, finally came to an end and rested in his 74-year-old life.
For many Chinese music lovers, he is not an unfamiliar name, but more like a close relative, with our growth and warmth of our hearts.
This master, known as a national treasure in the Japanese music scene, has an indissoluble relationship with China.
Do you remember the song "Star" that was sung by Chinese music superstars such as Leslie Cheung, Teresa Teresa, and Jacky Cheung? That song, the original song is from Shinji Tanimura.
He is such an artist, who has quietly contributed great strength to the Chinese music scene and become a bridge for the exchange of music culture between China and Japan.
The combination of Mr. Tanimura's music and the Chinese music scene has given us countless unforgettable moments.
Those classic Chinese songs that we are familiar with, Anita Mui's "Walk My Way Alone", the original song is "This Is My Trial" by Tanimura;
Kwok Fucheng's "Dream of You Coming Back" and Chen Huixian's "Forget Sadness" all have the shadow of Shinji Tanimura behind them.
This blend proves that music transcends language, culture and national boundaries, and has the power to connect the hearts of thousands of people.
What's even more remarkable is that Mr. Tanimura's works are more than just songs. He is an artist who can use music as a bridge to promote cultural exchanges between China and Japan.
He believes that music knows no borders, and this firm belief has driven him to visit China many times to help the cause of Sino-Japanese friendship with his music.
Mr. Shinji Tanimura once said kindly, "China is my hometown in my past life." Since he first stepped onto the Chinese stage in 1981, he has forged a deep bond with this ancient land.
Whenever his melody sounds, it seems to have a touch of oriental atmosphere, which makes people can't help but fall into that tenderness and longing.
I have to mention Mr. Tanimura's wonderful performance at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
As an ambassador for Japan's promotion, he personally sang the famous song "Star", which now seems to have become a symbol of Sino-Japanese friendship, surging with the deep feelings of the two peoples.
Every time that familiar melody sounds, it seems to make us return to that touching moment again.
In 2018, the 40th anniversary of the conclusion of the China-Japan Treaty of Peace and Friendship, Tanimura did not choose to spend his days in the comfort of his home, but once again set foot on this familiar and unfamiliar land.
The "38 Years of Stars" tour held in Beijing became a major musical event of that year, leaving an unforgettable page for Sino-Japanese friendship.
What is even more rare is that Mr. Shinji Tanimura does not stop at the field of music.
In the face of the earthquake disaster suffered by China, he did not hesitate to extend a helping hand to the Chinese people, showing his great love and humanitarian spirit.
Such a kind act has strengthened the love and respect of the Chinese people for him.
Recalling Mr. Shinji Tanimura's collaborations with superstars in the Chinese music scene, such as Alan Tam, Jacky Cheung, Leslie Cheung, etc., every time is a musical carnival.
The moment they performed on the same stage, it seemed to make time stand still, leaving only the beautiful melody and singing.
He also brought Alan, who had traveled to Japan to develop.
And when Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said at the press conference: "Sri Lankan people have passed away, but the style has endured", we can feel the important position of this artist in Sino-Japanese relations.
He was not only a musician, but also a messenger, using music to shorten the distance between the Chinese and Japanese peoples.
He was such a great artist, loved and respected by people. As many netizens said: "Great singer, go all the way." ”
At this special moment, we would like to remember this great artist in a special way - let us once again quietly listen to the song "Star" that grew up with us.
Let that good memory echo in our hearts again.
Finally, I would like to say to this music master who has left us: Mr. Shinji Tanimura, your music is like a star, although the star has fallen, but the shining light will always be in our hearts.
You have built a bridge with music that connects the hearts of the Chinese and Japanese people.
I hope that in another world, you can continue to use your music to bring warmth and joy to the creatures of heaven.
