As the saying goes, scarcity is precious. For some people who can't be seen often, some people who always have a sense of mystery, and some people who have talents that others don't have, they always seem precious and can't be put down.
For the Japanese, the name Sakai Spring Water is a precious representation. Not only because she has a delicate singing voice that others don't have, but also because she is always unpredictable. In his short life, he wrote many classics, but left endless regrets.
A generation of legendary singers
but only made 7 public appearances
Sakai Izumizu, whose real name is Sachiko Kamaike, is a legendary Japanese singer who has been very fond of rock music since she was a child, and was discovered by talent scouts at 21, and then worked as a model for several years. Later, Sachiko Kamaike won the attention of the famous music production company Being because of her participation in a singing competition, signed her, and officially became a singer, and since then she has been active under the stage name of Sakai Izumizu, and has joined the rock band ZARD as the lead singer.
Sakai Izumi has a delicate appearance full of fairy energy, coupled with strong musical talent, which makes her popular with the outside world. Despite this, Sakai Izumi has always been very shy, introverted and slow-burning, she can be said to suffer from camera phobia, and she is very scared and uncomfortable with public performances or taking pictures, so she has only appeared in public 7 times since her debut.
Most of the photos she takes are either sideways facing the camera, or the photographer sneaks into the studio and captures them when she is not looking.
Sang many classics
One of the most representative singers of the 90s
Although it is difficult to imagine how such a shy person can gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, after listening to her music, you can probably find out.
Sakai Izumizu has sung many popular works, including the debut song "Good-bye My Loneliness", the ending song "My Friend" of "Slam Dunk", the first place in the favorite cheering song "Don't admit defeat" in Japan, the classic commercial song "Swinging Missing" by Pocari Water, the theme song "Turn the Key to Destiny" of Detective Conan, and the ending song "Don't you see!" of Dragon Ball GT All of them were very popular with the Japanese people, and established Sakai Izumisui as one of the most representative singers of the 90s.
Among them, there is even a rumor that Sakai Spring Water is the creative prototype of Haruko Akagi, the protagonist of "Slam Dunk", although there is no official affirmation of the statement, but Haruko Akagi's purity and kindness are indeed very much the shadow of Sakai Spring Water.
Life was frozen at the age of 40
She is still a favorite singer in Japan

However, the heavens are always jealous of talented people. Sakai Izumi, who has always been in poor health, has had many problems in his body since 2000, including uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, etc., and was even diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2006, which later spread to the lungs.
One day, Sakai Izumisui, who was staying in the hospital, was about to return to the ward when he accidentally fell down the stairs, causing a severe brain injury, and finally passed away, ending a short 40-year life.
