Last week, it was rumored that "Slam Dunk Master", which accompanied many people's childhood, would meet everyone again in the form of a movie, and the original manga author Yuhiko Inoue also tweeted to confirm the news. After netizens knew, they lamented that "living for a long time" and "their youth is coming back".
Obviously we don't know Japanese, but we will hum every song in the anime, and we obviously can't play basketball, but we all know the technical terms that appear in each episode.
Everything about youth, friendship, love, dreams, regrets... In this comic we can always find the most vivid interpretation, perhaps not complete, but full of the most ideal youth dreams.
As a child, we also poured countless passions into this anime, which represents the best memories of our childhood.
Qiu Shuzhen's daughter Yue Yue directly produced a group of heroine "Akagi Haruko" cos blockbusters to miss this god work, this Weibo quickly resonated with netizens, and was quickly praised on the hot search.
Indeed, when the young girl put on the jersey, she had a feeling of youthfulness. Akagi Haruko is like a symbol of first love, she is vividly engraved in everyone's memory like a symbol - now when I think of her, I have another person's face in my mind:
Izumi Sakai, an actor like Haruko Akagi's original work, "Kang takate" and "My Friend".
In Japan, people affectionately call her "sister", and their feelings for her are comparable to our brother Zhang Guorong.
Because of her youthful and pure face, she was once called "the embodiment of Akagi Haruko", and quietly became the dream lover of many teenagers in those years.
Such a seemingly weak sister, but still a generation of talented rock female singers, she is an eternal legend in the music industry, but this life has only appeared in public 7 times, low-key and secret to the bone.
At the same time, the most regrettable thing is that this "beautiful person as clean and clear as spring water" was lost at the age of 40, and can only be left to countless fans to miss and sigh -
It's not just Japanese people who have deep feelings for her, but also many Chinese.
A few days ago, under the tweet of Miss Hiroko Amway Tanaka, there were several comments asking for sakai spring water:
The enthusiastic requests from fans are naturally responsive, and at the same time, I think that she is also a goddess of the 90s, and she is indeed worthy of another fire.
Today, let's go back to the life of Japan's most mysterious legendary goddess of positive energy, Sakai Izumi:
Izumi Sakai was born in Kanagawa Prefecture in 1967, but at the time she was still called Sachiko Kamiike.
When she was in school, Sachiko looked fresh and moving, had an outstanding temperament, and was versatile.
She can paint and write poetry, and literature and art have reached the bone. But at the same time, he is also an all-round sports student, who broke the record of county sprinting in junior high school and joined the school hard tennis team in high school.
At this time, her sister with short hair like a little boy was still a sports girl, and music seemed to be far away from her life, but she was still excellent in the field outside of music, shining.
At the age of 18, Sachiko was shocked by the music after watching the performance of the SADE band, so the idea of "wanting to be a singer" quietly sprouted in her heart.
But becoming a singer, in the decades before the information exchange was not very developed, is more important than its own strength is an opportunity.
Even if you are a jewel, you have to wait until the hands that wipe away the dust for you and pick you up.
The sister waited, but this appreciation began with her appearance, not her musical talent - the second year after graduating from college, Sachiko was discovered by star scouts on the street, debuted as a model, and officially dreamed of the entertainment industry.
During this period, my sister worked as a racing queen for the Fuji Racing Platform, and was even asked to take some more explicit swimsuit photos.
These helpless acts that the brokerage company endured on the grounds of "fame" later became the "black history" of the media to slander her.
In the following years, she ran a dragon set in TV dramas, participated in KTV commercial performances, and even worked as an actress in MVs, how many times she passed by the opportunity to become a singer.
Until 1990, the sister who was obsessed with chasing dreams participated in the harmony audition of the theme band of "Cherry Pills", and the harmony during the audition was retained and heard by the well-known music producer Daiyuki Nagato, and immediately decided to promote her to form a new band ZARD debut and serve as the lead singer -
The sister who became "Sakai Izumi" finally made her official debut in the music world!
"I have always attached great importance to language and lyrics, and I hope that my heart can be passed on to everyone through music."
INTERVIEWER SAKAI Izumi
After his debut, Sakai Izumi has maintained this original intention of making music for decades, using music to transmit energy to everyone.
In 1991, the beginning of the Great Depression, when Japan's bubble economy shattered, the most exciting rock and roll music was needed in this depressed and pessimistic environment.
The 90s were the era of bands in Japan, and bands such as B'Z and X-JAPAN were popular in Japan (with bootlegs, I love Lao Lin!). ）
ZARD also followed the trend of the times, hitched a ride, and the release of the debut EP "good bye my loneliness" lasted for 13 weeks and maintained a good record in the top ten of the public trust chart.
Obviously, the sister who can rely on her appearance has perfectly proved herself with her talent.
In 1992, Sakai Izumi appeared on television for the first time as a singer, and was jokingly played by the host, "Is it because I am sleepy because I record a program in the morning?" ”。
My sister said, "I feel like my eyes can't be opened a little, after all, I go to bed every morning." ”
It turned out that because most of her inspiration was born when the night was hazy, her sister worked upside down every day and night after she became a singer. Day in and day out, she lives a two-point commute between the studio and her home, and enjoys it.
Harm, the former singer stayed up late to create, and now the singer stays up late to multi-person sports.
But the bad habit of staying up late seems to have become a "time bomb" that threatens her health in the future.
In 1993, with the TV series "Miss Ben is Reiko Shiratori!" starring Yasuko Matsuyuki! "" hit, sang the theme song of Sakai Izumi has since embarked on the peak of his career.
The theme song was later incorporated into high school textbooks and was even hailed as "Japan's Second National Anthem" – it was the inspirational song "負けないで" (don't admit defeat).
The brisk melody and positive lyrics are warm and poignant encouragement in despair, infecting everyone to bravely face the ups and downs of life, and becoming one of the favorite songs of the Japanese people.
Many years later, after the great earthquake in Japan, countless radio stations repeatedly demanded the song with the people to regain confidence in the future.
My sister's "Don't Admit Defeat" is just a love song that supports dream lovers on the surface, but inside it is a response song written for the "Great Depression And Suffering Era".
My sister wants to use her singing voice to cheer up people who have lost confidence, and use her artistic creation to contribute her share of responsibility to society. This song seems to have become a "salvation song", and the meaning of existence has long exceeded all words and boundaries.
Later, using the latest technology, Kuraki Mai, who is also a fan of Sakai Izumi, and his sister who was "resurrected" sang this song on the same stage, and the audience was deeply moved.
"Don't Admit Defeat" made her sister famous, and the coffee position instantly rose to the ranks of the top national artists.
There are not many people who are popular, and this sentence is always correct. After Sakai's spring water became popular, it began to attract people's attention, and gossip magazines set off a "skinned Sakaguchi spring water" demon wind, and they talked about the old things she used to do as a swimsuit model at that time.
It is rumored that Koizumi Kyo day also published in the program "Swimsuit models can be singers is really unfortunate in the singer world." Such remarks. This was heard by Sakai Izumi, who was preparing the show backstage, and he wiped his tears on the spot. From then until her death, my sister never participated in a TV show again.
Because of this, my sister can just devote all her energy to the creation of music. In the following year, she created the classic advertising song "揺れる想い" and a number of classic singles that were widely sung by the world.
However, to talk about why Sakai Izumi was able to "cross borders" to win a large number of Chinese fans, it is still necessary to start with the invitation she received from the producers of the "Slam Dunk Master" anime.
It is said that the manga author Inoue Thief is also a big fan of his sister, and he took inspiration from her sister to create the character of "Akagi Haruko".
The sister who was invited to sing the theme song was very energetic to create the well-known theme song "マイフレンド" for "Slam Dunk Master", and while we watched the growth of the basketball department of Xiangbei University, my sister also accompanied us with inspirational and positive songs.
In the same year, the sister also created a popular theme song "DAN DAN Heart Charm かれてく" for the equally popular anime "Dragon Ball", although the version used in the animated version is not sung by the sister, but the classic lyrics will still remind people of her.
The following year, "Don't You See", sung by her sister herself, was adopted by Dragon Ball as the second ending song, and on a hot summer afternoon, looking at the classic hot blood, Sakai Izumi was like a goddess shuttling between anime and manga, accompanying Heisei Toei.
In 1998, Sakai Izumi composed the most classic theme song "Turning the Wheel of Destiny" for "Detective Conan". (All stand up!) ）
At that time, the engineering tape weighed four pounds, and the sister made a total of 34 different versions in order to make the ideal theme song, and used up 136 pounds of tapes, which was completely the workload of someone else's album.
For Sakai Izumi, creating every song is like creating a new life, and she does her best to do her best.
"I just don't want to compromise on making music."
The memories of these songs are not missed, and when they are mentioned, they immediately think of Sakai Spring Water.
After this success, my sister contributed many classic works to "Conan" many times. In the same year, in addition to the song "Turning wheel of destiny", Sakai Izumi also composed the opening song of the second edition for "China Little Boss", "息もできない".
However, it was also at this time that the production of ZARD began to decline gradually, and it seems that something bad is secretly breeding...
In 2001, Sakai Izumi announced that she would stop all musical activities, and it turned out that she had already suffered from endometrial disease, but she had been hiding from the staff and insisting on creating. After the illness worsened, he had to be hospitalized to recuperate.
During Sakai Izumi's admission to the hospital, he wrote this passage: In the future, I will also cherish the small emotions in my life, and create the stories in my memory into songs, hoping to make everyone say "ZARD's songs are awesome", and I will always work hard for this.
Do you still need to say? Dude you're the best.
By 2004, my sister was preparing for her first national tour. In order to thank the fans who have always supported her, she has almost always dragged her body on the verge of collapse during the concert tour to complete 11 consecutive performances.
After the tour, my sister continued to devote herself to music. In 2006, she released her 42nd single, "ハートに火をつけて", a wedding-themed song in which Sakai Izumi left her last image of her life in the music video of the song , which is only three acts, less than ten seconds in total, and the sister wearing a white wedding dress.
Such a scene is really easy to think of Mei Yanfang's last concert in a wedding dress. My sister's lifelong lover must be music.
On the night of the MV shooting, Sakai Izumi suddenly felt extremely unwell, so he went to the hospital for examination and was finally diagnosed with cervical cancer.
This year, she was only 39 years old.
My sister had to suspend all her work to actively treat the pain, underwent surgery to remove the uterus, and then calmly recuperated.
A year later, when Sakai Izumi went to the hospital for a review, she found that the cancer cells had metastasized to her lungs, and her life could be in danger at any time.
Faced with the relentless invasion of the disease, Sakai Izumi had to be hospitalized again and actively received various treatments.
After an optimistic attitude and anti-cancer drug treatment, my sister's condition gradually improved, and she was full of hope for the future. During her serious illness and hospitalization, she still insisted on composing songs from her hospital bed, recording little by little inspiration.
Because she believes that one day she will return to the music scene, and when that day comes, she can't let down people who like her work.
During the hospitalization, my sister still recorded a song, which is also my sister's last song, called Guanghui Faith
She reluctantly came to the studio with her mother's support, and she was in a difficult state to even stand.
My sister is like an angel who came to the world to sing, and music is the whole of her life. As long as she can sing, she will definitely sing.
Fast forward to 2007, when a major earthquake struck the Japanese island of Honshu.
Seeing the displaced and homeless people, Sakai Izumi wanted to help in his own way. In the interview, she said: "When I see the elderly who are fighting alone to revitalize their homeland, and the disabled people who are trying not to give up hope, I want to create better works more and more in my heart, and I draw energy from them.
However, the weather is unpredictable. At 5:40 a.m. on May 26, 2007, Sakai Izumi was on his way back to the ward after completing his routine walk and going upstairs to the ward, when he accidentally fell from the 3-meter-high staircase slope due to the rain and slipped, and suffered a serious impact on his head.
And this time, she never stood up again.
At 3:10 p.m. on May 27, Sakai Izumi finally died of a brain contusion at the age of 40.
This sad news shocked the world and plunged the whole of Japan into endless sorrow.
In the haze of pain, more than 40,000 people attended sakai's funeral, sending her 200,000 calla lilies for her last journey.
At this moment, countless people were as sad as if their faith had collapsed.
"She's like a close friend to me, a very important person."
"It's so sad, still... I feel pain..."
"Every one of her songs gives me encouragement all the time and keeps me up."
At the funeral, the song "Don't Admit Defeat" was mournful, and then the fans shouted in unison "Thank you, Spring Water".
And she also saved a whole box of lyrics before she died, and more than 300 articles were not published in time, which is really sad and regrettable.
She once said: "I think happiness is to be able to do what you love all your life." ”
Sakai Izumi did it and never conceded defeat.
Zard has survived in Japan for 16 years, not only singing many anime soundtracks that have accompanied us growing up, but also shaping countless classic songs.
The sales of 70 billion yen have become a miracle in the history of the Japanese music scene, and no one has yet matched it, and Sakai Izumizu's single album has sold 16.18 million copies, which is deservedly the No. 1 among Japanese female singers.
Although her life is so short, it will always shine, and her youth and legend will always be there. Just like a sentence given to her by fans, "If youth has an unchanging color, it must be the appearance of Sakai Spring Water."
No matter how many spring and autumn years have passed, her music and face will not be forgotten by the world.
She is a legend, a true legend. Everyone's portrayal of her may be different, after all, her songs have always inspired different lives.
As the Japanese media predicted at the time of her death, "It feels like after a while, Sakai Spring Water will be gradually deified and become a classic."
Indeed, the so-called "ZARD legend" has only just been proclaimed since the time of her death .
Because people will always miss her, and we really, really miss her.
