Hideki Nishijo
According to Japanese media reports, legendary Japanese singer Hideki Nishijo died of acute heart failure last night at the age of 63. It is reported that Hideki Nishijo became popular at the age of 17 with "Love Season", and sang many golden songs such as "YoungMan" and "New York Girl". In the anime "Cherry Maruko", Maruko's sister idol is Hideki Nishijo.
Hideki Nishijo, known as the "Japanese version of Fei Xiang", was born on April 13, 1955. In 1972, he became popular with the moving song "Love Season", and became known in the Japanese music scene as "Shin Mizoya" with singers yumi Gogo and Goro Noguchi, who were similar in time and age to their debut. Unlike traditional Japanese performances, Nishijo's songs have always been full of youthful atmosphere, and because of this, his songs have endured.
In 1974, Nishijo's song "Lola" won the Singing Award at that year's Japan Record Awards. In the same year, only 19 years old, he participated in the Red and White Song Contest for the first time, and has participated in 17 times since then. The 1979 album Young People sold a record 1.4 million copies, and the song is still widely sung today, more than 20 years later. In 2007, after the release of his eighty-eighth solo album "Sweet Persimmons of Time", he was once again warmly welcomed by fans.
Many netizens left messages on Weibo to express their condolences. Netizen Sun JiaH said, "Good suddenly.... Little Maruko's sister will cry. Netizen Ruo ruoren said, "Hideki Nishijo is one of my favorite Japanese singers, and a generation of legends has ended, which is regrettable!" ”
