Spring is soon in town
But you are not in the vast wilderness
It's still winter
"Don't Forget Me Again"
There are two paths to happiness
One is to fulfill one's wishes perfectly
The other is to give up all wishes
《Happiness》
A Japanese television station once interviewed on the street and asked passers-by why they liked Miyuki Nakajima's songs, and the answer was almost unanimous: her lyrics wrote her own voice.
She was born in 1952 and is still unmarried.
Some say she's too good to deserve; some say she doesn't want to sacrifice her career; others say she didn't meet someone she really likes.
And everyone admits that she is beautiful, super talented, and in gender-unequal Japan, she is a female role model with an independent spirit.
She is Miyuki Nakajima, who is known as the "National Treasure of Japan".
In 2006, at the 60-year-old concert of Takuro Yoshida, the "Father of Japanese Folk", 54-year-old Miyuki Nakajima wore a white shirt and jeans, dashing and spontaneous, smiling like a girl, playful, light and confident.
At the end of the song, Miyuki Nakajima smiled and bowed to the audience, and greeted Takuro Yoshida, who was said to have been a lover. Then she turned and left, dashing and neat.
Miyuki Nakajima, 68, married herself to music.
Miyuki Nakajima was born in 1952 in Sapporo, Hokkaido.
Miyuki Nakajima began studying piano at the age of 5 and also studied ballet.
In the second grade of elementary school, she began to try her first attempt at composing music, a bold move that was supported by her family.
As a teenager, she participated in various music competitions, sang her original works, and won the title of "spoiler".
In 1972, Miyuki Nakajima, who was still studying at the university, participated in the national song and music festival for the first time, and won the first prize with the song "I Often Think This Way".
This time, for the first time, Miyuki Nakajima also entered the eyes of the Japanese people.
At a time when everyone thought that this new talented woman could make a smooth debut, Miyuki Nakajima actually refused.
The reason was because the judge at the time, the famous Japanese poet Toshitaro Tanigawa, had a title " The Meaning of My Being a Singer " .
At that time, Miyuki Nakajima thought deeply and felt that debuting as an artist was not what she really wanted, so she politely refused this low-hanging fruit.
After graduating from university, Nakajima briefly worked as a Chinese language teacher at his alma mater, Kashiwa High School, and has been using his spare time to perform music.
After 3 years of precipitation and thinking, Miyuki Nakajima felt that she could become a singer.
So in 1975, Miyuki Nakajima participated in the 9th Pop Song Contest and won several awards with the song "Wounded Wings".
He was appreciated by Genichi Kawakami, the president of Yamaba Music, and became a member of the team.
At that time, countless people said that this was a natural singer born for the stage.
At the age of 23, Miyuki Nakajima, who laughs like the girl next door, officially debuted.
In the same year, she quickly became popular with an original single "Time".
At this point, the era belonging to Miyuki Nakajima officially began.
Hu Yanbin said when he was on a variety show that you can sing and dance, but only creation can make you live forever.
Singer-songwriters as we know them are generally more male.
Not to mention that the level of creative ability is uneven, the degree of singing is different, that is, the length of creation, it is very rare to be able to persist for ten years.
Miyuki Nakajima has been singing for forty years, composing forty years, and covering for nearly forty years since her debut.
What is even more valuable is that such a large portfolio has always maintained a high standard.
The only explanation is that she is a genius, a self-disciplined genius.
When I was about to take the college entrance examination, I used to listen to "The First Dream" over and over again, and I noticed that the song was adapted from Miyuki Nakajima.
Later, I learned that the original version had a magnificent name "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon".
Today in the face of the vicissitudes of sentimentality, people like me, like chicks that can't fly
Sigh at my current powerlessness
Hurry up and turn sadness into wings, hurry up turn scars into compass needles
Since 1989, Miyuki Nakajima has held a stage play "Night Party" once a year, which is the hardest concert to buy in Japan. A ticket is hard to find, and it is empty as soon as it comes out.
A little later, I watched her 2007 concert "Song Brigade" and watched it over and over again.
There are very few video versions of a concert that make people excited like this. There are songs, plots and interpretations, and the most classic songs of Miyuki Nakajima are collected.
At the age of 55, she is a woman standing under the golden light in the middle of the sea of people.
At this time, she already had deep laugh lines, her face was loose, and she completely faded away from the bit of pretense and calmness, and the confidence of the whole person was very charming.
Japanese showbiz has always paid attention to textbook expression management and image shaping, but her concerts often appear a variety of arrogant expressions and cute little actions.
Such a person is really attractive.
The seven or eight years from the mid-sixties of the last century to the beginning of the seventies were an era of youth.
It was an era when young people tried to change the world with their blood and ideals.
For forty or fifty years later, a group of people who had passed through that era became thinkers and writers, who froze that era in an eternal youth, with a hint of the dusk of old photographs, including a singer named Miyuki Nakajima.
That era can not be commented on in terms of good and bad, it has everything that the current era no longer has, those memories and scars that only belong to that generation, so Nakajima Miyuki's song has a lot of stories with a sense of the times.
Takuro Yoshida, a Japanese singer who also came through that era, invited Miyuki Nakajima to sing at the age of 49 when his creative power was exhausted, and the once brilliant Japanese pop singer king fell into a mental dilemma and asked to write a "song like a suicide note".
In the end, Miyuki sent him the song "Give Me an Eternal Lie."
At Takuro Yoshida's 60-year-old concert, Miyuki Nakajima, 54, who is still unmarried, sang the song with him in a simple white shirt and jeans: "Laugh and say that you never regret everything we met." ”
The applause from the audience was thunderous, and she was full of laughter, waving her hand away.
Many people understand that as a kind of love, as the unmarried Love of Miyuki Nakajima and Takuro Yoshida, who has been married three times, but in fact, looking at the lyrics and tunes, it is more like nostalgic for their youth and bloody years when they are moving towards their twilight years.
In that era, they were willing to break their heads for faith and ideals, and love was extremely noble, but there was always something that made it lose its luster.
Some people have said that Miyuki Nakajima has fed half of the Chinese music scene, such as Teresa Teng's "Walking the Road of Life".
"Walking the Road to Life" is based on Miyuki Nakajima's 1980 single "Habit of Solitude", which once sold a miracle of 400,000 copies.
In 1992, "Vulnerable Woman" became popular throughout Hong Kong, and Faye Wong won numerous awards at major music awards ceremonies, thus jumping into the ranks of Hong Kong's first-line female singers.
The original song of this song, "Lipstick", was also written, composed and sung by Miyuki Nakajima.
Written by Miyuki Nakajima, there is also Fan Weiqi's melody "The First Dream", which has resonated with countless listeners, this song is about courage and everyone's dream.
"The First Dream", the original Japanese version is titled "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon", nakajima Miyuki uses this song to praise an isolated island doctor, using the image of "Silver Dragon Leap" to express the pursuit and yearning for kindness and innocence.
In 2000, the ending song of the TV series "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu", "Tianya", was widely sung, and until now, it is also a single with a high demand rate in KTV.
The original song of "Tianya" is called "Bamboo Song", written, composed and sung by Miyuki Nakajima. According to Miyuki Nakajima, she hopes to express in this song her reverence for nature and its love for everything in the world.
In addition to these popular songs, Ren Xianqi's "Sad Pacific", Tang Baoru's "Absolutely a Dream", etc., are all covered from Miyuki Nakajima's works.
Therefore, some people joke that a Nakajima Miyuki has fed most of the musicians in the Chinese music scene!
As a female singer born in 1952, Miyuki Nakajima has never been married, but has a strong creative force.
With this, it is enough to be a role model for many women, she has her own unique perspective, and the way she gets along with the world, she knows what is needed, she listens to her heart, lives independently and radiantly in this world, she is the representative of this era, independent and excellent women.
Hats off to Miyuki Nakajima and thank you for bringing so many classic songs!
In the process of growing up and aging, each of our lives continues to generate stories of joy and sorrow.
I believe that Miyuki Nakajima's inner world is richer and more delicate and dedicated than the songs she composes are more abundant and more dedicated than what we see with the naked eye, and no man can really understand what she wants and loves, and has been waiting for Mr. Perfect all her life, and because of this, she will still be unmarried.
Or, as Taiwanese female writer Jian Zhen said in a poem: "That person is a puzzle maker, guess the mystery and want to turn yourself into a puzzle", love and marriage, Yu Nakajima Miyuki is like a puzzle, she would rather be single than spend more time and energy to solve the puzzle.
Most of the most beautiful women in the world have a still water deep current, clear and moist and peaceful temperament, and Nakajima Miyuki is one of them.
