For friends who love Japanese songs, Sakai Izumi, a Japanese female singer, is the most familiar.
Especially those who like Japanese manga and are familiar with "Slam Dunk Master" must have heard her singing.
Sakai Izumi, a very beautiful name, she is known in Japan as a rock actress who is known as a national singer.
In the period when Hahan Andi was very popular, whether it was Japanese-style costumes, Japanese novels and manga, or Japanese songs and singers, it became a trend that young people chased.
Although I rarely listen to Japanese songs, I also know that the influence of Japanese songs in Asia and even the world is very large.
There was once a saying that a Nakajima Miyuki fed most of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.
Although the words are a bit exaggerated, they also illustrate an influence of Japanese songs on our Chinese music scene.
For example, the songs we love to listen to, such as "A Thousand And One Songs", "Red Sun", "Vulnerable Woman", "Sad Pacific", "I Only Care About You", "Later", "Drifting Snow", etc. are all covered in Japanese classic pop music.
Today,nikoi Izumi is known as a national singer in Japan, and may not be as good as Miyuki Nakajima and Shinji Tanimura, who are called national treasure singers.
But the influence of Sakai Spring Water in Japan is definitely like Zhang Guorong or Mui Yanfang in our Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene.
Sakai Izumi has a classic inspirational song called "Don't Admit Defeat", which was released in 1993 and was loved by the whole people, and the background of the song was the "lost decade" in Japan at that time, so the song was sung with people's firm belief and cohesion, and it was a classic song in the society at that time.
A few years later, the song "Don't Admit Defeat" became a music textbook selected for Japanese universities, and was considered the "second national anthem" in the folk.
The inspirational spirit expressed in the song has always deeply influenced the japanese men, women and children, and the melody of the song is moving, full of youthful vitality, inspiring people to move forward.
Sakai Izumi started out as a receptionist for a company, but was discovered by scouts on the street because of her beautiful appearance and entered a modeling studio.
After becoming a model, Sakai Izumi went to japan's karaoke queen draft competition, and stood out from the three thousand beautiful ladies to become the champion.
After becoming a draft champion, the original chairman of the firm thought that Sakai Izumi's talent should be more than that, so he recommended her to become a singer and introduced her to Daiyuki To, the president of the being company.
Sakai Izumi finally entered the ZARD band as the lead singer, although the members of the middle group have changed batch after batch, but the lead singer position of Sakai Izumi remains unchanged.
So later many fans always believed that ZARD was Sakai Izumi, and she represented the whole band.
What made Sakai Izumi so popular should be 1993, she wrote "Don't Admit Defeat", although it is a song sung on behalf of the band, but the whole song is sakai Izumi's talent performance.
The song became the number one song in the Japanese music scene in 1993, ranking first in both sales and charts.
Sakai Izumi is not only a rock pop singer, she is a singer-songwriter actress, she has written songs for many singers, Teresa Teresa has also sung the song she wrote to "あなたと共に生きてゆく", Chinese name is "Spend This Life with You", a particularly good and inspirational Japanese song.
Sakai Izumi has not only written songs for other singers, but also sung theme songs for many movies and television, such as the famous anime "Slam Dunk Master" and "Detective Conan".
Sakai Izumi is a talented woman, but she is also a beautiful female singer who was once called "the most beautiful rock singer in Asia".
If the appearance of Sakai Spring Water is in China, it should be called the level of a fairy sister.
Each album of Sakai Izumi has sold amazingly, with 9 of them selling more than one million copies, and the total sales have exceeded 40 million copies.
With the results, it has been proved how beloved Sakai Izumi's songs are.
In fact, in addition to singing and writing songs, Sakai Izumi also loves to write poetry, and has published several poetry collections.
It was as if the most beautiful literary and artistic talents in the world were concentrated on this beautiful woman, but heaven seemed to be unfair to her.
In 2001, Sakai Izumi's body was already having problems, but after a short treatment, she threw herself into music, music is her life, and every day when she opens her eyes, almost everything is related to music.
In April 2006, Sakai Izumi suddenly became unwell while working, and after being sent to the hospital for examination, he learned that he had cervical cancer, and although he recovered from resection surgery in the same year, he found that the cancer had spread during the re-examination in 2007, so he was admitted to the hospital for convalescence.
But what I didn't expect was that during the hospital, when Sakai Quanshui got up for a walk in the morning, he accidentally fell into the stairwell of the hospital.
After a day of rescue, Sakai Izumi still left the human world, and that day was May 27, 2007.
Maybe it is really a jealous red face, or a red face and a short life, why are talented people always so easy to leave?
Just like Zhang Guorong, like Mei Yanfang, just like Chen Baiqiang, there are many, many singers.
Many fans respect Sakai Izumi as her sister, because she is a sister at home, and there are younger siblings below, and because her songs are always inspirational, always leading everyone out of difficulties and facing a new life.
Music is borderless, idle to listen to the song of Sakai Izumi, is also another flavor, although you can not understand the lyrics, but the fighting spirit, light, lively, passionate music melody can make people physically and mentally relaxed.
So, what Japanese songs have you ever heard?
