Even if I hadn't heard the names of Mi Sato and Chara, I had heard Mi Sato and Chaa sing. Mi Sato and Chara, who have been in the music industry for more than 20 years, have not only sung and acted, but also become friends with Asano Tadanobu because of acting, and now there is a beautiful daughter like a sister like Asano.
Tadanobu Asano falls in love with Chara in the film Dream Traveler directed by Shunji Iwai. The film was filmed in 1994, but did not air until 1996. In March 1995, the two had already struck a marriage, and on the day of their wedding, the two walked hand in hand in Shibuya, exchanging rings and humming the wedding march.
When the 1997 album "Junior Sweet" was released, it was Chara who was immersed in the happiness of marriage, and the song MV was also full of side shots of her daily interaction with Tadanobu Asano, and the name of the song was "Time Machine", which means that in love we often get angry with lovers because of some mistakes, but after the mood is calm, we always think of those times, and start to think that those are actually cute! It is a song that expresses gratitude and cherishing to Asano.
The newly married couple soon ushered in a new life, their eldest daughter, Asano. However, in 2009, Chara and Tadanobu Asano announced their divorce by agreement, making a final statement for the marriage of more than ten years.

In Chara's 10th album Honey, released in 2008, the girl with the honeycomb and a pair of confused eyes on the album cover was Asano Violet, who was in the middle of the country at that time. And this album with the theme of adolescence can be said to be Chara's gift to her daughter who is in this sensitive period.
"Cherry Cherry" is a song given to her daughter by Chara, describing the feeling of watching her daughter bravely love on the one hand, but also worrying about her emotionally hurt, perhaps also implying some of the feelings of being a mother, in fact, silently hoping that her daughter can rely on herself for a longer time and want her to stay around.
In last year's select album "JEWEL", the daughter who is already a model was once again found to participate in the album image, in addition to the mother and daughter juxtaposed on the cover and back cover, Asano also filmed the MV of the reinterpretation of "Gentle Feeling".
Is mother and daughter as reasonable as sisters?
"Kiss" from the same album is also a classic of Chara's sweet voice, the theme song of the 2003 film "Snake Letter and Tongue Ring", and now re-covered and produced the MV, showing Chara's iconic fan-like beauty, as well as her frequently chosen location - the seaside.
"Swallowtail Butterfly~あいのうた~" is the theme song of the 1996 movie "Swallowtail Butterfly", and it is still one of Chara's masterpieces.
In addition, they have only recently taken catalog photos for the clothing brand KOE as the spokesperson for 2015, and the mother and daughter have taken a catalog photo together, in which the advertising song "Rainbow" sung by Chara for the brand is also included in her new album "Secret Garden" in 2015.
Chara, who released her album "Secret Garden" this year, in addition to the above-mentioned advertising image songs, also includes the movie "Cute Qiaohu Island: Qiaohu and the Big Tree" (tentative translation) (will it be too contradictory?) The theme song "Taste of Light", the theme song "Hug" of the TV series "The Bread Shop in the Late Night", and the theme song "Samurai's Menu" starring Sai Ueto and Kengo Takara , "Love Letter".
Last year, Chara, who came to the Simple Life Festival with her children, performed in collaboration with the orchestra The Novembers, and the most gossipy thing is that in fact, the drummer of the orchestra The Novembers, Yoshiki Yusuke, is her boyfriend who is 18 years younger! Everyone is also speculating about "Bitter Apologies", and the last male protagonist to appear seems to be Yoshiki Yusuke.

But no matter who she's with, or after a few more years or a few years of age, Chara is always Chara, the woman who occasionally puts a little sweet flash in the MV, brings you a delicate voice, a little weird but also weirdly addictive.
