Inadvertently, the new season of "The Voice of China" has finally returned. In this season, the program team specially designed an interesting new rule:
That is, the mentors will choose their own cover songs as a test for the singers.
And one of the songs selected by mentor Li Ken is his favorite Japanese singer, Takasuke Naka' "Each Far Away".
Jaylen immediately proudly stated that his "Sea of Flowers" had also been taken by Takasuke Naka to cover it. However, both said that Takasuke Naka's "island song" singing method is too difficult to learn.
So let the three instructors sing the "island song" with amazement, what is it?
Island singing is a characteristic of the Kagoshima region of Japan, and is a singing method that makes people feel as if they are in the leisurely mood of the island, and the rapid switching of true and false sounds gives people a lazy, warm and melting feeling.
Naka's island song is unique, he does not stick to tradition, but integrates popular elements into it, and the works interpreted are more tender and catchy. His representative songs such as "Each One Is Far Away" and "Flowers" are not only popular throughout Asia, but also have been repeatedly covered into Cantonese and Chinese versions by singers such as Andy Lau, The King of Hong Kong, and Singaporean singer Cai Chunjia, and he himself has also covered the works of domestic singers many times.
About Takasuke Naka
Someone once described Takasuke Naka's music like this:
"Hearing tears, tears to stomachache, stomach pain to nausea. It was as if the salty sea breeze had blown into my heart, with wet tears. Through the mature old, imaginary barriers built in the air and the appearance of self-deception, it cools the vain laughter, coldly brushes the truth revealed in the heart, and stirs up the taste of memory. People can't remember any events, but they remember all the feelings they once had. ”
In 2008, a fresh literary film in Taiwan, "Cape Seven", received double box office reputation, received multiple nominations, and won five Golden Horse Awards, which attracted much attention for a time. The calm and deep feelings are linked from the past and the future by those seven love letters, and the music of ten years ago still touches countless people today.
Cape Seven is The Seven Corners of the Sea, the first film work by Takasuke Naka, in which he plays two roles, the affectionate male teacher of the Japanese occupation era, and the Japanese singer "Naka Takasuke". In the film, he and Taiwanese singer Fan Yichen sang a song "Wild Rose" with endless tenderness to conquer many people; a song "Each Far Away" let many people enjoy the calm joy.
Known as the "Prince of Shimage", Takasuke Naka (あたりこうすけ) has a gentle true and false voice full of transparency, and his singing voice, with the characteristic transliteration of the island song, is also known as "the gentlest male voice on earth". Born on July 13, 1980 on Amami Oshima, Naise, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, he is currently a male Japanese pop singer and film and television actor. In 1996, at the age of 16, Takasuke Naka learned to sing island songs on his own under the influence of female island singer Moto chitose.
