Almost everyone first hears others cover her songs, and then recognizes Miyuki Nakajima as a person who used to sing cover songs through Hong Kong and Taiwan, and now it is through fragments circulating on various platforms.
She is a composer, the singer who is the most covered singer, one of japan's three legendary singers, and a strong woman, but no matter which identity, it can not define Miyuki Nakajima.
Over 60 years old
Still white and thin
She sat there
Feel free to wait for inspiration
There is a gentle and firm force that flows out

As a singer, her voice is beautiful, like the sunshine piercing through the dense forest, the power in her voice is like declaring herself a heroine walking in the wind and snow, she is also the only singer who has won the singles chart across four generations (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s), even in the hearts of many young Japanese people now, Nakajima is still a "goddess", they say, "I heard myself in her songs".
Born in Hokkaido in 1952, Miyuki was a member of the Ogaki Clan (the so-called nobility) of the Ogaki Clan, studied piano at the age of 5, and under the guidance of her mother, Miyuki was exposed to literature and music from an early age. In the second grade of elementary school, Miyuki composed music for the first time, but was criticized by the teacher at the time as worthless, but the talent for composing alone was revealed at this time.
In 1970, Miyuki Nakajima was admitted to the Department of Chinese Literature of the Faculty of Letters of Fuji Women's University, and came from the National Liberal Arts Class, Andiyuki Nakajima's courage in music was reflected in the period of study, when the atmosphere of the school garden party was popular with a band, Nakajima on the first performance stage, carrying a guitar single shot, playing and singing his own creations, and thus got a "spoiler" title.
Two years later, Miyuki Nakajima participated in the National Ballad Music Festival for the first time, when Nakajima was stimulated by the jury's famous Japanese poet Toshitaro Furukawa with the title "The Meaning of Being a Singer", and politely refused the opportunity to debut. With stubbornness and thinking, three years later, Miyuki Nakajima officially debuted and gave her own answer with this song, and, as a singer, for decades, unswerving. People who don't know the song can't really understand Miyuki Nakajima.
Voice: Sing for you
Please say nothing more and hold this hand quietly
Let this silent song pass through the palm of your hand and gently enter the atrium of your heart
No matter how sad it is, the days of sadness and tears
Please accept the song in your hand, please accept my heart
... ...

Taiwanese poet Zeng Shumei once said in her book "The Weeping Soul": "The lyrics that Miyuki picked up with her hands are like snowflakes floating in the palm of her hand, and they are about to disappear in a flash, very affectionate and sad."
As a composer, Nakajima has been debuting for more than 40 years, composing more than 500 songs, and more than 70 songs have been covered by Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, so that there is a saying that in the 90s of the last century, a Nakajima Miyuki and a Tamaki Koji almost fed most of the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene. From Xu Xiaofeng's "Life is Full of Hope" (original song: Rain が空を捨てる日は) and Feng Feifei's "Dashing Walk Back" (original song: この世に二人だけ), to the early 1990s, this cover wave reached its peak, and Faye Wong established hong Kong's status as a queen of diva because of "The Woman Who Is Prone to Injury" (covered from Miyuki Nakajima's "Lipstick"). Most of the Chinese cover versions of these songs have become the representative works of these singers.
These legends can not define her, she only said that music is music to express herself, she just uses a very strong will to write the music she wants.
Therefore, since becoming famous, Nakajima has rarely been on TV, although she is not on TV, but she likes stage plays, and the stage drama series "Night Party" that she created has been broadcast since 1989, and has been 16 issues, almost every year is a new story and music.
Such exuberant creative energy is amazing. The lyrics of the works have high literary value, the form covers folk, bitterness, rock and roll, in the diversified style, what remains unchanged is Nakajima Miyuki's observation and compassion for sophistication.
In 1975, 23-year-old Miyuki Nakajima graduated and walked out of school, the expected job search process was not smooth, and he encountered a stroke from his father, which was a low point in Nakajima's life at that time. She thought in grief and drew strength, which led to Time.
"Rotation, rotation, the times are constantly rotating."
Repeat the play of dividing and merging
The wanderers who don't support themselves today
There's always a moment to get back on your mind."
The birth of Time brought appeasement to Japan, which was in an economic crisis, along with the trauma after World War II. It also raises Nakajima's work from the mood of a child to a level of social significance.
Even if you write women, the women in the song only look docile, but they are not self-pitying in their bones, they have a kind of resistance and calmness, from a certain point of view, this is also a strong manifestation of Nakajima's self-consciousness, so listening to her songs will reach the bottom color of life and then stay away from the bottom color.

We tend to marvel at Nakajima's creative talent while ignoring her fortitude as a woman.
As one of the legendary singers of the Japanese music scene, Nakajima has never been married, and this alone is difficult to be accepted by those who follow the routine of life, how powerful a woman must have to be alone in the world, and the creation and exploration of self-talent evaporated to the extreme.
This is a kind of ability, but all those women who live in a high and free life have such an ability, both stubborn and rebellious, but also brave and tenacious.
About love, there are fairy tales of Miyuki Nakajima and Takuro Yoshida. In Give Me an Eternal Lie, she writes, "Everything arises from love, and happens for love." ”
Miyuki Nakajima and Takuro Yoshida, who lived through the student left movement in Japan from the 50s to the 70s, saw the massive student movement permeate their youth, and together they witnessed a great deal for each other's lives. Thirty-one years after the song was written, Takuro Yoshida was 60 years old, Miyuki Nakajima was 54 years old, Nakajima was wearing a white shirt, and when Takuro Yoshida sang the song again on stage, both of them had entered the second half of their lives.
The eyes are the same as before, but they are full of hair
This is a tribute to the blood of youth
It is also a reflection on an era
Nakajima said she loves nightlife. Unwilling to expose herself too much to the spotlight, she can only seek her own return at night, at least, at night, quietly, and can go wherever she wants.
"The reason why I am the meaning of the singer", Nakajima has always fulfilled the promise of his debut, turning the thoughts and insights deposited in life into silver dragons, lies, sandalwood trees, and bamboo.
She can wait for the coming dawn in some hidden corner of the night, in a lonely darkness, and give the vicissitudes of the world the morning sun.
Even if you are over sixty years old, time has crept up the corner of your eye,
Her eyes still shone with a girlish glow,
It's like never getting old.
