The Chinese music scene once had a glorious time.
More than thirty years ago, one singer after another took the stage, and a popular song was sung in the streets, at that time, every update of the song list was the birth of a hot song.
Time flies, years pass, time passes, and what remains is a classic.
Looking back at the era when Chinese pop music was in its infancy, there were many melodies that spread all over the country, but in Japan, which was adjacent to the other side, there was already a well-known period of singing.
Almost everyone hears someone else sing her song before they recognize Miyuki Nakajima as a person.
As a singer, her voice is beautiful, like the sunlight penetrating the dense forest, and the power in her voice is like declaring herself a heroine walking in the wind and snow.
She is the only singer to win the singles charts across four generations (1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s), and even now in the hearts of many young Japanese, Nakajima remains a "goddess," saying, "hearing herself in her songs."
Miyuki Nakajima is a person with great creative talent, and the songs that she personally participated in composing and singing not only have a high reputation in Japan, but also achieved great success in the Chinese music scene after covering songs.
"Heaven on earth, if it is really worth singing..." This is a representative song of Faye Wong, the beautiful melody suddenly brings people to a very comfortable mood, the original version of this song is Miyuki Nakajima's "Clear Stream".
Faye Wong's other song, "Vulnerable Woman", was also sung by Miyuki Nakajima.
I think that Fan Weiqi's "First Dream" was played countless times on campus, and it was an inspirational song that no one knew and knew.
The original version of this classic is Miyuki Nakajima's "Riding on the Back of a Silver Dragon", which is also a cover song by Mixia on the recent "Singer" program.
Looking at the title of the song, you know that in Japan, this song has encouraged a large number of young people to embark on a journey of struggle, after all, the back of the silver dragon is not something that can sit on if you want to sit.
Teresa Teng's "Walking the Road of Life" is sung by many people to this day, and the original version is a 1980 song by Miyuki Nakajima called "Habit of Solitude".
The ending song is "Tianya", sung by Ren Xianqi, the original version of this song is Miyuki Nakajima's "Takeshi Song", which first appeared in Miyuki Nakajima's 1995 stage play "Night Party".
There was once a popular saying that summed up that era, that is, "Miyuki Nakajima fed most of the Hong Kong music scene."
According to incomplete statistics, Miyuki Nakajima has more than 70 songs covered by Hong Kong singers, and the work "Evil Girl" has even been covered in 5 versions!
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."
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, she began to try to create her own works, but at that time, her work was commented by her teacher as worthless, and she was not optimistic about this little girl who could compose independently at a young age.
In 1970, Miyuki Nakajima entered the Faculty of Letters at Teng Women's University and studied at the Department of Chinese Literature, which also paved the way for her later extraordinary ability in lyrics.
In college, Miyuki Nakajima insisted on composing, and on the stage of the performance, when everyone else was popular to form a band to perform on stage, Miyuki Nakajima took the guitar to the stage alone and sang the songs she created.
He is known as the "spoiler".
At the 1972 National Song Music Festival, Miyuki Nakajima won the Excellence Award for her original song "I Often Think This Way."
However, she was influenced by the judge at the time, the famous Japanese poet Toshitaro Furukawa, "the meaning of my being a singer", and refused the opportunity to debut at that time, immersed herself in creation, and quietly precipitated.
Three years later, Miyuki Nakajima made her official debut.
Her masterpiece "Time" soothed the trauma of Japan's economic crisis, and together with the melancholy of ordinary Japanese people at that time, it was also perfectly expressed.
Miyuki Nakajima composed this song at the age of 23, just out of school she encountered a bottleneck in the job search, the father of the family suffered a stroke, she alone to bear the hardships of respecting her parents, has always been a cheerful girl who has been actively facing life, suddenly fell into the trough of life, and the only thing that can accompany her at this moment is the pursuit of music.
In the sad sadness, she wrote such soothing lyrics as "Today's wanderers who do not support to the end, there is always a moment to change their hearts and start again".
That kind of lowness resonates, and gradually, the mood of her songs has risen from the love of children to the level of social significance, and "Time" has become a fire.
She has been a teacher, a radio host, and her own novels, but of course, the most successful of all, is her as a singer.
Miyuki Nakajima, who graduated from the Japanese Department of Japanese Literature, has a rich literary background, and her lyrics have been highly praised by both the industry and the literary world, and six of her original songs have been included in Japanese high school textbooks.
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.
Fairytale love also appeared in her.
Miyuki Nakajima and Takuro Yoshida, the "father before Japanese folk songs", fall in love, but eventually can't escape the end of breaking up.
Miyuki Nakajima never married.
Takuro Yoshida married three times, and at the age of 49, he sent out an invitation to Miyuki Nakajima when his creative power was exhausted, asking for "songs like a suicide note."
After pouring out her heartfelt thoughts and creations, she sent the song "Give Me an Eternal Lie".
She wrote: "Everything arises from love, and happens for love." ”
The lyrics contain memories and feelings of love, and Takuro Yoshida meditates for a long time.
At a concert for Takuro Yoshida's 60th birthday, miyuki Nakajima, who has never been married for life, wears a white shirt and sings the song with her old lovers after a 31-year absence.
Together, the two experienced the student left movement in Japan in the 50s and 70s, a powerful student movement that permeated their youth, and together they witnessed a great deal for each other's lives.
The gaze is as good as ever, but it is full of glory, which is a tribute to the blood that has been vigorously sprinkled in the youth era, and it is also a reflection on an era.
She loves the quiet of the night, enjoys the freedom to walk away, and she doesn't want to expose herself completely to the light, which affects her quiet life.
Miyuki Nakajima has a high degree of achievement in music, and she expresses her experiences and feelings about life and love in songs.
Her accumulated cultural literacy and unique ideological insights weaved those heartfelt true feelings, and poured out the music scene of that era through a classic.
Her original work, even if covered, has allowed many people to resonate in their thinking.
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.
This legendary woman in the Japanese music scene can make people think of her sitting next to the Clear River under the bright moon, even if the night is dark, you can still see the light in her eyes, long and quiet.
Misia said in an interview:
The main reason for singing this song was to sing a Chinese version of a Japanese song, so I chose this song that everyone likes, "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon.". In addition, because Chinese name is the original dream, I feel that the original dream must be realized, and my dream is to sing until "death". It has been twenty-two years since I debuted, and the dream of singing all my life is still on the way to realization, so the original dream is still in my hands. ”
How similar the two are.
"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.
Nakajima's songs have sprinkled through those years of youth, and our originals are on the way, preparing for the thick accumulation of the next intersection.
