In 2009, the Japanese media conducted two surveys, one for men and one for women. They interviewed women on the street and asked only one sentence: "If there is a chance to have a facelift, which artist has the ideal appearance in your mind?" The boy asked, "Which female artist would you most like to have dinner with?" I didn't expect that both men and women would answer yes - Miho Nakayama!
The reporter observed that the expression on their faces was richer, and almost 80% of the interviewees showed a happy look, and their eyes were polished, as if they had seen a goddess who had been coveted for many years.
I have to admit that Japanese actress Miho Nakayama, who starred in film and television dramas such as "Love Letter", "Sleeping Forest", "Sage's Love" and released many best-selling records, was red to purple at the time, but no one knew that she had experienced too many misfortunes.
Miho Nakayama was born in 1970 to parents who ran her own Italian restaurant in Akita Prefecture, but divorced when she was three years old. At that time, Miho was told that her father had died (when she became an adult, she learned that her father was still alive), and living in a relative's house became her childhood memory.
Her parents divorced, and Miho Nakayama has lived with her mother ever since, along with her sister Shinobu Nakayama. It is worth mentioning that Nakayama Shinobu was also an actor later, and also cooperated with Jet Li in "Jingwu Hero", and was very popular Chinese. Perhaps, the two sisters are destined to be the material for being actors.
In a single-parent family, once the mother's violent temper came again, shouting at Miho Nakayama and taking a kitchen knife to cut it. Unexpectedly, Mie Nakayama grabbed her mother with her backhand, bit her viciously on the arm, and then fled the house in a hurry.
She ran for a long time before she dared to stop and then howl and cry! The sun is so bright, why has her life been living in the dark? As a young girl, she couldn't understand!
Since then, her mother has not cared about her, left her at a relative's house, and then turned away. Therefore, in Miho Nakayama's childhood, constantly changing accommodations, staying in relatives' homes, and sending people under the fence for a long time is her deepest memory of childhood.
Once a man ran up to her mother, saying that he was a good friend of her mother, and came to pick her up, and three hours after getting into the car, she cried and realized that something was wrong. Fortunately, relatives found that she did not come home from school, and reported to the police in time to avoid a disaster.
"I was involved in an abduction case and almost lost my life." As an adult, Miho Nakayama said to her friends more than once.
In January 1985, Miho Nakayama was walking on the streets of Harajuku when she was suddenly picked up and said she wanted to ask her to shoot a scene.
She asked, "Why?" The other party is not in a hurry, and patiently said: "You can be famous when filming, and you can do whatever you want to do in the future." ”
This sentence made Miho Nakayama's heart move. She could finally decide her own destiny. In January of the same year, she starred in TBS's "Shock You", playing a quiet girl, thus debuting.
In the same year, Miho Nakayama starred in her first film, "Bipopu High School", playing Izumi Tomoko, a second-year high school girl who hates violence.
Her childish face has not faded, her hair is disheveled, her skin is dark, her image is very bright, very personal, and she has become popular ever since.
In order to concentrate on her work, she voluntarily dropped out of high school in her freshman year of high school. She officially entered the music scene and became a singer. The company was also very supportive of her, producing the single "C" for her.
The single won the Record Awards for Best Newcomer that year. On the name of Miho Nakayama, the honor of "singer" has been added.
Not long after, she sang the theme song for the TV series "Young Lady Mana Boundless", which won the first place in the Oricon Public Trust Chart Weekly Chart.
In the same year, she was invited to participate in the "Red and White Song Club" and became an amphibian actress.
Later, she sang two songs, "Love You More Than Anyone in the World" and "Just Want to Cry", which won the first place on the public trust chart chart, and both sold more than 1 million copies.
Among them, "Just Want to Cry", in that year, became a must-have song for newlyweds to get married.
In 1986, she starred in "Sailor Suit Rebel League", picking up young rebels and playing a rebellious girl.
Perhaps because of empathy, she acted extremely realistically and shined in it.
A year later, she starred in "My Mom is an Idol". Play as a stepmother of three children, tough and determined.
After the drama was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensation. The ratings were as high as 22.2%, which is a phenomenon.
Then, she starred in "Who Did The Good Thing", "Season of Love", "Embrace the Waves", all of which attracted much attention! She was also given the titles of "Queen of Japanese Drama", "Queen of the Ninth Moon", and "Female Version of Kimura Takuya".
At that time, some media even wrote that she was with Kudo Shizuka, Yoko Minano, and Asaka, and was called "the four kings of female idols in the second half of the 80s".
And Miho Nakayama is also one of the best developed ones. But she was finally poor and afraid, and she was passively tired, and now that she had touched this glimmer of light, she did not dare to relax at all.
From 1994 to 1998, in four years, she shot 6 works in one go. Among them, the classic pure love film "Love Letter" that caused a sensation around the world was filmed at this time. Miho Nakayama plays two roles, playing Hiroko and playing Fujii.
In the opening scene, she stood in the white snow, looking up at the sky to feel the snowflakes, and the series of long shots surprised many people.
At the end of the film, she came to the snowy mountain again, looked into the endless distance, and cried out to herself: "Fujii Tree, how are you?" I'm fine..."
Miho Nakayama's regretful lifelong affectionate confession vividly interprets the complex feelings in the hearts of the characters, which are deeply moving and shocking.
There was a media selection that rated "15 unsurpassable heroines in the movie", and Miho Nakayama's "Love Letter" was listed impressively.
Juxtaposed with her are Vivien Leigh of "Gone with the Wind", Hepburn of "Roman Holiday", and Lin Qingxia of "Undefeated in the East". Since then, the Fujii tree in "Love Letters" has also become the most important symbol of her life.
With the introduction of "Love Letters" by South Korea, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan and all of them achieved sensational results, the role of "Fujii Shu" won her the 35th Japan Blue Ribbon Awards "Blue Ribbon" Best Actress Award.
For a time, she became the most popular actress in Japan, and received so many honors that no one could match.
In 1997, she starred in the movie "Tokyo Hiwa", playing the terminally ill wife of an artist! Director Naoto Takenaka said, "He has always admired Miho Nakayama, always dreaming of one day, he will have the opportunity to direct a movie, and the heroine must ask Miho Nakayama." ”
Through the performance of tragic characters, Miho Nakayama won the 21st Japan Academy Awards (1998) Outstanding Actress Award for this film!
In 1998, she starred in Fuji Television's autumn drama "Sleeping Forest", in collaboration with Takuya Kimura, a suspenseful classic drama.
Miho Nakayama plays the heroine of the tragic past, Shinoko Ōtino, who hides ten years of hidden memories like a forest in her heart, and the performance is still very powerful.
Miho Nakayama won the 19th Japanese Drama Academy Award for Best Actress for this TV series.
In 2000, she starred in the Fuji TV series "Two Thousand Years of Love", which was screened simultaneously in five locations in Asia in collaboration with Takeshi Kaneshiro.
In the play, Miho Nakayama plays the heroine of the real agent, a career-oriented woman with a lonely personality and a lonely heart, so chuchu and moving.
In 2010, Miho Nakayama returned to the big screen after marriage to take over the film "Goodbye, Someday" adapted from her husband Hitoshi Tsuji's novel of the same name.
The film was filmed in Japan, Thailand, and South Korea, and the sentence "People must be ready to say goodbye at any time; it is best to understand that loneliness is one of the friends who are the least likely to betray people; for those who are timid in love, it is best to buy an umbrella first", I don't know how many women who love timidity have been inspired.
In 2016, after two years of divorce, Miho Nakayama once again topped the top of Japanese drama with a "Sage's Love".
Recently, at the age of 49, she also publicly released the news that she will pick up a singing career and will hold a concert in Tokyo on her 50th birthday.
However, for Miho Nakayama, her career is smooth sailing, but the love field is repeatedly frustrated. I have met scumbags and divorced, which is quite helpless.
In 1991, she joined Toshihiko Tahara on the Hawaii Idol Tour, and as soon as the show ended, they began dating.
Tahara Toshihiko is Japan's "idol emperor", handsome, popular, the woman is a generation of diva, it seems that the golden boy and jade girl are so matched, so the outside world has shouted, and Miura Yuwa and Yamaguchi Momoe are compared to them.
Unfortunately, Miho Nakayama was not as lucky as Momoe Yamaguchi, and she had no desire for a lifetime to meet Ruyi Langjun. She once wrote in a book that she had been thrown a kitchen knife by a man who lived with her, and that she had attacked her in the face, without any scruples.
According to media speculation, the person who threw the kitchen knife was Tahara Toshihiko. So the dream woke up and she decided to break up.
There are also two types of sayings:
The first is that Tahara Toshihiko cheated on Kudo Shizuka, and was discovered by Miho Nakayama, so she ended her relationship.
The second is that Toshihiko Tahara fell out with the brokerage company for the sake of Miho Nakayama, and was eventually banned by the company. They subsequently ended their relationship.
Whatever the truth, her relationship has failed utterly! In the same year, Yamamiho met composer Inoue Yoshima but broke up after a year of dating.
No one has said why, and this past has become the most inconspicuous emotional failure in her life.
In 1999, Miho Nakayama met the image designer Noguchi Tsutomu and developed a relationship between lovers, who prematurely mixed up the wind and moon field, keen on night scenes, even if they were with Miho Nakayama, they were unwilling to converge. Miho Nakayama seems to have moved her true feelings, and even stopped her thriving work, pushed a blockbuster appointment, and turned around to go to Hawaii for a vacation with her boyfriend. The relationship lasted two years and still ended in failure.
In 2001, Miho Nakayama met singer and Wasagawa Prize writer Hitoshi Tsuji, and after an 8-month relationship, she married. He then moved to Paris and gave birth in 2004.
The husband is also a musician, and a film director, which can be described as talented. Miho Nakayama's comeback work "Goodbye, One Day" when she returned to the screen nine years later is a work written.
After getting married, Miho Nakayama put down her popular career and followed her husband to Paris. Every day at 6 o'clock, I made my own breakfast, picked up my lost studies, went to university to learn French, and took a minor in embroidery.
Miho Nakayama had a fan who met her in Paris and found that she was completely different from the TV, her skin was very dark, but the atmosphere of love around her was very strong, and she was very close to her husband and son, and she did not have the sharpness of the past.
In 2014, Miho Nakayama publicly announced that the 12-year marriage had ended. And give up the custody of the son, rather than abandon the name of the husband and abandon the son, but also love violently! As for why the divorce, Miho Nakayama will not say more.
In January 2015, Miho Nakayama was photographed by the Japanese media on the street drunk and kicked in the stomach by her boyfriend Keiichiro Shibuya, but she did not want to talk much, and once said on Twitter: "The person I love makes me feel desperate." The network message comforted, thinking that she was trapped by the increasingly estranged relationship with her son.
Later, Miho Nakayama was once again found holding hands with her boyfriend and visiting Daiguan Mountain at night, which was also the first time that she was photographed on a sweet outing of the two after being treated violently.
In the past 44 years, her emotional path has ups and downs, and she has been abandoned by love and fate! This also led to her not receiving film and television dramas for nine years, and the bitterness and tears in it may only be known to Miho Nakayama herself.
I remember that in "Love Letters", Hiroko Watanabe once gazed at the young and shy Fujii tree in the library, but deliberately hid or never refused to admit her inner hot feelings, so she accidentally found that the other party died, and then she cried and regretted it.
Drama is like life, Known as the "first love of the Japanese people", Miho Nakayama suffers various emotional failures, and she may be like Hiroko Watanabe, facing her own Fujii tree, but she has never been able to cherish it.
After the comeback of Miho Nakayama, in the face of the violent impact of many small flowers in the film and television circle, it is impossible to continue to rely on the big female protagonists such as "The Love of the Sage" to stay on the front line.
But she also followed on film and television dramas such as "Marmalade Boy", "The Last Letter", "The Tragedy of W", "See them will understand" and so on, whether it is the female number one or the supporting role, they all solidly shape the characters.
The major media took photos of her, all of which looked a little puffy, old,quite different from the elegant image of the past, and such a collapsed appearance, which also made netizens frightened, shouting "return my goddess to come."
Remember "108 ~ The Revenge and Adventure of Seahorse Goro~" in which Ayako took advantage of her marriage to quit the show business circle, and her uneasiness and fear of aging.
In this regard, Miho Nakayama said: "I myself do not have that negative view of getting old, nor do I feel fear, it should be said that the older I am, the happier I am, so for me, the most important thing in making this film is to try to understand and approach Ayako's thoughts and express her feelings." ”
This is the true story of a poor girl who is lucky enough to become a generation of Japanese beauty divas, but there are all kinds of ups and downs and misfortunes hidden, and there is no happiness and happiness in fairy tales.
Perhaps Miho Nakayama never had the luxury of expecting herself to usher in praise such as "50-year-old still maintain a girlish face" and "immortal goddess", and she is definitely not Yamaguchi Momoe and Kudo Shizuka, who can live a happy life after marriage. Instead, she waited until her face was aging and became a single, elderly divorced woman, and still had to come out to give Xiaohua a supporting role.
Remembering that she lost her lover for the fourth time and fell into the trough of her life, Numero TOKYO magazine interviewed her. At that time, the reporter asked her euphemistically: "How to deal with the difficulties of life?" ”
Miho Nakayama smiled awkwardly and then spat out a sentence: "I have thought about a life that I will not regret, and I will seek happiness for myself in the future." ”
After watching the bumpy story of the first half of the life of Miho Nakayama, a generation of Japanese divas, it is always emotional. How come such a Japanese national treasure level goddess has experienced too many sorrows and joys, love and hate?
Perhaps these will eventually become the guiding lights for her acting career. The years are quiet, and I wish the goddess happiness.
