My favorite singer

Miyuki Nakajima is my favorite singer. I will introduce her.
Men may be afraid of such a woman. Her lyric has grudge, jealousy and entreaty of human. Of course, they aren’t all of her. The lyric is vigorous, and it cannot be ignored. She keeps herself above all the vulgarity around her. I think that her position seems to be a holy place.


Miyuki Nakajima is a Japanese vocalist, guitarist, lyricist, composer and radio personality. She is a principal Japanese female veteran singer-songwriter. She is often compared to Yumi Matsutoya, she has released 35 studio albums, 40 singles, 2 live albums and multiple compilations to date, and whose sales have been estimated at more than 21 million copies.
Miyuki Nakajima made her debut on 1970’s, and she cut a conspicuous figure. Her debut single is "Azami Jo no Lullaby". After rising to fame thanks to the hit "The Parting Song (Wakareuta)" released in 1977, she has enjoyed a successful career as a singer-songwriter, most strikingly in the early 1980s. She has produced four singles that sold more than a million copies in the last two decades, including "Earthly Stars (Unsung Heroes)" She made many tunes. For example, “Jidai”(1975), “Wakare-Uta”(1977) and “Akujo”(1981). They were great hits. She offered her tunes to Naoko Ken, Hiromi Go and Junko Sakurada, and they were also great hits. She becames a important person at the Japanese circle of music.


She is also well known for her experimental theatre performances. It is called "Yakai". She performs every year-end from 1989 through to 1998. The idiosyncratic acts featured scenarios and songs she wrote but have continued irregularly in recent years.


In addition to her work as a solo artist, Nakajima has written over 90 compositions for numerous other singers, and has produced several chart-toppers. She is also one of the Japanese songwriters who has had the greatest number of cover versions of her songs performed by non-Japanese East Asian singers, especially Taiwanese and Hong Kong ones.
Nakajima is one of the literarily acclaimed Japanese songwriter of modern times, winning a couple of the country's Record Awards for her contributions as a lyricist. She is known as the sole musician whom was a participants of the National Language Council of Japan, took part in the late 1990s



She gave expressions to her negative thought, the diction was clever and her sing enthusiastically. Her tunes were unique, while her tunes were easy to sing and easy to remember the lyric, so they are acceptable by many people.
But Miyuki Nakajima hates exposures in mass media, and she became a mysterious singer. Now, there are many enthusiastic fans, and her fresh sensibility has not decayed yet.


My favorite her tune is “Sad things happen anytime (Kanashii koto wa Itumo aru)”. I will translate the words.


There is nobody wrong, but sad things happen anytime.
He gets and does not his wishes, and she gets and does not get her wishes too.
There is nobody wrong, but sad things happen anytime.


It is a short tune, but I like the words.
I think that her voice, melody and poems are very good. When I feel solitude, I often listen to her tunes, and I feel still sad. Miyuki’s songs come with me to any extreme distress. I feel secures them, so I like Miyuki Nakajima.
