A Japanese singer supports half of the Chinese music scene. Do you believe such a story?
In 1983, Polygram Records found Teresa Teng , and said that she would recommend a Japanese song to her, and it would be a big hit after singing. Who is Teresa Teng? The hottest female singer in the 1970s "Where there are Chinese, there is Teresa Teng". Being able to ask Teresa Teng to do a cover song is almost as difficult as asking Jackie Chan and to do a group performance.
However, Teresa Teng agreed, because the author of this song is Nakajima Miyuki .
In May 83, Teresa Teng's new song " Walking the Road of Life " was released. Its original song is " used to be lonely " by Miyuki Nakajima, a song that has sold 400,000 albums. Teresa Teng did not miss out. Once "Walking the Road of Life" was released, it directly won the championship of Hong Kong Chinese Golden Songs. At the concert held at the Hung Hom Stadium at the end of the year, some fans were so excited that they fainted. If
says that Teresa Teng's adaptation also has celebrity blessing effects, then Faye Wong and 's popularity depends entirely on Nakajima Miyuki.
In 1992, 23-year-old Faye Wong returned to China from the United States. She was at a low point in her career. She casually flipped through a piece of Aunt Xue's "Lipstick"; This new song is called " vulnerable woman ", and it will be discontinued immediately after its release, and its sales are approaching platinum. Dare to say silently here, anyone who likes Faye Wong, it is impossible not to have heard of it.
This is not the end, 5 years later, the record company invited Aunt Xue to tailor the song "Human World" for Faye Wong, which established Faye Wong's status as the queen of the Hong Kong music scene. The third singer of
Nakajima Miyuki is called Ren Xianqi. Many people think that he was popular because of "Too Soft Heart", but in fact, Ren Xianqi's pinnacle work is " Sad Pacific ". The original song is "Happiness" written by Aunt Xue for her friend Kobayashi Kyoko in 1997. Just one year later, the quick-witted Rolling Stone bought the copyright and handed him over to Ren Xianqi. How popular was the song
? From Sanlitun in Beijing to Ximending in Taipei, eight of the ten VCD stores are showing Pacific Ocean. That was a weather vane, the last platinum album of Chinese music in the 20th century was composed by a Japanese singer. The last time
Aunt Xue became a popular singer was probably Fan Weiqi in 2004. A song "'s original dream ", how many frustrated young people sang and cried. However, the birth of this song is full of coincidences. At that time, Fan Weiqi was chasing a Japanese drama called "Goto Doctor's Clinic", and the theme song " rides on the silver dragon's back " happened to be sung by Nakajima Miyuki.
Fan Weiqi was so impressed that he approached the company to negotiate with Miyuki Nakajima, hoping to buy the copyright of the theme song. However, after the copyright was bought back, Fan Weiqi couldn't find the feeling in the TV series, and no matter how she sang it, she didn't care. Until a trip to Hualien, I saw the boundless sea on the plane, and this "Dream", which has influenced two generations, was born.
refuses to complete the statistics, Nakajima Miyuki wrote more than 500 songs in her life, of which more than 70 were covered into more than 300 Chinese songs. Jacky Cheung , Andy Lau , Zhou Huajian , Leslie Cheung , Lin Jiaxin ... In the Hong Kong and Taiwan music scene in the 1980s and 90s, most of the singers were members of the "Nakajima Meixue Sinicization Group".
So the question is, what is the charm of Nakajima Miyuki's songs?
In 1972, the fledgling Miyuki Nakajima was asked a question by the Japanese poet Shuntaro Tanigawa: "What's the point of being a singer?" "Accustomed to Loneliness" is Miyuki Nakajima, who has never been married in her life, a beautiful imagination of love when she was young. The inspiration for "Lipstick" came from a street-side woman who traveled from the countryside to the city to find her husband thousands of miles away. "Happiness" was written by her friend Kobayashi Kyoko, encouraging her to be positive, optimistic and open-minded. "Riding on the Back of the Silver Dragon" compares the scalpel to the silver dragon and praises the greatness of the doctor's profession.
Yes, the meaning of being a singer is narrative, lyric, praise, and encouragement. But in the end it's for expression. Joys and sorrows, love and hate. Just like Tang Dynasty poet Bai JuyiAs said: "Articles are written for the times, and poems are written for the events."
is moving without being pretentious, simple yet elegant; perhaps, this is the secret of the genius singer Miyuki Nakajima, who will never fail. .
