Akina Nakamori, born on July 13, 1965, is a legendary Japanese singer and actress whose career began on May 1, 1982. Representing the 1980s, she became one of the most iconic female idol singers, delivering numerous hit songs. Her debut year, 1982, was known as a golden age for idols, and Nakamori was a prominent member of the "Hana no '82 Gumi" (The Blossoming Class of '82). She also showcased her talents as a comedienne.
Born in Ota Ward, Tokyo, and raised in Kiyose City, she pursued her education in local schools but left high school partway. Nakamori's career spanned various agencies before settling with HZ VILLAGE, and her current label is Universal Music Japan's "Utahime Records."
Her journey began when she sang Momoe Yamaguchi's "Yumesaki Annainin" on the TV audition show "Star Tanjou!" just before her 16th birthday. This led to a contract with Warner Pioneer. Her debut single "Slow Motion" in 1982 was followed by hits like "Shojo A," "Second Love," and "Kinku." Throughout the 1980s, she rivaled fellow superstar Seiko Matsuda and released iconic tracks such as "North Wing" and "Kazari Janai no yo Namida wa." In 1985 and 1986, Nakamori won consecutive Japan Record Awards with "Meu amor é..." and "DESIRE - Passion.".
By the age of 20, she had achieved remarkable success, becoming a top-tier artist. Her singles sold a total of over 9.3 million copies in the 1980s, ranking her as the top-selling female idol of the era. She won the Japan Record Sales Grand Prize four times between 1983 and 1987.
On January 24, Nakamori updated her official website to announce the establishment of her official fan club. She apologized for the delay in setting up a system to receive fan letters and gifts. She also shared a heartfelt message on Twitter, thanking fans for their patience and support.
Nakamori will release her latest live video work, "FANCLUB LIVE 'ALDEA Bar at Tokyo 2024'," on May 1, commemorating her 43rd debut anniversary.
