/kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, Xing Ming Yi Ming came to Tokyo with his dream of becoming a jazz pianist. Since then, he has been fascinated by electronic musical instruments that can play all kinds of timbres. 197 1 year. At the age of 25, he won the highest prize in the JVC National Electronic Organ Competition. After working hard in Tokyo for almost ten years, he felt unprecedented physical and mental exhaustion. Just as he was about to have a good rest, he received an electronic piano teacher in Morioka (the capital of Iwate Prefecture, a famous scenic spot in Iwate Prefecture not far to the north), and Xing Liangming's studio was on the sky lake at the foot of Iwateyama, hence the name "Ji Shen").
Northeast China is the birthplace of Yamato civilization. On the ancient land, there are thousands of years of traditional culture sprouting from the rope-writing era. The eternal and clear wind blows back and forth between the towering mountains, drawing out the memories of countless long years. Starwood Yoshiaki was first moved by the representative folk song "Chasing Cows in the South" in Iwate Prefecture, the traditional arts and folk customs in other parts of Northeast China and the hearts of people living in inland areas. Starwood Yiming called the northeast folk music "the song of the northerners' souls" as the source of his previous jazz music. These simple and colorful folk arts have become the main source of creative inspiration for Xingmu Yiming.
1980, "Himekami せんせぃしょん" was established, and the first work "Aoのの" was broadcast as the background music of a radio program, which aroused the attention and inquiry of the audience. 198 1 February, the single "Aoのん" was released, and the first album of the same name was released six months later. 1984, the band changed its name to "Himekami" and became a group with only Xing.
For more than twenty years, Ji Shen's music has been widely used as the BGM of TV programs and the theme song of film and television programs. Many people will unconsciously hear Ji Shen's music when watching the program and be attracted by it. The most famous is Maxi single [Poetry of God] released by 1998 (the theme song of the documentary "Poetry of God" broadcast by TBS at 8 pm on Sunday). The album Wowen Ocean Current (the third series of wind rope released since 1996) containing this song also won the planning award of the 40th Japan Record Awards that year. In 2000, the theme song "Future Pupils" created for the TBS series documentary "Future Pupils" reflecting the lives of children all over the world also won many praises.
As one of the leading figures in Japan's new era, Ji Shen put a lot of energy into this concert. Since the Datura Concert in Pure Land of Maoyue Temple in Pingquan, Ji Shen has spread all over Japan. Ji Shen held most concerts in the wild, and many times they were very successful. In addition to the farewell concert in Pingquan mentioned earlier, there are also the concert in Xiaojing Farm, the concert in Yamanaka of Aomori Prefecture and the concert in Tsutsugaru Thirteen Lakes in Aomori Prefecture. In addition to reflecting the local traditional culture and creating new folk music for our own people, we also actively develop overseas and attract musical elements from other countries, such as the permission of the famous Chinese erhu player ("Hua" in Wind Rope is) who has cooperated with us many times. In the autumn of 2000, concerts commemorating the 20th anniversary of Ji Shen were held in Egypt and Israel, which made the world know more about Ji Shen. The Millennium Cloister, released after returning to China, absorbed the local music in the Middle East and sounded different.
Starting from 1995, Xing Jiji, the eldest son of Xingmu Yiming, also joined Jishen as a concert accompaniment, and organized the chorus "Voice of Himekami" which is good at northeast folk. Jishen is not only Yoshiaki, but also Himekami.
On June 29th, 2003, the long-awaited debut album "Green Flower" after switching to Toshiba EMI was finally released, including three songs "Haiming かり", and "Rain のかんざししししししししししし12 For example, the title song "Green Flower" was born out of the traditional Okinawa folk song. The whole album is full of beautiful lyric melody, which conveys the joy, joy and sadness of human beings and the grandeur and ethereal nature to the hearts of listeners, making people feel a lot.
In April 2004, after Xingming released his 22nd album "Talking about the Wind", she was ready to start a national concert tour. In June, he was hospitalized in Morioka City due to poor health. Therefore, the new system of "Himekami" centered on the track set continues to perform on tour. June 2004 65438+1 October 1 Sunday morning1died of heart failure in Morioka Municipal Hospital in Iwate Prefecture at the age of 58. His funeral was held quietly in Maoyue Temple in Pingquan Town on October 24th, 2004/KLOC-0.
