Career, for the previous generation of Japanese, Izumi Sakai's voice means more energy. In particular, the song "Don't Give Up" ("No") is known as "the first inspirational song in Japan" and "the second national anthem". Thousands of people relied on its energy to survive the economic downturn in the 1990s, to cheer for the 20 10 Winter Olympics in Japan, and to survive the pain caused by the 20 1 1 earthquake. Even decades later, on the 10th anniversary of the "3 1 1 Great Earthquake Disaster" in Japan, the news of "Don't give up" came from various video stores. Izumi Sakai has harmed generations with noise, but her life span is only 40 years.
"Either you don't know her, or you will fall in love with her." Compared with songs, Izumi Sakai's own sense of superiority is unimaginably weak. She made her debut on 16, and only appeared in front of the masses seven times, including the farewell ceremony. The tour is only 1 time. In this case, it's really a surprise that Izumi Sakai can still become a Japanese super idol. Looking at the images she left behind, it's hard not to feel further. Nowadays, you can hardly see such a big-name star-even though she has a sweet face and is called "the most beautiful rock music song in Asia" by thousands of people; However, Izumi Sakai himself does not attach importance to "packaging".
She never wears heavy makeup. She uses a lot of nude makeup to deal with the audience, only paying attention to a fresh, crisp and neat dress, which is very simple. At that time, young people, both men and women, thought this girl was particularly cool, and realized for the first time that cool could have nothing to do with appearance. Izumi Sakai never hides her true self, so that in everyone's impression, she doesn't look like a gorgeous "superstar" at all, but more like an amateur girl who is suddenly pushed onto the performance stage: you can see that she is introverted and shy because she is not good at dealing with groups;
Pursuing dreams is not suitable for her to stand in front of the masses, even in the hottest situation-she simply left the performance stage and devoted herself to writing. The music variety show "Music Radio" from 65438 to 0993 was Izumi Sakai's last appearance on TV. Izumi Sakai, as its name implies, is as clean as a clear spring. Gossip news, erotic news and hot spots have nothing to do with her. No wonder the Japanese news media described Izumi Sakai like this: "You either don't know her or you will fall in love with her."
Izumi Sakai was not a superstar "Izumi Sakai" from the beginning. 1967, a little girl was born in Kanagawa Prefecture, and her parents named her Yukiko Kamachi. Xing Zi likes music and poetry since he was a child. In addition, he also likes to shoot art and painting. He has participated in sports teams and can also play ball. It is said that Haruko in Slam Dunk is based on her. Many times, she is a shy girl in literature, steady and complaining from the heart.
/kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, Xing Zi watched the performance of Sadr Orchestra and was shocked by their open-minded singing. For the first time in his life, he had the idea of becoming a singer. After graduation, Xing Zi resigned from the real estate enterprise for two years at first, and 1989 was discovered by the street star brokerage company, and then gradually set foot in the entertainment circle. However, Xing Zi's career as a singer did not begin. With a very good figure standard, she was assigned to be a female model, sometimes acting as a walk-on in TV series and even taking some photo albums. At that time, she was close to her ideal, and only planned some publicity and singing: in the rare video recording before Xing Zi became a singer, she wore rare heavy makeup and interacted diligently with a handful of people in the audience.
It's just that no one cares about her, and it's a little embarrassing. But at least when talking about her ideal, she seemed very happy: "Yukiko Kuchi, please support me. If I become a professional singer in science and technology, my name will probably change ~"-even though no one took her words to heart at that time. In fact, she is more determined than anyone else. Although she is not suitable for the present job, she is unwilling to give up. Fortunately, in August of 1990, at the age of 22, she was discovered by famous musicians. At the producer's request, Yukiko Kamachi announced that she would start her career under the name of "Izumi Sakai" and become the singer of ——Zard, the first Japanese women's rock band. She can finally express herself in her own voice.
That year, Izumi Sakai's first song EP "Goodbye My Loneliness" immediately reached the top ten in Japan's public trust list, setting a record for the first novice in Japan to become famous and debut.
No one who has dated Izumi Sakai has ever hated her. She is very concerned about the people around her, and her friends privately praise her as cute and reliable. Sometimes she is "an innocent child; Sometimes I will actively deal with difficulties and inspire others. "I am a reliable sister." Although Izumi Sakai doesn't want it to happen in front of the masses, it doesn't mean that she doesn't attach importance to fans. She cherishes fans' letters. If you pay attention, you can find the lyrics of a secret song written by her in 1996, "See つめてぃたぃね": "The guardians of 3G always see everyone in heaven." In fact, the lyrics of this song are adapted from a letter from a fan in Sendai. A high school teacher wrote to tell Shan Quanshui that a student he had taught in Class G, Grade 3, was a big fan of Shan Quanshui and died in a motorcycle accident. His name is "Watchman" and Shanquan wrote him into the lyrics of the song, like a repeated answer: "Sister will always remember you."
However, the accident came quickly. On May 26th, 2007, Izumi Sakai returned to the hospital ward after a walk and unfortunately fell down. At noon the next day, she died of severe head trauma. It turned out that a few days ago, she promised producer Nagato that she would return to the recording studio as soon as she was hospitalized, and planned to release her next solo album and tour in three years' time, and prepare for the release this fall in advance. Because of her sudden departure, all Japan was deeply saddened. Thousands of people couldn't believe it when they got the information, and then they wailed: "Sister also has a lot of songs to sing ..."
Before she died, she saved a whole box of lyrics, and there were more than 300 songs that had not been released yet. On the day of the memorial service, there were more than 40 thousand fans at the scene. At the end of the ceremony, they clapped their hands and sang the song "Don't give up" loudly, saying goodbye to this unchanging sister: "Thank you, sister Shan Quanshui." Up to now, many people still say good morning and good night to her when she is alive, and wish her a happy birthday on her birthday-if she were still here, she might be a handsome rock singer at the age of 54 now: as always, she will write and record more songs; If you are too tired, just read the letters written by fans and see what happiness and distress people have when they call her "Sister Shanquan". Time goes by. For those who can't remember her, the feeling of regret has already turned into gratitude: "Thank you for letting us know that there have been such happy people in the world before."
