Mika Nakashima

A quite unique voice and a very peculiar looks. Two features which describe very well the Japanese singer, model and actress Mika Nakashima (1983.03.19, Kagoshima), one of the most successful J-Pop stars. Far away from the standarized, high-pitched, corny voices of most of them, specially the otaku favourites, Nakashima charms with her "intermediate", warm, melodious voice. Her songs, which my appear simplistic pop at first sight, have positive and sweet lyrics, even the cheerful ones (as the song you may hear at the end of this post).

Mika Nakashima - My Sugar Cat

Nakashima is a woman who was sure from her childhood she wanted to be a singer. So much she dared to refuse to go to senior high school. She was lucky, because her first demo allowed to become the main theme singer of a TV drama, something that guarantees a temporary but intense fame in Japan. Everything else came as a product of her huge talent and, of course, her charm.

Otakus should know her better for some soft songs (Find the way, Sakurairo Maukoro, and Yuki no Hana) and for her participation at a movie based on one of the most successful shōjo manga at the moment, acting and performing the main theme song.

So you can delight with her splendid voice, I’ll share with you One Survive (album version), one of those retro songs I really like. Have a nice weekend.
