Please answer the question about Izumi Sakai. Thank you.

This is a documentary article written by the author ートブック for my sister's life experience. You can have a look if you are interested. ?

foreword

Goodbye, Izumi Sakai.

He made his debut in Izumi Sakai in the name of Izumi Sakai at 199 1. The total sales volume of single (42) and album (17) is about 362 10000, ranking eighth among singers of all ages and becoming a top artist.

The first million-dollar single "Don't Give Up" was chosen as the theme song of high school baseball tryouts. At the same time, 1993, the single "Endless Dreams" sung with Zhuo Xiong, the coach of the giant army at that time (because the word "island" is not a common Chinese character, he is used to writing it as "Zhuo Xiong"), has also become a hot topic.

Although Izumi Sakai has always insisted on not performing on the public stage, he is one of the most representative artists in the 1990s and is very popular in the world.

However, Izumi Sakai, whose real name is Sachiko Xing Zi, fell off the ramp of Keio University Affiliated Hospital in Shinonomachi, Tokyo on the morning of May 26th, and died of traumatic skull injury (brain injury) at 3pm on the 27th, at the age of 40.

Izumi Sakai: Although Shuishui had a hysterectomy in June last year (2007), cancer cells were found to have metastasized to the lungs in March this year, and she was hospitalized again in April.

Although he may have committed suicide due to illness, according to the firm, Izumi Sakai was scheduled to release an album and hold a national tour this fall, and insisted on writing lyrics or discussing work with relevant personnel in the ward.

Moreover, lung cancer is still in its early stage, and "the treatment results are initially effective" (office staff). Other staff also said that "she didn't lose her hair because of the influence of anticancer drugs, and it seems that there is no change. Overcoming disease' is her mantra. "

With her pure voice and transparent sweet music, Izumi Sakai, as the core artist of BEING, a record production company, was active in the music scene in 1990s together with B'z, WANDS and T-BOLAN. Since her debut, she has gained mysterious popularity with her "Izumi Sakai style" that she didn't perform on the public stage, but it is said that in recent years, she often said "I hope to appear in front of fans more often".

The first time to break this state was the first national tour held about three years ago. When the audience cheered when they first saw Living Izumi Sakai, Miss Sakai said approachable, "I have always attached great importance to lyrics, so please listen to this feeling." Just as people's impression of Izumi Sakai changed from mysterious Izumi Sakai to approachable Izumi Sakai, the disease came unexpectedly. It is said that Miss Sakai weighed only 30 kilograms before her death and was very thin.

Although few people know the true face of Izumi Sakai, people who are familiar with Miss Sakai say, "She is as refreshing as a boy." "Even at the shooting scene, people who wear casual clothes and finish the shooting with great vigour from the beginning" (colleague). Although she was told that she had cancer, until the end, she really wanted to come back to work. Because of this, the staff of the firm and of course the fans are the same, so it's hard to say how sad they are.

Izumi Sakai entered the entertainment circle through a trial from a company employee. Because of her good image, she participated in public activities as a racing queen. However, one day when she went to Karaok with her staff, her singing skills were unexpectedly recognized, which opened her way as a singer.

The life of this "modern Cinderella" came to an end in just 40 years.

Mourn for Tetsuro Oda and others

Since the morning of 27th, the-BEING Group, a record company owned by Osaka and Tokyo, has set up flower stands and bookkeeping desks. Fans who learned the bad news of Izumi Sakai's death through reports began to gather here in the afternoon to remember Izumi Sakai.

In the report of Sakai Spring in スポーツツツ magazine, the music critic Mr. Inoue Takashi said: "She appeared in the11990s when the principle of music profit first prevailed, and left a good impression on everyone. Just like rubbing her back gently, frankness that won't make people unhappy is also her characteristic. She used the simplicity of singing and the purity of listening to build an era with many potential fans. It's really a pity that I had expected her to have more new development of personality characteristics. "

Mr. Tetsuro Oda, he wrote Izumi Sakai's popular songs, such as Don't give up, swing miss, etc. , unable to hide his surprise, said, "I can't find any words to describe it. I didn't even think about breaking up in this way. " Moreover, he commented, "I think it is my pride to create works with her."

The trio Dean's representative tracks "Spread Your Wings" and "Don't Move Your Eyes" were written by Izumi Sakai, who said that they were "very surprised by such a sudden thing".

Singer Mori Shinichi's 2004 single Goodbye, Shadow of Youth was written by Izumi Sakai. Mori Jinyi commented, "This song has been well received by people of all ages, which makes me feel very happy. It is a pity that she is outstanding in talent. "

It is said that in the ward where Izumi Sakai died, there were pajamas that had just been taken off and not folded.

It happens that the affiliated hospital of Keio University is a hospital for treating hepatitis C..

Wake and farewell ceremony

The vigil for Izumi Sakai, who died suddenly on May 27th, started at 6pm on the 29th and was held in Dounei Funeral Home.

Since only relatives attended the secret burial, only a dozen family members were present, and friends and colleagues in the entertainment circle did not attend.

Although many people came to interview at the venue, the staff of the firm said, "Because it is a secret burial, nothing can be revealed."

It is reported that Izumi Sakai's sudden death has passed overnight. From early morning till late at night, many fans go to the altar set up by their office in Roppongi, Tokyo with flowers in their hands. Beside the altar, there is a live DVD image. Many fans shed tears again and again and looked at the old Izumi Sakai again and again. According to the staff, more than 2,000 fans went to mourn after verification by Osaka Office.

According to the daily album data of the public trust list, the Best Izumi Sakai Gold released last year rose from 100 to the sixth place, while four works rose rapidly to 100.

According to affiliated firms, among the online sales giants "Amazon", there are also CD shops with Izumi Sakai's works as the representative of "Izumi Sakai Best", which have been added to production due to the emergency crisis.

On the 30th, only family and very close friends attended the farewell ceremony, and * * * counted ten people. Journalists are forbidden to enter, starting from 1 1 in the morning and lasting about 1 hour. The funeral was held at 0: 07 pm. When the family members stood in front of Izumi Sakai's coffin and the portrait made by publicity photos, there were sobbing voices all around.

Fans waiting near the venue shouted "Thank you, Quanshui!" Go to the hearse.

The legal name is "Cheng Xiang Fu Xin Nv Ling (Cheng Xiang Fu Xin Nv Ling)"

Last year's best album "Best Songs" rose to the third place in the public trust list.

Also in the online sales giant "Amazon" won the first place in the music charts.

On June 27th, Izumi Sakai/Izumi Sakai memorial meeting was held in Tokyo Castle Peak Funeral Home.

Total single sales: 175 1. 1 10,000 copies (42 works, 7th in all previous dynasties, 2nd in all previous dynasties for female singers).

The total sales volume is one million: 3 singles and 9 albums.

First place in history: 40 singles won top 10 (female singer or lead singer), and 9 consecutive albums won millions of sales.

The first part is Izumi Sakai without makeup.

Real name? Yukiko Fukuchi

Izumi Sakai's real name is this.

Xing Zi, Karimachi, Izumi Sakai, was born on February 6, 1969/kloc-0.

This is only a public profile, and it is also said that she was actually born in 1967.

But for her, there is almost no change from her debut to now, and she has always remained young when she debuted.

Because her blood type is type A, she looks bright and clear. Looking at her lyrics also makes people feel that she is an elegant and pure beautiful woman, so she looks very young at any time.

? Height 165CM, measurement B85W59H87 is in good shape.

Izumi Sakai is from Qinye City, Kanagawa Prefecture. When he was in the fourth grade, he moved here from nearby Hiratsuka City.

Yukiko Kuchi, a primary school student, is also a very attractive girl in the class, attracting the attention of male students. Therefore, it seems that there is also a slightly poor memory of being the "first object to lift the skirt".

Xing Zi's appearance, study, painting, sports, etc. Also let the students sigh. But she is not arrogant, but very docile.

At that time, boys called her kindly and girls nicknamed her. She is an excellent student and was rated as "a harmonious, docile and excellent child" by the teacher.

After entering middle school, her beauty was polished more outstanding, and the rumor that "there is a super cute girl with particularly white skin" also spread to other schools.

She is a super idol. In the track and field competition of community activities, boys gathered from various schools to watch Xing Zi Kamazi.

At this time, Yukiko Kuchi was very different from her docile primary school days, and she became a very lively person. Of course, I like singing very much and performing in front of my friends.

After entering high school, she was selected as a miss of cultural sacrifice. At this time, her beauty went further. The beauty of Izumi Sakai can stand the test.

She still likes singing. It is said that at the end of tennis training, my son sang "Red Sweet Bean" with a racket instead of a microphone.

By the way, the popular hairstyle at this time is "son hairstyle".

Enter a short-term university after graduating from high school. Go to the seaside in southern Hunan with my companions every day.

The inauguration ceremony decided to choose a large real estate company in Shinjuku. It takes 1 hour 20 minutes from her home in Qinye City to the company, so I give up to her perseverance.

In the second year of white-collar life, I took the street draft as an opportunity to step into the entertainment circle.

From this point of view, what can be specifically cited as an artist's file seems to be nothing, but the love of singing and beauty are excellent.

Father and training college

The training center in the title refers to the driving school that has obtained the driving license of motor vehicles and motorcycles. It is divided into two types: recognition and non-recognition by prefectural party committees. Most people go to accredited driving schools.

Izumi Sakai was born in Qinye City, Kanagawa Prefecture, but what he said here is in Hala City, Yi Shi.

Isihara City is a small town adjacent to Qinye City, which is famous for being the place where monks and singers buried their souls in Muromachi era. It takes about 15 minutes by tram from Izumi Sakai's hometown to Hala, Yi Shi.

Izumi Sakai's father works in a motor vehicle driving school in Yiyuan. Asked about the students who had studied there at that time, they said, "Ah ~ Mr. Pu Chi. It is very famous here. The teaching method is very gentle.

Yes, yes, whistling teaching, if you play "don't give up", you will probably be stopped by him. Whether these are true or not, it is an interesting anecdote to let people know that Izumi Sakai's father is really happy with his daughter's activities.

Perhaps Izumi Sakai's father sang "Don't give up" in his heart to secretly support the students.

Yearning for the pink girl

Pink Girl debuted with Pepper Police Department on August 25th, 1976.

It was born in the TV program "The Birth of a Star! Michaelis and KEI, composed of two people, combined popular songs such as Carmen 77, Simberta on the Shore and UFO.

With strong singing and dancing as a weapon, it became a national idol group as soon as it debuted.

1981March 3 1 day. After the dissolution concert was held in Hou Yuan Gymnasium, they went solo. Now they are active in the front line respectively. Michaelis actively cooperated with Mrs Animetal, and KEI changed her name to Keiko Masuda, which is a popular sparrow. Sometimes there are joint concerts.

When the legendary star, Pink Girl, became a big hit, Izumi Sakai, a primary school student, was not only a top student at the conference, but also joined a drama club, secretly dreaming of an artist.

She likes reading entertainment magazines such as Star very much. It is said that the pink girl is the best imitation in the club. Since it's called imitation, the dance must be great. Because that's right. That's what kids do.

In middle school, at the request of her classmates, she once performed her stunt in the toilet, imitating and singing the songs of Naoko Kawai and Seiko Matsuda.

Youth is a memorable story for the Izumi Sakai generation whose idols are in full swing.

The awakening of music

Every time a new song comes out, what kind of musical course did Izumi Sakai and Izumi Sakai go through to achieve today's musicality?

Other projects have also been introduced. As a student, Izumi Sakai liked to listen to and sing the songs of idol singers such as Seiko Matsuda, Naoko Kawai and Pink Lady, as well as the popular songs at that time. Just an ordinary music fan.

However, at the age of 19, she was invited by her friends to see Sadr's concert. Since then, great changes have taken place in the fate of Izumi Sakai.

By the way, Sade is an artist who combines elements of jazz and soul music. Like Izumi Sakai, she is also a female lead singer.

Izumi Sakai was shocked at the concert. "I want to sing too!" Since then, this idea has become more intense.

Ted is certainly not the only one who introduced Izumi Sakai into the music field. "After listening to Quincy Jones's Bullfighting of Love, I think maybe I can change myself with music." (Public Trust List 9 1/7/ 1)

Although only Sade, Quincy Jones and Blondie were introduced, it was enough for Izumi Sakai to work hard. Of course, she also listens to the songs of other artists.

She and Natsuki Okamoto belong to the same team. Afterwards, the photo album revealed the photos of the two wearing Cup Noddle swimsuits, but it was not clearly stated at the time.

In addition, she was also selected by JAS as the freight flight salesman of JAS Freight, and also appeared in karaoke with Dong Ying. Queen-related Dongyingka OK video.

At that time, sexy videos and semi-nude photo albums in underwear were released in the name of Xing Zi in the kettle. Sometimes it appears in magazines as a swimsuit. For herself, these "sexy jobs" are probably made with the feeling of idols.

Because becoming a first-class female artist was a dream at that time, maybe she took these manual jobs as a link to improve herself.

This time, due to the death of Quanshui, we can see Izumi Sakai's swimsuit photo in the magazine again. Unlike slim now, she is plump, full of young and healthy look and full of unique charm at that time. Racing queen

Before re-entering the entertainment circle in the name of Izumi Sakai, Izumi Sakai was Suzuka Cup Noddle? A female racing driver of a racing team. Although this is a familiar story for fans. But we still know it.

Karaoke in Dongying? queen

When Izumi Sakai was 20 years old, she worked as a karaoke director in 1989. The queen who is one year older than Naomi Yamashita is more active.

The stage name at that time was, of course, Yukiko Kuchi.

Karaoke in Dongying? The queen is a competition based on singing, acting and swimsuit.

For Izumi Sakai, singing is no problem, plus her outstanding beauty. Although her acting skills are not good, she has reached a certain level by virtue of her natural expressive force when singing.

That's right. She showed her determination to become a female artist. It may be said that it is unexpected and reasonable to choose from 272 1 person.

It is said that she and her partner Naomi Yamashita soon became good friends. "I feel that we have known each other for more than two months. We are very angry. One side is tough, the other side gives in, and vice versa. There is no time to dislike each other. " (1June 29th, 989, Gem of the Week)

Such a good relationship lasted for a year. "I am the kind of person who can have feelings even if I have only worked once. I soon fell in love with Naoko's undisguised personality. " (1June 29th, 989, Gem of the Week)

actress

When Izumi Sakai made her debut at the age of 20, her goal was to become an actress.

She described her strong yearning for actresses like this:

"I want to be an intellectual and individual actress in the future. In short, try to get an album first. " (1June 29th, 989, Gem of the Week)

"I really want to be an actor. So now, I am learning how to get my charm recognized. " (DIME90/ 1/ 1)

Until he made his debut as Izumi Sakai, he was active on the stage under the name of "Xing Zi in the kettle". When she debuted, it was said that people around her, including herself, thought Seiko Matsuda was the prototype. Let's not talk about the reason. We know that our son's real name is Puchifa, which is the same as Xing Zi's last name.

What if it's like Suzuki? Tanaka? Nakamura,? A very common name like "Kato" is definitely not like this. It is precisely because "Puchi" is not an ordinary name that it becomes an anecdote.

"Happened to be born in kurume like miss child. So I used to feel like a distant relative, and I thought,' Can I be a star? (DIME90/ 1/ 1)

Hey? Izumi Sakai's birthplace should be Qinye City, Kanagawa Prefecture ... Before coming to Qinye City, he lived in Hiratsuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Maybe he lived in kurume before Hirazuka, or he told kurume to cater to his son's image. This is a mystery. Moreover, this time it shows that she is not related to Seiko Matsuda.

Izumi Sakai, who has a slightly arbitrary idea about "Puchi = Star", joked, "So, if the names are the same, are everyone artists?" At that time, she confidently replied, "No, for me, it's like one of the motivations to become an actor from high school, and one of the opportunities to aspire to enter the entertainment circle." (Dime 90/11) Since then, she has shown flexibility in her mind.

Quanshuihe lose weight

Izumi Sakai is often regarded as a synonym for beauty. But she seems to have no confidence in herself. I used to think that "my face is very fat,' like a meat steamed stuffed bun in a well village house'" (Zhou Baoshi 89/6/29), and I didn't like a round face.

Later, Izumi Sakai thought she was slim and had a beautiful oval face, but when she debuted as an idol for the first time, she was really fat and round. Even so, even now, she can compete with artists.

The post-match period is also 85, 59, 87 girth, 165CM height and a charming figure weighing 48KG. The image of wearing tights has become a topic of discussion among fans.

Baby fat is cute, even among slim people, it is dazzling and popular. A sensual figure is very attractive to men, but she doesn't seem satisfied herself. I also took part in aerobic exercise.

He once said: "I want to keep my chest and buttocks and lose weight in a feminine way." (1June 29th, 989, Gem of the Week)

Voice of crystal

One of the charms of Izumi Sakai is Izumi Sakai's voice.

Izumi Sakai's songs are full of clear crystal sounds. Even with a distorted guitar, you can make that sound perfectly, which can only be said to be wonderful.

When singing Izumi Sakai's songs in karaoke, many women are far behind the spring-like sound quality. Surprisingly, when she first started, Izumi Sakai seemed dissatisfied with her voice. She hated her voice because she longed for a hoarse voice. Although I think so, it may be because the vocal cords are strong and not hoarse at all.

Izumi Sakai's music really has to be that kind of sound. There is no more appropriate voice. I agree with that. Now with these songs, she basically understands this.

As people around you said at that time, everyone thought that the charm of Izumi Sakai was not a hard-core rock sound, but a soft voice, just like a voice with a pop melody.

When recording songs

Izumi Sakai's practice when recording songs is to turn off the lights in the room, close the curtains and close them completely.

There is also that she is worried that she has no strength and no state when she is urged to record songs.

On the other hand, Izumi Sakai doesn't like getting up early. He is a "Nightcrawler". Because I always go to bed in the morning, recording is naturally late at night.

? Between recording songs, she either concentrates on reading the books she brought, or eats the barbecue lunch ordered by take-away and changes her mood in her own way.

She is the type with a weak voice and a strong pursuit of effect. Therefore, although Izumi Sakai is far away from TV programs and concerts, he doesn't care too much about his own voice.

Drinks are bad for the throat, such as honey, lemon or pear, but coffee in the studio is mixed with milk and caffeine, such as sugar and milk tea.

Probably because of physical fatigue caused by recording, I unconsciously want to drink sweet things like coffee and milk black tea with sugar and milk.

Lyrics and inspiration

"When I write the lyrics, it is not so much my own experience as it is connected with the emotional tentacles. Most of them write down what they feel like a problem. I always listen to the melody first, then pay attention to the information I thought of at that time or write inspired words. " (June 99 /4)

It has always been emphasized that poetry is different from lyrics, and Izumi Sakai, who is in harmony with melody, must be taken into account in lyrics. Even in the process of such careful lyrics, we can't ignore emotional speech.

She said that the lyrics of "Painful ぃくらぃがぁふれてぃるよ" were also written with the first impression. This situation seems to often appear in Izumi Sakai's lyrics.

It is Izumi Sakai's lyrics to connect the "felt things" like a jigsaw puzzle to form a story.

In other ways, anyone can be a hero in Izumi Sakai's lyrics. It has been pointed out that most of the protagonists in every song are Izumi Sakai himself.

In other words, the official reason is that "writing with sensibility is better than writing with experience." That's what happened. I don't mean "it was like this at that time, but I thought so later", but what I thought was the focus of writing. This is Izumi Sakai style.

Ishikawa woodpecker

Ishikawa, a poet in Meiji era, 1886 was born in NanIwate Prefecture on February 20th. With his unique three-line writing style and fresh theme of "singing life", he was endowed with the reputation of genius and was named Meiji-Taisho Modern Short Song History. 19 12 died of tuberculosis in April at the age of 27. Representative works include a handful of sand and sad toys.

What's the relationship between Izumi Sakai and Ishikawa Woodpecker? Izumi Sakai once said, "When I was lost, Ishikawa's' friends, friends, friends and grandfathers' saw it, spent it, bought it and got married. (JUNON/99/4)

From her reciting the lyrics of Ishikawa Woodpecker, we can probably see her depth. Even if you remember short songs, ordinary people are at best only a selection of short songs recited by 100 people.

Speaking of pecking at wood, his most famous sentence should be "はたらけどはたらけどががなら". "In order to pay off debts. I stared at my hand and thought deeply about why. "Even if this is the work of Ishikawa Woodpecker, isn't this a world completely unrelated to Izumi Sakai?

It's not only the Ishikawa Woodpecker that gives Izumi Sakai strength, it is actually included in the 8 cm CD of Forever, and the cover of Boys Town Gang's Can't Take My Eyes off You is one of them.

"I think the lyrics of the chorus' I love you baby' seem to say to me' I love you, cheer up' (laughs)" (JUNON/99/4)

We listeners have always been inspired by Izumi Sakai's songs, so we must feel the same way about Izumi Sakai's own strength from music.

Izumi Sakai, seemingly smooth sailing, had his ups and downs in his life. At this time, music gave him strength and let her move on.

This is really because Izumi Sakai realized the way out of this situation, so that he could move on. Although she denies it herself, she must have a strong character inside.

Apart from music, Izumi Sakai thinks the inspiration comes from letters from fans. I'm glad to read all this carefully.

I deeply feel that she is so good at changing her mood. When there is no progress in music creation, she either changes the sheets or buys flowers to decorate, so that her mood will return to zero and she will leave the music temporarily.

A fountain that likes painting.

Izumi Sakai likes painting very much, and has profound attainments in painting.

I often go to the gallery to see pictures during my break. Although I prefer painting to painting, it seems that I really want to start learning oil painting.

Her favorite painters are Franco Modigliani, Redong, Rotleck, Picasso and Xia Jiaer. She will also be actively exposed to art when she goes overseas.

I have been to Europe, Los Angeles, London, Nice, Monaco and other places to film. Izumi Sakai really wants to go to Spanish and European countries. She once said that she wanted to live in Paris or Vienna in the future. If you are in Vienna, enjoy music; If you are in Paris, visit the Louvre, Orsay, Orange Orchard and other art galleries.

Will she concentrate on her interests and forget her work?

Then again, there are many galleries in Paris. The spring water is not because of work, but because I want to go. 1 should actually be Paris.

It's just that there are many Japanese tourists in Paris. Overseas, if you meet a Japanese, it should be the Japanese who will be noticed inadvertently. So it may be more eye-catching than in Japan.

In Japan, Izumi Sakai may be the only artist who can go out freely.

Your own personality?

"(if you want to describe your character in one sentence) what will it be! ? Recently, I can't even figure out my own personality (laughs) "(ォリコ1253199/2/23).

Although when evaluating Izumi Sakai's character, everyone said "steady" and "shy" with one voice, but in fact? Judging from the impression given by the lyrics, it is likely to be a very gentle but strong girl image.

Izumi Sakai is an Aquarius. According to divination, these statements are very close to her image:

Philanthropists and pacifists treat everyone equally.

Independent, sometimes pessimistic, not trusting others easily.

I don't like to be different from others.

At work, I learn quickly and have good concentration and way of thinking.

Concentrate on your work, erin brockovich. The statement "Don't trust others" is consistent with the image of "You can't open your heart" in The Spring.

Moreover, spring water is blood type. Is perfectionism also related to blood type? If it is type B, the behavior style may change. ......

In other ways, she said, "I don't know my own personality." Is this the result of analyzing myself in the process of writing lyrics? Perhaps while analyzing ourselves and looking at ourselves objectively, we also noticed the complexity of people.

Such Izumi Sakai has been saying to himself "I am a slow-witted person" from the beginning of her debut. Because the engine starts slowly, it always takes more time to finish the work than other artists. Because you are slow, you have to work several times harder than others. She keeps telling herself this.

Slow start is not a bad thing. Because this is the result of synthesizing various situations, considering the situation and coping methods of various occasions, and exploring various possibilities.

Maybe it's good to advance by leaps and bounds, but you can't help thinking about how to avoid failure as much as possible, and how to make a good work as much as possible, and start doing it. Izumi Sakai may be such a cautious faction.

On the other hand, combined with Izumi Sakai who once loved sports and actively exercised, people are really complicated.
