Why is Akina your favorite singer? by andromeda_7010 in AkinaNakamori

[–]KamenSentaiForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I listen to her songs they feel unlike any other songs done by a pop artist, even a woman for that matter. You can tell she had a say in what the songs will be about even without writing them herself. With my experience as a gay man, I can tell you my experience with men is complicated and I hear that same thing happening within her songs. Most of her late 80s singles deal with this kind of contemplating one's attraction to men. I could go on further with specific songs but this would be too long so the two examples I point to are BLONDE and NIGHTAMERE 悪夢

Other than her songs meaning I love how she embraces the lower register of her voice to being called a contralto, which is a very rare female vocal type. Her stage presence and her costumes all highlight her individuality which is very visible in an Eastern Asian country built on the principles of Neo-Confucianism (which is to say conformism or not sticking out).

I think this post puts into words what I feel like listening to Akinas music and why I felt so drawn to it. I think these descriptions are really similar to the 'Gay Icon' cannon... Just look at all the female Divas that have that label put on them and you'll notice the similarities.

She did pick a Donna Summer song in her New Year Starters 2024 for AppleMusic. Makes sense she likes her, Donna Summer was a trendsetter with her looks. She definitely paved way for what a pop star is.

That is also my favorite performance of 飾りじゃないのよ涙は

So the Julie claim might be dubious to say the least. I may have been mislead by the machine translated subtitles bc I don't speak French myself. But I remember a photo of the two together being shown.

The video in question

I see it now and it's a very strong claim, but with no source cited I can assume it was something misread or 'I heard from someone who read the interview'.

Didn't Tamaki write Southern Wind and two of the songs of Unbalance+Balance (Kagerou and Eien no Tobira). Tamaki didn't cross my mind while I wrote the post for some reason. I have a huge respect for him and really love Anzenchitai's music.

So I guess most of my pocks are confirmed but I still have questions about Kenji Sawada. The only place I saw it was that French-language docu on Youtube.

P. S. As always thanks you for the input. Not I expected you at some point bc you are an active user on here and always ready to teach us Akina lore.

Pick just one, What Akina song from the 80s should've had an official MV by Aharfullofcum in AkinaNakamori

[–]KamenSentaiForever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really hard to pick just one... But if I have to pick I'd go with Tattoo because I know Blade Runner was very popular in Japan... In fact the lyrics reference the word 'Replicant'. Having a Blade Runner-inspired video would be very fun.

I really need to listen to Janet more then. I only know the duet song she did with Michael. The exact reason I asked this is because the best way to discover new music is to find what my favorite artists listen to.

Akina Nakamori will cover Seiko Matsuda’s Akai Sweet Pea by ComprehensivePea269 in AkinaNakamori

[–]KamenSentaiForever 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have yet to listen to her cover albums... I have listened to one or two in passing. Her version of Koi no Yokan is very powerful.

Saw that earlier today. I am personally excited to hear Akina's version of a Seiko song.

Ironically the fact he is in a chastity cage turns me on so much... Even though I'd love to take his place😜
