Outcome


Akina Nakamori, born in Tokyo in 1965, is one of the most popular singers of the 1980s in Japan. Within two years of her debut, she managed to make her music top hits most of which sold over 400 thousand copies. She was in a relationship with a Japanese singer, Masahiko Kondo and attempted to commit suicide in July 1989 as Masahiko was having affair with someone else. Her suicide and broken relationship with Masahiko were hard hit for both of her physical and mental health. She lost weight drastically and grew haggard gradually. Her career was almost suspended and she never reached the peak of her music life again. I really like her and feel sorry for her going through such a huge shock which leads to her talents wasted. I intend to create a video to show how she has changed all through these years and express my pity for her. I decided to pick one of her songs and collect different versions she sang at different ages. Finally, I picked DESIRE which was one of Akina’s most well-known songs released in 1986. Through remixing those versions, we can compare Akina’s physical appearance and find out that she aged quickly. I believe, without such an unfortunate experience, her career and personal life may be much better.
