Akina Nakamori’s classic and popular songs

We would like to introduce songs by Akina Nakamori, a female singer who debuted in 1982.

Akina Nakamori made her debut with the song “Slow Motion” in 1981 after appearing on the popular TV show “Star Tanjō!” which produced many stars at the time.

She received high acclaim not only as a singer—winning the Japan Record Award—but also as an actress, starring in television dramas.

Just before her debut, when discussion arose about what stage name to use, her agency reportedly suggested the name “Mori Asuna.” However, she declined, saying she wanted to sing under her real name, which her parents had given her.

Now please enjoy the songs of Akina Nakamori, who was immensely popular in the 1980s.
