Miyuki Nakajima Fight!!

A cheering song from Miyuki Nakajima to everyone who is living each day to the fullest.

It has been covered by a lineup of distinguished artists, including Takuro Yoshida, Noriyuki Makihara, and Masaharu Fukuyama.

This work was released in 1994 as a double A-side single together with the hit song “Sora to Kimi no Aida ni” (Between the Sky and You).

Milk 32Nakajima Miyuki58rank/position

Milk 32 English Subtitles – Hikari Mitsushima

Milk 32, which poignantly captures the feelings of a woman heartbroken in love, is a hidden gem from the 1978 album Say You Love Me.

With relatively gentle melodic ups and downs, it’s perfect for karaoke.

Its acoustic vibe is also appealing, making it a great choice when you want to sing in a slightly ennui mood and relax.

To avoid a monotonous delivery, try adding contrast between the first half and the second half for an even better atmosphere.

Miyuki Nakajima “Keisha (Incline)” / by soko

This song begins with a heavy, solemn intro.

The protagonist is an old woman.

In the bright, upbeat chorus it says, “Growing old is a wonderful thing, being forgetful is a wonderful thing,” but in the end, when it says, “If the number of sad memories exceeds the level of saturation, isn’t there nothing left to do but forget?” it becomes painfully clear just how much sorrow those words carry.

I feel that around this time Miyuki-san began moving away from breakup songs and started writing songs that focus on “humanity.”

Friendship Miyuki Nakajima [cover]

The song “Friendship,” included on Miyuki Nakajima’s 1981 album Ringe-tsu (Full Term), is a deeply moving track that expresses friendship without directly using words like “precious.” Nakajima’s voice and the melody are a perfect match, resulting in an exceptionally accomplished piece.

Relay of Life <'04 Yakai Version>

This is a work that deeply stirs the listener’s heart, themed around the grand chain of life.

After being performed in the 2004 stage production Yakai, the song was included on the acclaimed 2005 November release Tensei TEN-SEI.

It was also chosen as the theme song for the New Year’s special on Friday Prestige, A Woman’s Lifetime: Chiaki Mukai—The Woman Who Chased Her Dream into Space.

Even dreams that cannot be fulfilled in a single lifetime are passed on like a baton to the next generation.

That gentle yet stern message really sets the heart aflame.

It’s a profound masterpiece that feels like a quiet push on your back when you reach a crossroads in life.

Summer Souvenir - Miyuki Nakajima - Solo Acoustic Cover

The protagonist senses her boyfriend’s betrayal yet forgives him anyway…

Was it by chance or on purpose? A photo sent by a friend shows her boyfriend with a woman she doesn’t know…

She wants to ask, but can’t—because she still loves him…

A gentle melody set against a cruel reality embodies Miyuki Nakajima, the queen of heartbreak songs.

The first time I heard this song was when TOKIO happened to be singing it on a TV I’d turned on without thinking.

I went, “Huh?” and said, “This song kind of sounds like Miyuki Nakajima,” and my child said, “Oh yeah, I think I heard they had her write it for them.” I remember being impressed that you can recognize Miyuki Nakajima’s world even when someone else is singing her songs.
