Miyuki Nakajima Japanese Smile From a typhoon journey in Hawaii, which seems completely out of character for her, to the ultimate "old man & OL watching," gourmet food critiques, a collection of exquisite "Words of the Month," and memories from her student days, she's off to Australia! This tough yet flexible essay by Nakajima will soothe the hearts of high school students who have just experienced heartbreak and OLs who are hesitating about changing jobs. A candid "snapshot of laughter," now available in paperback. Contents The Usual Nakajima's Chapter (Me and Hawaii; Hawaii in a Storm Questions for the Old Man! Delicious Nakajima) The "Words of the Month" Chapter (Words of the Month) I Wrote This Kind of Stuff Chapter (Rain vs. Travel If You Travel with Someone My "Woman of Shinjuku" and more) Japanese Smile Chapter (Me and Los Angeles - Entry Edition Japanese Smile) People Appearing Yūmiri Yanagi, Kazuo Seo, Shizuka Kudo, Akari Uchida Yuko Asano, Shigeru Suzuki, Shuntaro Tanikawa, Karajuro Sō Kuramoto, Kyohei Tsutsumi From Reviews A book where you can see a different side of "Miyuki Nakajima" in her everyday life, apart from her worldview in her songs, such as her unusual journeys to Hawaii, Los Angeles, and Australia, her "old man theory," gourmet food, and live tours. The language is a bit rough, haha. The written and spoken words are not necessarily the same, but she probably speaks like this (in her lyrics, it's like "ari, ka"). You can enjoy a Miyuki Nakajima who is about two flavors different from the Miyuki Nakajima who sings in this book. According to the commentary by Yūmiri Yanagi, it's like "reading a radio," and Miyuki Nakajima's wild talk comes out. She frolics in Hawaii and is hit by a typhoon, dreams of Los Angeles, and eagerly devours sweets while working on concerts and recordings. Because she has a delicate drop within her outwardly energetic self, she can create such songs. I was happy to know that she likes Shuntaro Tanikawa. Essays from 87-94. It's probably around the time she was at her peak. The story of when she moved from Nippon Broadcasting to NHK. In those days, NHK couldn't even mention company names or product names, and there was a "beep" sound effect.
