The circular law of pop music symbolizes that when some new bands join, the old ones must quit. In the 1990s, major orchestras broke up almost every year. Checkers 1992, unicorn 1993, TMN 1994, access 1995. Although access's influence and status are slightly inferior to the previous bands, its soul figure DAISUKE ASAKURA, as a producer and songwriter, has a very important influence in his later music career. Access was founded in 1993. When they first started out, some people dreamed that they could be as popular as another two-person band B'z. With his superb singing skills, DAISUKE ASAKURA played on the magic keyboard and charmed thousands of fans. However, access has always been a shallow game. He used the word "graduation" to symbolize the dissolution of access, and their dream trip for three years came to an end.
199565438+1October 16, Osaka, Kobe and other Kansai areas suffered a magnitude 7 earthquake, and its severity was even comparable to that of the Tokyo earthquake of 1928. Japanese people are afraid that more serious events will happen in their country, so some inspirational and positive songs are very popular, such as Tomorrow Never Know, Miracle Earth and Tomorrow. In recent years, Japanese people have lived in fear, and Japanese pop music has a soothing effect, so in 1995, music has been integrated into society. What makes music integrate into society is usually the lyrics of a song, because the content of the song often constitutes an important reason for fans to buy records. This can also explain why Mr. Children went up one floor at 1995, because the lyrics of Sakurai Kazutoshi's work "Never Know From Tomorrow" are social or philosophical. So by 1995, Mr. Kid has become one of the most important pop bands in Japanese history.
1995, four bands are the most popular. In terms of status and influence, Mr. Child became the king of the year. B'z only produced two singles every year from 199 1 to 1994, but 1995 produced three singles. 1995 "Delicious", a dream come true, sold 2.97 million copies and successfully became the first album of the year. DCT is a singer who has won the album title for two consecutive years after Yumi Matsutoya. Their "Love" sold 2.35 million copies, becoming the single champion of 1995. Both the single and the album are 1995, which shows that the dream come true has reached the peak since 1995 debuted. Trf also released several singles on 1995, with good results, and three singles exceeded one million. Because they released two albums "dance to positive" and "hyper mix IV", they finally beat "B'z", "Dreams Come True" and "Mr. Children" with the score of 1994 to become the annual sales champion. B'z, a dream come true, Mr. Children and trf represent different musical styles. Relatively speaking, B'z, the dream comes true, and mr.children has strong creative ability, so he will be less dependent on the outside world. By this year, they are still in the forefront of Japanese pop music, while trf, which has no creative ability, has almost disappeared. Although they are still active in various clubs in Japan, they have been unable to release records because of the lack of guaranteed sales. Although trf, as the pioneer of small room style dance music, succeeded earlier, it is inevitable that TRF will be eliminated from the market soon because it has no creative ability of the band.
Being's other singers continued their momentum at 1995. Zard released their album "You Forever" on 1995, and finally became the fourth best-selling album with1770,000 copies. Since 1993, Zard has announced that it will no longer appear in any public places. Almost every album is released without any publicity, and their low-key style can still achieve good sales results. As an album, "Forever You" is also zard's widely acclaimed work in music. Another low-key singer, Maki Ohguro, was quite active in 1995, and published several hit singles. Both the single of the same name and the album Lala Lala sold millions in the top ten of that year. Since Maki Ohguro has never appeared in public, there is a saying about whether there is such a person. In the following years, she came out to hold some concerts. This year, the men's group promoted by being is still the vision of deen and the new band. This year, "Vision" had a million singles "Sudden", but unfortunately it was unsustainable. Although Deen's works always rank in the top three of oricon, the sales volume is not ideal.
Some veteran singers maintained their appeal at 1995. Yumi Matsutoya's album Dancing Sun includes two million singles, Spring is Coming and Hello, My Friend, which is a great success. The sales volume of 265,438+07,000 copies was the highest record of her own album sales at that time. The album 1.995 ranked third, and Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi's work "Youth" 1.995 was released early. Miyuki Nakajima sang the theme song "Voyager's Song" for the sequel of the TV series "Homeless Children", which once again exceeded one million. Spitz, an old band, made a big splash this year with two songs Robinson and Tears in the Sky. Robinson Crusoe is an illusory love story, and that unrealistic feeling is a very effective mediator for the Japanese living in fear, so let them live in forget the sorrow for a while. So Robinson's popularity in 1995 is not without warning. Of course, the musical attainments of Spitz members themselves are also indispensable factors. Their momentum continued into the second year. Fukuyama Masaharu's popularity reached its first peak in this year. Excluding the sales volume and the excellent single "Hello", the double album sales exceeded 654.38+0.5 million. Female singer Okamoto Makoto appeared in this year with a song "Tomorrow", which was quite popular in this year and later became the backbone of Japanese music. Although it can't be sold, it always has a certain position. Mariah Carey's album Dream, published in this year, sold well in Japan, continuing her path to enter the Japanese market as the most successful European and American singer.
Idol school is famous for two female singers this year. One is Yuki Uchida, who became popular in TV series with a neutral image. Thanks to Tetsuya Koike's appreciation, her first single and album are very popular, but the other one is Noriko Sakai, and no one can remember it. As a senior girl idol, Noriko Sakai has always been praised for her lovely and carefree image, but when people are tired of her unchanging smile, Noriko Sakai's career has entered a dilemma. Until her boyfriend, gold screenwriter Shinji Nojima, wrote the popular TV series Under One Roof, Noriko Sakai successfully turned herself into a delicate and gentle woman and became a popular actress in TV series in the following years. 1995, the TV series "Gold Coin in Paradise" starring her was almost tailored for her by the famous screenwriter Yukari Tatsui. As a poor and lovely Sargam, she once again achieved great success, which almost aroused the upsurge of learning sign language for all people in Japan. Tetsuro Oda wrote it for her. The idol female singer who was still very popular one or two years ago was cleverly transformed. Xiao Ye Kyoko, as an acting actress in TV series and movies, continues to be popular, and she has become the king of advertising because of her good image. Miho Nakayama's records still have a certain sales guarantee, but as an actress, she starred in the film Love Letter, which has a far-reaching impact on her career. The film was a great success at the box office and won the jury prize equivalent to the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival. Hollywood filmmakers and big stars were moved by this story and rushed to buy the right to adapt. Miho Nakayama played two roles in this film, and her acting was well received. She won almost all the acting awards set by Japanese actresses this year.
Keisuke Kuwata and Mr. Children jointly released the support song "Miracle Earth" to fight AIDS on1October 27th 1995. The rise of Sha Luan Q is both national and social, and they have brought a special interpretation of Kansai regional music to Tokyo fans. Their exaggerated and gorgeous costumes are another reaction of society, exposing the abnormal nature of the Japanese. Single beds and cunning women show the sadness of Japanese men. So Nikkei Entertainment conducted a popularity survey on 1997. As a result, Sha Luan Q's popularity was as high as 97%, which was the highest among singer bands (to give you a pointer, Kimura Takuya's popularity was a little over 80% at that time). As the producer of Southern All-Star and mr.children, Takeshi Kobayashi has his own band My Little Valentine this year, and their third chapter single hello again is a great success, which paves the way for their success next year.
Another important band in 1995 is East End Yuri, which has never been popular before or after. Their single sold millions this year, and entered the red and white singing competition as the first rap band. Although their music styles were unknown in the market during the periods of 1996 and 1997, it can be said that Dragon Ash and M-Flo, which were extremely popular later, should be their continuation, and a branch of black music, hip-hop and rap, found its source here.
1995 really has a lot to say. The smooth listing of 1995 also laid the foundation for the birth of 1996 album Barley and many records.
