Harumi Miyako Profile

Harumi Miyako, born Harumi Kitamura in 1948, was born in Kyoto. Influenced by her mother, who loved entertainment, she began learning rōkyoku, folk songs, and Japanese dance from a young age, aspiring to become a singer. In 1963, at the age of 15, she won the 14th Columbia National Singing Competition. The following year, Hiroshi Itsuki won, and in the past, the competition had produced stars like Chiyoko Shimakura and Saburo Kitajima. In 1964, the year of the Tokyo Olympics, she debuted with "Komaru no Koto yo" from Columbia. Her third single, "Anko Tsubaki wa Koi no Hana," released in October of the same year, became her first hit, earning her the New Artist Award at the 6th Japan Record Awards. Her mentor, Shosuke Ichikawa, whom Miyako admired as her father figure in the entertainment world, composed the song and went on to handle major works such as "Namida no Renrakusen" (1965) and "Suki ni Natta Hito" (1968). Harumi Miyako, who became a top star with a string of hit songs delivered with her unique, powerful singing style characterized by "unari" (a vocal growl), reached the pinnacle of the music world in terms of both fame and skill with "Kita no Yado Kara," released in December 1975 and becoming a massive hit the following year. This 68th single, with lyrics by Yū Aku and music by Asei Kobayashi, became a million-seller and achieved the unprecedented feat of winning both the 18th Japan Record Awards and the 9th Japan Cable Awards. It also swept other awards, including the 7th Japan Music Awards and the 5th FNS Music Festival Grand Prix. It was performed on "NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen" for two consecutive years, the 26th in 1975 and the 27th in 1976, with Miyako serving as the final performer for the first time in 1976. She has appeared on the Kōhaku stage a total of 29 times, from her debut on the 16th in 1965 with "Namida no Renrakusen" to the 48th in 1997. Even after entering the 1980s, she continued to have hits such as "Osaka Shigure" (1980) and "Naniwa Koishigure" (1983, a duet with Chiaki Oka). However, at the peak of her popularity and skill in 1984, she temporarily retired from singing after her last performance, tearfully singing "Fūfu-zaka" on Kōhaku Uta Gassen. She returned to the music scene in 1987 as a music producer and made a comeback as a singer in 1990 with "Otaru Ongawa," her first new song in six years. Since then, she has produced masterpieces such as the theme song "Ai wa Hana, Kimi wa Sono Tane" (1991) for the Studio Ghibli anime "Only Yesterday" and "Koto Sho-yo" (1994), which was performed as the final song on Kōhaku. In 2024, she celebrated her 60th anniversary since her debut. Text: Hiroyuki Suzuki (Archivist)
