Anyone aware of Japan’s ’80s city pop scene will be familiar with Miho Nakayama. At the zenith of her fame, Nakayama was not only an award-winning actress but an accomplished idol singer who enraptured audiences with her warm vocals and vibrato-laden timbre. Her releases frequently broke into the industry’s Oricon Singles Chart, including number-one hits “You’re My Only Shinin’ Star” and “mermaid”. Other releases like “[C]” and “CATCH ME” found her experimenting with electro-pop—a by-product of an artist’s defining contributions to an era.
