Japan singer Shinji Tanimura dies at 74


Japanese singer-songwriter Shinji Tanimura, who was known for hit songs including Subaru, or Star, which also made him popular in China, died earlier this month at the age of 74, his music agency said Monday.

Tanimura had undergone surgery in March due to enteritis and canceled a planned nationwide tour of Alice to recuperate, but died on Oct 8, the agency said.

Tanimura, born in Osaka Prefecture in western Japan, made his musical album debut as a member of the three-man band Alice in the early 1970s. The trio produced one hit after another, such as Champion and Fuyu no Inazuma, or Winter Lightning.


Through his music, Tanimura keenly promoted friendly relations between Japan and China, holding several concerts in China and serving as a professor at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music.

Tanimura’s 1980 solo signature piece Subaru is widely known across China, with the song being sung with Chinese lyrics. He performed the song at the opening ceremony of the Shanghai World Expo in 2010.

The Japanese government awarded him a Medal with Purple Ribbon in 2015 for his contributions to the development of art and culture by creating a body of work that appealed widely not only in his home country but throughout Asia. XINHUA

A generation of Hong Kong people were awakened to Japan through the images of Kamen Rider and Raptors. Shinji Tanimura’s music made Hong Kong people spiritually develop and grow, while Hisaishi Joe and Miyazaki Hayao made Hong Kong people mature and ultimately complete. Stepping out of the shadow of modern Chinese history, we head towards the East without looking back.

一代的香港人,在幪面超人和猛龙特警队片集的影像里向日本苏醒启蒙,谷村新司的音乐令香港人的精神发育成长,而久石让和宫崎骏,令香港人成熟,最终完全走出中国现代史的阴影,义无返顾的奔向东洋。

Only then did I realize that the term "sentiment" became a common name for a certain feeling in urban generations only after that.

这才知道,情怀这个名词,是在此之后才成为城市世代的某种感觉的俗称。

Among them, baptism, of course, is a rich commodity material experience. Shinji Tanimura's melody transports Hong Kong people out of the Daimaru department store they take for granted, passing through the Ginza colony of Matsuzakaya, Tokyu and Isetan, and then onto the land of Shinjuku and Keihanshin.

其中洗礼,当然经历有丰富的商品物质。谷村新司的旋律,将香港人送出了理所当然的大丸百货公司,经过松阪屋、东喼、伊势丹的银座殖民地,从而踏上新宿和京阪神的国土。

The cherry blossoms in our hometown have all fallen, and the autumn maples are newly red. We walked through the galaxy of Tanigawa Shinji's music and arrived at the snow-covered riverside in Otaru, Hokkaido in the depth of winter. In the midst of infinite emotion, we found an orange-red light in the window.

彼乡樱花落尽、秋枫新红,我们踏过谷川新司音乐的星河,抵达深冬里北海道小樽积雪的河畔,在无限感动之中,找到窗户一盏橙红的灯火。

Starting from Victoria Harbor, a galaxy of stars shines, from Hideki Saijo to Takuya Kimura (how can you be so partial, yes, there are Mayumi Mayumi and Seiko Matsuda), and the trains of Danny Chan Pak-Keung , Roman Tam and Anita Mui accidentally flickered off a few times. The waves formed a thirty-year relationship between Japan and Hong Kong.

由维港出发,一条银河星光闪耀,其间由西城秀树到木村拓哉(怎可以这样偏心,对,还有五轮真弓和松田圣子),其间衣裾也无意拂落了几闪陈百强、罗文、梅艳芳的浪花,成就了三十年日港的一段情缘。

Although there was You Min and Akira Takarada's "Hong Kong Nights" before, and there were also faded lights, but that fairy tale is far away from Shanghai's Hongqiao in the 1940s and Li Xianglan (Yoshiko Yamaguchi )'s Shengjing, and extends to the past of our ancestors.

The direction is The northern land where artillery fire can be heard is hidden, rather than the peaceful and prosperous East that will be connected in the future.

虽然以前还有尤敏和宝田明的「香港之夜」,也有过一片褪色的灯火璀璨,但那一截童话遥接上海四十年代的虹桥和李香兰的盛京,延伸往祖辈的往事,方位是炮火隐闻的北地,而不是未来连接的太平盛世的东洋。

On this dazzling map of memory, although music actually ended in Hong Kong, the starry sky of Shinji Tanimura is a very critical stopover.

在此眼花缭乱的记忆地图上,虽然其实音乐早在香港终止,谷村新司的那片星空,是很关键的中途站。

As for remembering how to interpret it from Guanzheng's Guqu Gang, you can go back to the source and learn the depth represented by the word "Pleiades", and then you can understand the true culture of Han and Tang Dynasties in Japan (or alternatively, in the parallel universe beyond the black hole).

If you have read Kaku Michio, a Japanese-American scholar, how can you be sure that the culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties was not spread from Japan to the west), which is an unexpected gain.

至于记得如何由关正𠎀的谷曲港绎,令你上溯源头,才学懂「昴」这个字代表的深邃,方明白真正的汉唐文化在日本(或alternatively ,在黑洞以外的平行宇宙,若读过美籍日裔学者加来道雄Kaku Michio,你又怎肯定其实汉唐文化不由日本西传过来),更是一点意外的收获。

You even remember that date under the escalator of Mitsukoshi Department Store in Causeway Bay. The big boy wearing a white shirt and white trousers. After you gave him a volume of guitar scores and a Japanese primer, he told you that he would go Stanford Uni after the summer vacation.

你更记得那时赴铜锣湾三越百货的扶手电梯下之约,那个穿白衬衫白裤子的大男孩,你还给他一册结他琴谱和日语初阶读本之后,他告诉你暑假后会去史丹福。

The trumpet of nostalgia blows, and your heart never returns. You still remember that he promised to go to Tanigawa Shinji's Hong Kong concert together, and fulfilled a wish: hold his hand in the fifth row of the audience and follow him together. Sing in Japanese: "I am walking, pale き栬のままで; I am walking alone, and the stars are shining brightly. I am walking alone, with only stars. "

乡愁的号角吹起,你的心从此没有回程,还记得他答应会一起去谷川新司的香港演唱会,践现一个心愿:在台下第五排观众席,牵着他的手,一起随他用日文唱:「我は行,苍白き頬のままで;我は行,さらば昴よ⋯⋯星光灿烂,伴我独行,只有星。 」

Today, you are on the other side of the Pacific, looking back at a distance beyond the starlight. So far and so close, you can only vaguely see the echo of a dream.

今日你在太平洋彼岸,在星光以外的距离回顾,那么远、那么近,只隐约见到一痕梦影的回声。
