The collaboration of two people who share the commonality of being “tossed around” is a hot topic! Shingo Katori and Akina Nakamori’s singing ability is highly praised.

The two have something in common: they performed together and talked about it.

In July 1989, Nakamori attempted suicide at the apartment of popular singer Masahiko Kondo of Johnny’s (now SMILE-UP.), with whom he was dating at the time. Furthermore, at the end of that year, a press conference was held with a “gold folding screen” in the background. At first, there were rumors that it might be a wedding press conference, but there was no such talk. Since it was an apology for the attempted suicide, it was even called the “Golden Folding Screen Incident.

In the end, the two broke up. Meanwhile, Katori had a hard time appearing on terrestrial TV after leaving the office in September 2005, partly due to the SMAP breakup scandal.

Netizens commented, “Shingo Katori and Akina Nakamori, two people who had a lot in common and were at the mercy of Johnny’s, hugged each other, and it made me feel strangely sad. Comments such as “……” were received.

And the album “Circus Funk” itself, which Katori released for distribution on the 27th, has also been well received. The title track, “Circus Funk (feat. Chevon),” is a collaboration with Chevon, a young band “known only to those in the know” who live in Sapporo, Hokkaido, and contains 11 other songs by Nakamori, Kroi, Zainichi Funk, Nomura, Green and Yellow Society, and other talented and gorgeous guests on every track. . Music fans are also paying attention to Katori’s album,

I listened to Shingo Katori’s album for Kroi and Chevon, but all the songs are so good I have them on repeat!

Shingo, you’ve broadened your range as an artist and your singing has improved.

Through “Circus Funk,” I’ve come to appreciate the greatness of Shingo Katori. The more I listen to it, the more I appreciate Shingo-kun’s antennae for the artists he collaborates with.

This has become a hot topic on social networking sites.

Next January, “Japan’s Worst Man *My Family Was a Fake”, the first Fuji TV drama starring Katori in 11 years, will begin. The song “Circus Funk (feat. Chevon),” which is used as the theme song, will be loved by even more people.
