Ayumi Nakamura is a female Japanese rock singer whose career has now spanned three decades. Her debut single, released in 1984, was a Ken Takahashi song titled 'Midnight Kids'. She rose to prominence after the release of her third single 'Tsubasa no Oreta Angel' in 1985. The song, which featured Nakamura's self-penned lyrics marked the artist's transition into a singer-songwriter and established her as a significant up-and-coming talent. She was born in 1966 in Fukuoka, but moved to Osaka at the age of four and entered the music business at the age of 18. She has been a consistently successful and popular performer in Japan and enjoyed a string of hit singles during the late 1980s and 90s leading up to her 1998 release 'Live With Liz', after which she took a six-year break from recording. Nakamura re-launched her career in 2004 at the Kayama Yuzo concert and subsequently signed to Sony releasing an album of cover songs titled 'VOICE' in 2008. The album was the first of a trio of cover albums released by Nakamura, culminating in 'VOICE II' in 2009 which was her last studio album.
