Chuck and the Birds in characters experience.

Chage, formerly known as Shibata Hiroyuki, 1958/kloc-0 was born in Fukuoka on October 6th, with type B blood and one brother. He divorced his married wife 14 in 2000 and remarried in 5438+0 in 2006. Sunglasses and a hat (or headscarf) are his symbols, and he has grown a beard since 1996. Chage is humorous by nature, loves drinking and playing video games, and sometimes even loses control. Photography is also a big hobby of Chage, who is quite professional and often comments on the photos taken by ASKA. Chag once hosted a late-night radio program, but now it has stopped broadcasting.

ASKA, formerly known as Miyazaki Shigemitsu, was the same year as Chage and was also a fellow villager. She was born in Fukuoka, Japan on February 24th, 1958/KLOC-0. She has a sister, is married and has a son and a daughter. ASKA is cautious and pursues perfection. He is not only an excellent musician and singer, but also a poet. He has published a collection of poems "Only Loneliness", and his poems can often be found in the inner page of the album lyrics. ASKA studied kendo under the guidance of her father since she was a child. She won the national championship, and now she has time to practice. In addition, one-handed somersault is ASKA's specialty. He often performs in the concert "Servant はこの". Chage and Aska meet in Fukuoka No.1 Middle School. They are in different classes at the same level, and each of them has formed a folk band to perform in the school. After entering Fukuoka First University of Economics together, ASKA invited Chage to participate in the 1978 Yamaha's15th POP CON Singing Competition. As a result, Chage won the grand prize in Fukuoka, and ASKA won the best singing prize, which was equivalent to the second place. According to the regulations, only the grand prize winner can participate in the Kyushu competition. The producer of Yamaha advised them not to form a singing group and they promised to give it a try. The16th Pop Music Competition, with "チャゲ&; The name of Birds entered the competition together with ASKA's Love Song, and entered the final "Love Wife Election" and won the prize. 1979 participated in the17th competition with "Blooming Alone", and released his first single "Blooming Alone" on August 25th of the same year, officially entering the music scene.

As newcomers, their first single and 1980' s third single "River of Wan Li" have both achieved good sales. However, after the 1980s, japanese pop idols became more and more popular, and powerful singers like C & A were ignored. But they are still committed to their own creation and constantly explore in the music industry. From the folk song style at the time of debut, more musical elements were gradually integrated, and the style developed in the popular direction. 1986, the first single "Morning Moon" after moving to Boli Jiayin became a major turning point in C&'s music style. During this period, ASKA also wrote many songs for other singers, including the pop youth team and Guangyuan (see CHAGE &; ASKA provides music).

From 65438 to 0989, ASKA went to England to find a new breakthrough for her creation. Half a year later, Chag also came to Britain to meet ASKA and create and record together. 199 1 year, C & ampa finally reached the peak of her career. The single "SAY YES" won 2.8 million sales, and the album "Tree" after that triggered the "big tree effect" in Japanese music, which caused a big counterattack by powerful singers and laid the lofty position of C & ampa in Japanese music. They won the Japanese Golden Record Award for three consecutive years from 1992, and 1992 was invited to perform at the Moroccan World Music Festival, but they were unable to go because they were holding a concert in Japan at that time. Later, they represented Asian singers at the Moroccan World Music Festival for two consecutive years in 1993 and 1994.

C & ampa is a singer born for concerts. Since her debut, she has held a national concert tour every year, and has set a number of first-place records in Japan. 1983, they used the National Yoyogi Arena as a concert venue for the first time and achieved good results. 1992 They turned the live concert into a movie "Concert Movie Guy", subverting the view that concert movies have been ignored in the film industry. Since 1994, they have expanded their concert venues overseas, covering Hongkong, Taiwan Province, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai and Seoul. 1996, C & As an Asian singer, A was invited to participate in the live performance of MTV Unplugged for the first time; /kloc-The New Year's Concert from 0/999 to 2000 gathered 50,000 fans in Fukuoka Dome, which was unprecedented. In 2000, as the first Japanese singer to hold a large-scale concert in Korea, they achieved great success.

C & ampa, which has made countless impressive achievements in Japanese music, now has more diversified music styles. Although the sales of records can't be compared with the past, and they are no longer singers standing at the top of the trend, their love and persistence in music are the same. Their aim is to make the music they want to make, not to cater to the tastes of the public and go with the flow. The origin of Chage and ASKA's names (the rumor is for reference only): Chage was named HAGE (baldness) by his classmates because he had little hair when he was studying, and then Chage added a C in front of him, which became his stage name. ASKA once had a crush on a female classmate in her class, but that female classmate fell in love with a boy named "Bird", so ASKA named herself "Bird" (named her rival in love, what a strange way of thinking! )

When they first started out, the name of their group was チャゲ&; Birds.

In fact, ASKA's full stage name is ASKA, and Bird is his surname. The phonetic notation of "flying birds" in Japanese is ASUKA, so the English writing of their combined names was CHAGE &; Asuka. But when they were making the album Goodbye 1990 in the UK, the British staff saw that the fax sent from Japan to ASKA said Asuka, so they read it as "Asuka". Since then, ASKA has decided to remove the U from the name and change its name to ASKA. And in view of the demand of the international market, the original "チャゲ"&; Birds are no longer used, Chage &; ASKA became their fixed name. However, ASKA's name still often appears in the position of composing music. It was not until 200 1 that ASKA's writing style was replaced by Aska.

Cha Ge's correct pronunciation is "just give", not "just base". Because of the misleading of the host, I'm afraid many people will mispronounce it! Since 1994, C & ampa has started to go out of Japan and hold concerts in Asian countries and regions. That year, the tour called "the biggest battle in history" included five concerts in China, Hongkong, China, Taiwan Province Province, China and Singapore. The performance was a great success. So the next year, C & ampa joined the tour in Hongkong, Taiwan Province and Singapore, which was called "Super Best III Mission Impossible", which was named Asian Tour II. Two Asian tours have made C & ampa's name deeply rooted in the hearts of Asian countries, and they are known as "the most stateless singer in Asia".

Actually, as early as 1995, Asia Tour II and C & ampa wanted to perform in Chinese mainland. In order to understand the situation in China, they went to Beijing to attend the closing ceremony of the International Women's Film Festival, and also came to Shanghai to participate in the performance of the Shanghai International Radio and Music Festival and carry out some publicity activities. However, due to some political factors, the China government was forced to cancel her concert in China for the "meeting" and C & ampa.

1995, the fate between C & ampA and China failed to come true. Perhaps to make up for this regret, ASKA's first solo tour "ID" unexpectedly arranged a performance in Shanghai on 1997. The atmosphere of the concert was very warm, especially when Chage was present as a special guest and sang with ASKA, which pushed the atmosphere of the whole concert to a climax. Chage, moved by the enthusiasm of the audience, decided to arrange the first solo concert of 1998 in Shanghai. 1997 ASKA seems to have a special relationship with Shanghai. After the concert in Shanghai at the end of May, Aska was invited to perform at the opening ceremony of the Golden Autumn Shanghai International Radio and Music Festival.

1999, C & ampa, which has been flying solo for three years, once again started a series of commemorative activities for the 20th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the third Asian tour entitled "No doubt" is also planned. Originally, they arranged for Beijing, Shanghai and Taibei, but due to the 9.2 1 earthquake in Taiwan Province Province, they were forced to cancel Taiwan Province Province. Their performances in Beijing and Shanghai were very successful.

In 2000, the South Korean government announced the third lifting of the ban on Japan, and China & ampa became the first Japanese singer to hold a large-scale concert in South Korea. This sudden decision made them break all the original arrangements and devote themselves to the preparations for the concert. They did their best to give a wonderful performance to the Korean audience, and Japanese and Korean fans gathered together under the stage, eliminating the restrictions of national boundaries. ASKA cried at the concert. ...

Since the first Asian tour. A will face the audience of Asian countries with great sincerity. They insisted on moving the same stage in Japan to Asian countries, but they did not agree to reduce the scale of the stage. Although the cost is high, they try their best to dedicate the most perfect performance to the Asian audience. They try hard to practice the languages of various countries, including Chinese (including Mandarin, Cantonese and Shanghainese), English and Korean. Wherever they go, they communicate with the audience in the local language, breaking the boundaries between countries and languages. It has become one of his signs that Chage always holds a sketch book with a congratulatory message written in huge local characters. On their second Asian tour, their Chinese song "When will you come again" caused great repercussions.

C & ampa once said that they don't want to exaggerate their performances in Asian countries, but hope to take it as a continuation of Japanese domestic performances and naturally hold future Asian tours. And fans in Asian countries also expect them to come to their front again.

Finally in 2007, eight years later, Chage &; ASKA came to China again. They arranged the first performance of "Alive" in Shanghai, and China fans finally tasted Chage &; ASKA's charm of life. In China music, C & ampa's cover singers emerge in an endless stream, including Emil Wakin Chau, Chyi Chin, Liming and other very famous singers. UFO Records in Taiwan Province Province once published a book called Love-Change-Change; ASKA "album, including" Chage &; Authors: Emil Wakin Chau, Lv Fang, Yu-Ching Fei, Wang Jie, Sally Yeh and Li Guoxiang.

Dongo-you are mine-undoubtedly began to participate in Yamaha's singing competition, and C & ampa was always a singer belonging to Yamaha until 200 1. In more than twenty years, the record company they signed has undergone several changes.

When they first started out, their record company was Warner Pioneer. 1986, they signed a new owner "Boli Jiayin", and their most glorious period was created in Boli Jiayin. C& period1995-1996; A join EMI. In 2000, Yamaha established a new record company, Yamaha Music Communication Company, and transferred to this new company as Yamaha's C & ampa to help its business get on the right track. In 200 1 year, they came to Kitty MME, a subsidiary of Universal Records, and entered the new century in this international record company.

About C & ampa Brokerage Company, Yamaha originally managed it. When Yamaha established Real Cast Brokerage Company, Real Cast acted as CA's brokerage company. The production unit "Rehal Gast Company" written on the oral products of C & China concert is a real cast. Until 2000, Real Cast announced its dissolution, and the agent of C & ampa was changed to Rockdom.

In 2000-200 1 year, personnel changes related to C& seem to be quite frequent.

The official fan club of C & ampa was established in 1980, and the periodical is published regularly. The starting name of the journal is "Hakata Hippopotamus Chef" (because CA is from Hakata). 1988, according to ASKA's suggestion, magazines and fan clubs were renamed C & ampa and TUG, which means "net", and this name is still in use today. Foreign fans are restricted from joining the fan club because they are required to provide the Japanese address for mailing magazines. Staff:

The success of Chag & ampASKA is inseparable from the employees around them. The following is an introduction to the main characters.

Li Shangang-has been their producer since CA debuted. There is no doubt that he produced all the works of CA from the first single to 1999. Later, after ASKA's single "Heart is Flowering" in 2003, Li Shan just returned to the CA team as a producer.

Okubo Lianka's stage supervisor. Since her debut, almost all concerts have been planned and produced by Okubo. As a singer born for concerts, Okubo has made indelible contributions to their success and brilliance on the stage.

MIYOKO-Amano, editor of the fan club, is also a veteran of the CA team. He has been the editor of Fan Club since it was founded.

Toji Watanabe-has been their agent since CA debuted. When Yamaha established Real Cast Brokerage Company, Tochiji served as the representative (executive director) of the banning movement. Until Real Cast announced its dissolution in 2000, Du Di also left the CA team.

Band introduction:

When CA debuted, the band that accompanied her on stage was called "Fire Devil", and the band members could not take the exam for the time being. The only certainty is that Drummer Spring Justice returned to C& at 200 1. Band A, and participated in the 1 000th concert of CA, becoming the only band member who participated in the1and1000th concert.

From the "Xian SUPER DREAMIN" concert that ended on 1984, CA began to use Yamaha's "THE ALPHA" as an accompaniment band. Among them, guitarist Kaisuke Murakami is a member of MULTI MAX.

By the end of1987 "X 'mas Special' 87" concert, CA had formed a new band, Black Eyes, which was also a very famous band in the history of CA, and accompanied them through the most glorious period. Regular band members include drummer Kozo Suganuma Kanuma Mitsuo (known as "King of Hands"), Beth Miyuki Emi Naoya (formerly Rainwater Hideyoshi), guitar Keizo Kondo, keyboard/piano Tasuke Sawagawa, and keyboard Yuji Tokugawa. The name black EYS comes from Yamaha, where CA was located at that time, located in Muhei district of Tokyo.

From 200 1, CA's band was changed to ELDER STREET BOYS, but in fact, the name of this band was only mentioned at the beginning, and it was rarely used later. Many band members have also cooperated with CA in previous bands. Members include Savachika Tesuke (also the band leader), drummer Imaizumi Masaru, Asahi Jun, Kanno Yoshiaki, Nora, Masaki Suzuki, Beth Miyuki and Emi Naoya, and electronic synthesizer Ogasawa Manabu. Chuck and the bird

2010165438+1On the afternoon of October 8th, ASKA, a member of "Chage and ASKA", appeared in Shanghai alone and announced that he would hold a solo performance at Shanghai International Gymnastics Center on February1/kloc-0. At the beginning of last year, the brokerage company "Chuck and Bird" announced again that they would fly solo. ASKA denied whether this solo show meant the dissolution of the group, saying that they would still keep in touch frequently. "Maybe one day in the future, when even I can't foresee it, we will cooperate again." At the same time, he thinks solo flight is like the intermission of Chuck and the Birds for them. They learn more from each other on their own music paths, but they are more inspired and sparked when they cooperate.

ASKA is full of expectations for this solo scheduled for 65438+February 1 1, and revealed that some classic Chinese songs may be performed according to the audience's response. 1980~ 1985
