With her crazy shock of hair, baby doll pout, mature lyrics, and distinctive voice — somewhere between a lispy squeak and a husky groan — Chara is one of the most interesting female vocalists working in Japan, whose music has stood outside the two main trends of her country's music scene. Neither Jpop nor club pop or Jindies rock, Chara's style remains her own.
Born in Kawaguchi-shi, Saitama county on January 13, 1968, Chara gained her nickname from an elementary school teacher when she was eight. Since then, she has been identified so closely as Chara that friends don't even know her real name. Before she could even talk, Chara was playing around on a toy piano, a habit that finally prompted her parents to buy her piano lessons when she was four. In junior high school, she became obsessed with the movie American Graffiti and borrowed her style from the retro-1950s chic of the film, going so far as to form an American-style cheerleading squad in a country not known for such things. In the meantime, she was growing up a child of '80s music, mostly the New Romantic scene, playing keyboards in the school band, and working on her vocals.
In 1990, at age 22, she sent off a demo tape to CBS/Sony and got a contract with Epic records. After recording for a year, she debuted in a live appearance at the famous Tokyo club Quattro in September, 1991, followed by a single "Heaven" and an album, Sweet, in November. A cult following soon led to a standing room only return to club Quattro at the end of the year. Chara's popularity and media profile spread, earning her spots for her song and appearance in commercials for Suntory, Shiseido, Marui, and others. Her second album, Soul Kiss, appeared in 1992, her third, Violet Blue, in 1993, and her fourth, Happy Toy, in 1994. All were supported by successful tours.
In 1995, she gave birth to her first child, a baby girl she named Sumire. In the time off, Sony/Epic released a best-of compilation with accompanying remix CD. Chara then took some time off in 1996 to film Swallowtail Butterfly, directed by Shunji Iwai. She starred alongside actor Tadanobu Asano, who she married later that year. The film went on to win her a Best Actress award at the Japanese Academy awards and spin off a soundtrack album by the film's imaginary group The 99 1/2, with Chara on vocals. Chara followed up on this with a wildly popular album, Junior Sweet. With production from Towa Tei and Ashley Ingram, the album went on to be a million seller, one of the best-sellers of 1997. In 1999, she released her follow-up, Strange Fruits, and gave birth to her second child, a boy she named Himi. She is still producing albums and touring, though no movie plans are in the works.

再见2010
comicsam Lv.2 发表于 2010-12-30 15:48:40
对明天毫无信心，也毫无希望。
相反的是，我非常绝望，经常忐忑，
不知道该说什么，该做什么，
改变，改变，最大的改变就是一点没变，
去年我以为是最坏的一年，
但今年明显讽刺了我，它是如此的直接，如此的鲜血，
这个世界你根本来不及做出任何防御，便被击垮摧残，
生于忧患，活于忧患，也死于忧患。惨。活着的惨，死了的更惨。
活着的不知道怎么活，死了的不知道为什么死
无论如何年末愉快， 新年顺利！

我有病

我疯了, 现在还是呆呆的,
情绪失控失去心智果然会做一些蠢事.
对不起对不起我不知道跟谁说,跟我跟你?
心里好难受,说想我妈太丢脸.好后悔
傻逼才哭,
我是大大的傻逼

我的生活不要再啰里八唆

我走的很慢，但是我不会后退
从2008年暑假到2010年尾再没有情节可以期待。
是我配不上你。
我的手机卡昨天弄丢了，发现原来的电话簿。
一个电话号码也没记住。
和你的 一起消失在彼此的手机信号里了。
