time 8,626 Posted May 13, 2023 60's singer Joe Brown is 82 today. He came close to qualifying for Kill or Save (with his Bruvvers), but not close enough. This reached number 2 in 1962; despite it technically being a B-Side, this got the airplay and became the hit (the A-Side being the largely forgotten A Lay-About's Lament) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,771 Posted May 15, 2023 Japanese singer, screen, stage and voice actor, drag queen, director, composer and hibakusha Akihiro Miwa (real name Akihiro Maruyama, but much better known by his stage name) is 88 today Miwa was born in Nagasaki in 1935. His father, who owned a cafe-nightclub, was accused of "supporting the enemy's culture" early during World War II. On August 9, 1945, the day the US dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Miwa was a fourth-grade pupil at Sako National Elementary School drawing a picture for his summer holiday homework. After finishing that picture, he took a few steps back to look at it. Suddenly, as he describes it: "there was an intense flash of light, as if all the magnesium on earth were burned at once. Light and darkness was reversed before his eyes. Miwa heard the ground rumbling. The glass windows shattered and the roofing tiles fell on their heads." Miwa, his brother and the family housemaid ran barefoot to an air raid shelter. He later met his father (who had escaped without being injured as he had taken a day off work) in the shelter and the family decided to evacuate to another part of Nagasaki. He saw horrors on the journey, for example a man who had been crushed under a building grabbed his arm, skin falling off him and at a hospital a long line of people in horrible condition. He's suffered from health effects from the radiation since, including anemia, chronic bronchitis and other illnesses that in the 1980s and 1990s were so severe he had to end his stage acting career. He also suffered a severe stroke in 2019, but has recovered well. Akihiro Miwa's career as a singer and cabaret performer started at 17 in 1952, he sang French chansons of for example Édith Piaf, Yvette Guilbert and Marie Dubas in Tokyo's nightclubs. See the image - his first major hit was Gilbert Bécaud's Me Que Me Que (1953) in Japanese in 1957, one of the reasons it was very popular was that it included profanities not yet used in Japanese media at the time. He often dressed in feminine or unisex clothes and had a "genderless appearance", earning the nicknames "sister boy" and "most beautiful boy since Jinmu". During his long career he's worked with numerous notable directors and actors, for example Shūji Terayama, Kinji Fukasaku and Hayao Miyazaki. He's also still working, here's an image from a recent ad campaign: Facts about Akihiro Miwa: - He owns a record signed by Édith Piaf. - He has dyed his hair since his 30s when it turned gray due to chronic ailments. - He publicly came out as gay in the 1960s, becoming one of Japan's first openly gay celebrities. - Miwa is a popular symbol of luck in Taiwan, and Taiwan's Ministry of Finance has claimed that saving a picture of Akihiro Miwa as a cell phone background will increase chances of winning Taiwan's receipt lottery. - He's voiced pokemon characters such as Arceus, and Studio Ghibli characters, for example Witch of the Waste. - He's a Buddhist and knew late nun Jakucho Setouchi well, they once released a book together. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
