About

This site is dedicated to the evergreen J-pop Queen Akina Nakamori ［中森明菜］and is jointly run by a bunch of Akina Fanatics + Wannabes* peppered round this beautiful J-pop globe.

Sick and utterly dismayed at the pathetic “Official Site” (note inverted commas; stop robbing and taking Miss AN for a free ride please! Someone fire her web designer quick!!), add to it the lack of an authoritative English-language source, plus rumours that Akina is dead (some of our pals residing outta Japan actually thought her suicide attempt in the previous century was successful! This is what you get when you** keep everything to yourselves and do not share!!), we decided it was time to show them how it’s done properly!

We hope we can gather all the isolated fans around the world outside of Japan (I reckon she sells substantially outside of Japan, so it’s silly to ignore us! We’re sizeable!). New friendships have been forged through this site (what did they say about music being a common language?), a handful of us have met in person and even gone on concert trips together. We’re looking forward to organising the first Akina Fans World Summit in the near future.

You can read a bit more about her highness at Wikipedia.

*Which is by no means a derogatory word. Yes, I'm talking to you, wannabe.
** Yes, you right there. The one with that smug look on the face. Start feeling guilty.
