Is there a way to keep my music tagged as "Miyuki Nakajima" (instead of the japanese name), and get it scrobbled here instead of to http://www.last.fm/music/Miyuki+Nakajima ?

That's right, she's goddes. So I've started to learn Japanese because I want to understand her poetry.

v That's what I'm planning to do as well. Have listened through 10 albums so far and I can tell that this woman is a goddess of Japanese folk music. With her poetic lyrics and beautiful compositions she's definitely one of the greatest singer-songwriters on this planet. Insanely talented!

I don't speak Japanese, but her music is very good and her voice is beautiful. I'm going to listen to whole her discography!

She was extremely highly anticipated as the most notable female lyricist in Japan but underrated as a songwriter/vocalist. Her melody line and sound production were quite memorable expesially in the 80's.

After the late 80's?! 90's had some of her best albums though (EAST ASIA and 歌でしか言えない). I think she went downhill the second she signed with Yamaha. 00's was the decade I also had difficulty with in getting into. Mind you, she had a lot of albums for me that took many listens to find the genius in, あ・り・が・と・う and 親愛なる者へ being good examples. I also think it's very important to note that the magic in Miyuki's music often comes from the lyrics and how she delivers them. 遍路 is a good example of that too, again from あ・り・が・と・う. When I first listened to it years ago, my Japanese was poor, so I didn't look into it much and found the song mediocre. It's different once you understand the lyrics. I notice how the music is arranged more carefully, I notice the violin now that comes in when she reveals her lover's suicide (or accidental "death"? Debatable). And like a great lyricist should, she leaves so many possible interpretations.

For me she's been hit or miss all the way. 00's probably the decade of hers that I have the most difficulty with in getting into.
