Tokyo, Japan (2006 – present)

Shōko Nakagawa (中川翔子, Nakagawa Shōko, born May 5, 1985, in Tokyo as Shiyoko Nakagawa (中川しようこ, Nakagawa Shiyōko)) also known as Shokotan (to fans) is a Japanese idol and multi-talented celebrity (an actress, seiyu (voice actor), illustrator, singer and blogger). She is the daughter of 中川勝彦, a celebrity in Japan in the 1980s.

In July 2006, she released her debut single, “Brilliant Dream”. It entered the Oricon chart at number 29, with initial sales of 6,313 copies. Shokotan performed at Anime Expo 2008 at the Los Angeles Convention Center from July 3 till July 6. She is also known for loving cosplay, and buys up many clothes at auction, particularly costumes for Neon Genesis Evangelion, the Final Fantasy series and Sailor Moon. She is known for liking manga and anime, and also enjoys watching professional boxing.

Her official blog, Shokotan * Blog, opened in 2004, and by April 2006 it had received a total of 100 million hits. On February 2, 2008, the daily Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun reported that her blog had been accessed 1 billion times. As one might expect from her personality, there are very many otaku-style entries, and she updates it extremely regularly, as she admitted in an interview, because she uses it as a kind of notepad. In the month of April 2005, there were 600 updates, and on January 28, 2006 there were 70 updates, a record number for a single day. It is likely that she holds the record for the greatest number of blog updates by an idol.

    The remix album SUCKS balls... Damn I thought the tracks were going to be remixed, not mashed into one another... [2] @xTaiki maybe we expected her remix album to be something like Ayu's remix albums. I got really excited when I read that it was a NON-STOP remix.. But as I started listening I got disappointed.. but nevertheless it's still fun to listen to most of her songs at a go..

    I agree, and the remix album was the one I was most curious about.... lol When I heard "Brilliant Dream" I was like; "Oh she was just like the rest, so generic: the cutesy high pitched kawaii voice". GOD THANKS for letting me not hear Brilliant Dream from her the first time, luckily it was "DAN DAN kokoro hikareteku" and the whole Shokotan Cover 3 album. Then Horoscope came out, and I LOVED her voice. Now I'm picking up her older songs; "snow tears" and "RAY OF LIGHT" are my current faves. They're so outstanding and perfect!!! Though I really don't like her PV's, RAY OF LIGHT pv should be super sad; but instead she's emotionlessly singing with her microphone, same goes for snow tears, and Horoscope. She should have pushed a bit more (maybe even a fake tear). Though, that's in my opinion. ~~~ The best album deserved the 2nd place in ORICON charts!

    I thought that too! I mostly don't like any Remix Songs, but Shokotan had some good ones on her Singles example: snow tears -Mitchie M Remix-. But that new Remix Album is such a waste of Money. It has nothing to do with Remix....It's just putting XX Songs together to get one huge long Song. But otherwise the 3 new Songs are glorious. She's getting with every new Song better and better. Listening to Brilliant Dream first and then Horizont is so different. Her Voice is super good now :)
