宮沢和史 (Miyazawa Kazufumi/Kazufumi Miyazawa), born in 1966 in Kofu, about 100 km west of Tokyo, Japan. Made debut as the vocalist of the band, The Boom in 1989. The band has released 11 albums including the latest, titled “HYAKKEI” in 2004. In 1993, his composition and single “SHIMA UTA (ISLAND SONG)” became a massive hit, selling 1.5 million copies. This beautiful Okinawan melody was covered by numerous artists including some in other countries.
Particularly “SHIMA UTA (Cancion de la Isla)” covered by an Argentinian multi-talented artist Alfredo Casero became a massive hit in Argentina and one of the support songs of the Argentinian team at the 2002 FIFA World Cup, even though it was sung in Japanese. Casero and Miyazawa sang this song together in front of huge audiences in Buenos Aires, Tokyo and Okinawa. “SHIMA UTA (ISLAND SONG)” is one of the standard songs that many people from different generations can sing in Japan now.
While active with his band THE BOOM, he released 2 solo albums in succession in 1998. The first solo album “Sixteenth Moon” was produced by Hugh Padgham, known as the producer of The Police and Sting, and was recorded in London. The second one “AFROSICK” was recorded with the new generation of musicians in Brazil after which he undertook his second successful concert tour of Brazil. He recorded the 3rd album “MIYAZAWA” in Brazil, Argentina, New York, Tokyo and Okinawa in the spring of 2001. He also performed at a festival in Pamplona, Spain in July 2002.
