Early Life

Nakazawa Yuko was born on June 19, 1973 in Kyoto, Japan.

1997

On May 24, 1997, Nakazawa participated in an audition held in Osaka called Sharam Q Josei Rock Vocalist Audition. Nakazawa was working as office lady in Osaka,[1] and auditioned to seek adventure as an escape from her current life.[2]

On July 29, Nakazawa (along with 10 other people) had made it to the second stage of the audition, and was sent to training camp to practice her singing and dancing skills.

On July 31, they performed on stage in front of an audience, dancing as a group doing a choreography they had been practicing.

On August 3, Nakazawa had made it to the final stage and got to sing on stage in the ASAYAN studio. She lost to Heike Michiyo.

On August 20,Nakazawa, along with Ishiguro AyaIida Kaori, Abe Natsumi, and Fukuda Asuka, had been invited back to the ASAYAN studio. They had a meeting with Sharam Q and a producer asking them if they wanted to debut as a group on the condition of selling 50.000 copies of a single within five days.

On September 7, Tsunku named the group Morning Musume, and Nakazawa became the group's first leader as the oldest member at 24 years of age. They started voice training, shoot the CD cover for their indies single Ai no Tane, recorded the song, recorded and released the PV before embarking on the task in November.The quintet accomplished that task on November 30, after just 4 days.[3][4]

In December, Morning Musume started recording three songs, where one of them would be released as their debut single in January.

1998

On January 28, 1998, Morning Musume released their major debut single, Morning Coffee.

Shortly after Morning Musume's major debut with the single "Morning Musume", it was announced that Nakazawa would start a solo career as an enka singer. Nakazawa was initially confused and upset by the president of UP-FRONT AGENCY deciding she should become an enka singer, but after consulting her mother who told her not pass up the opportunity and being told by her manager, "Well, if your mind isn’t 100% with this decision, you might as well quit," Nakazawa decided to take on the challenge.

[citation needed]

On December 2, she released a collaborative single with fellow UP-FRONT AGENCY enka singer Takayama Gen, titled "Odaiba Moonlight Serenade".

Over a week later, on December 12, she released her first solo album of original songs and cover songs, Nakazawa Yuko Dai Isshou.

1999

On June 9, Nakazawa released her third solo single, "Junjou Koushinkyoku".

When the single was announced she started an enka campaign, where she teamed up with fellow UP-FRONT artist Yanagisawa Junko. They would both record their own versions of the single. A limited edition of the single was also released, where Nakazawa sang the main chorus and Yanagisawa sang a few lines and the chorus. Yanagisawa would also join Nakazawa in the Hello! Project '99 concert that year. Their performance was cut from the VHS release, but Yanagisawa can be seen singing "Zurui Onna" at the end.

In addition to releasing music, Nakazawa also hosted the TV shows Idol wo Sagase and Hello! Morning.

2000

In February, Nakazawa was placed in Akagumi 4, one of three Hello! Project shuffle units that Tsunku started as a project. All three units released singles on the same day, March 8, as a sales competition.[5] Akagumi 4's single "Akai Nikkichou" was decided as the winner, ranking #2 on the Oricon singles chart with 27,164 copies sold in the first week.[6]

On July 12, she released her third solo single, "Shanghai no Kaze".

2001

A special fan club release was made in 2001: a special package of solo singles by all the members of Morning Musume (counting 13 girls at this time). Each girl released her own 3" CD single with a brand new original song. The titles of the singles are puns on their names. Nakazawa's single was a slow ballad about unrequited love titled "yuu・wa・ku" because she is sometimes called Yuu (or Yuu-chan).

On February 21, she released her fourth solo single, "Kuyashi Namida Porori".

On March 7, Nakazawa announced that she would graduate from Morning Musume on April 15 at the end of their spring concert tour. She passed her role as the group's leader to Iida Kaori. She has cited her reasons for leaving as being her age (nearly 28 years old at the time of her graduation)  and her desire to pursue other things by the time she was 30.[7]

On April 15, Nakazawa graduated from Morning Musume in the Live Revolution 21 Haru ~Osaka Jou Hall Saishuu Bi~.

After that she hosted Young Town Doyoubi for four years, and from 2004 she was the host for Ki Mama ni Classic until 2006. She also hosted a radio show called Majiasa.

On August 1, she released her fifth single, "Futari Gurashi". The B-side "Koi no Kioku" is Nakazawa's first attempt at lyrics, which she co-wrote with Tsunku. This was also the last single credited with her given name Yuko written hiragana as she began using her real name written in kanji for all following releases.

On August 21, she released her first solo photobook, titled Feather.

Nakazawa was a regular featured singer in Hello! Project's "Folk Songs" series alongside Ichii Sayaka. The first release, FOLK SONGS, was released in November.

    Rankings

    • She ranked #1 in music goo's 2011 "The best former leaders of Morning Musume" poll.

    Trivia

    • Her father passed away of a sudden stroke at the age of 29 (she was 6 years old at the time). Her solo monologue in Happy Summer Wedding was difficult for her, and Tsunku had to help her convey the proper tone he wanted for the song. When she got married in 2012, she said an altered version of the monologue "introducing" her husband to her father's butsudan.[38]
    • She is extremely close to her mother, Reiko. She has often wished her well for her birthday on-air (a few times on Hello! Morning, and during her casting duties in Fukuoka.) She has often cited her mother as one of her biggest role models and strives to follow in her footsteps, both as a strong woman and a mother.
    • After losing the Sharam Q Josei Rock Vocalist Audition in 1997, Nakazawa recieved a phone call from ASAYAN when at the beach with friends from Osaka. They had taken her out to try to get her spirits up after losing the audition. She couldn't stop crying when they asked her to come down to the studio, so much that her friends were concerned. Nakazawa jumped on the Shinkansen heading for Tokyo again, without knowing anything.
    • She was known as an older sister figure within Hello! Project but was also famous for her aggressive, yankee-like personality as well.
    • She has grown accustomed to usually speaking with a Tokyo dialect, and has usually suggested fellow members from Kansai (Heike Michiyo, Kago Ai, and more recently Mitsui Aika) speak in a Tokyo dialect while in Hello! Project. Ironically, she is known for bursting out in her native Kansai dialect whenever she is annoyed, usually “scaring” younger members.
    • She was particularly close to Ichii Sayaka before her graduation from Morning Musume and Hello! Project, and still remains a fairly close friend to her and her new family.
    • She used to be a big fan of punk music.
    • She has stated that her reason for graduating from Morning Musume was that she began to feel physically limited from keeping up with the group’s activities due to her age.
    • At one point, she hated bananas so much that she felt repulsed just being in the same room with them. However, when asked by Tsuji Nozomi what had changed about her since she had graduated from Morning Musume, Nakazawa said that she could now be in the same room with someone eating a banana and is fine with it.
    • She is not a big fan of using phones and is known for not answering the phone (so much so that Yasuda Kei has said it is a “miracle” if Nakazawa answers the phone).
    • She was one of the oldest members of Hello! Project.
    • She is the seventh former Morning Musume member to get married, the first being Ishiguro Aya, second being Ichii Sayaka, third being Iida Kaori, fourth being Tsuji Nozomi, fifth being Fujimoto Miki, and sixth being Yaguchi Mari
    • She is the first former Morning Musume member to only graduate from Morning Musume and not Hello! Project.
    • When Morning Musume appeared on Music Fighter in 2009 to promote "Naichau Kamo" and they were asked to think of a new nickname for her, Junjun answered "Nakazawa-chan", and Linlin answered "Blonde Fat Ass" after being given the suggestion by one of the hosts.
    • When Tsunku appeared on the variety show Shabekuri 007 in April 2009, he described Nakazawa as "harsh" and a "sadist".[39]
