Early Life

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

1997

Nakazawa saw an advertisement for audition screenings being held in Osaka, and had an immediate gut feeling that this was her chance and she needed to go for it[1].

On May 24, 1997, Nakazawa participated in the audition held in Osaka called Sharam Q Josei Rock Vocalist Audition. Nakazawa was working as office lady in Osaka,[2] and auditioned to seek adventure as an escape from her current life.[3]

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.

Once she failed the audition, she was preparing to go back to her normal life, but then the staff of Asayan asked her to return to Tokyo, with no other details.

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.They were never explicitly promised that they would be able to formally debut, but they would give them an indies single release and if they sold well, they could debut in the future. Nakazawa realized this might be her last chance to be an entertainer even without knowing what all of this meant, so for her, she only ever thought about going for it, about moving forward. It was less worry or fear and more just that she had to do it.

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. Nakazawa was shocked when their manager told them that she would be the leader of the group, and didn't know why, but then she realized she was the oldest and figured that made sense. 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.[4][5]

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.

In mid-June, Nakazawa is offered 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, as well as 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.[6] [7]

On July 5, it was announced that Tsunku would be Nakazawa's producer, and Horiuchi Takao would stand for the musical composition. The same week Nakazawa is doing the jacket shooting for her debut single, and the relase date is announced to be August 5. The title is also announced; Karasu no Nyoubou. The following week the recordings for the song started. Horiuchi sang the song in studio in front of Nakazawa, so she would know how to sing it.

In mid-July to the end of July, Nakazawa starts promoting the single through a campaign called "Enka Yoru Campaign". She is handing out flyers to the public in the streets, as well as going from bar to bar singing the song. She is followed by two staff members carrying flags with the single logo on them. During daytime, she takes the trains to several different cities, like Fukuoka, Hiroshima, and Nagoya, doing the same kind of promotion but attending offices, restaurants and retirement homes in addition the bars at night time..

Nakazawa performs the song in concert for the first time at Hello! FIRST LIVE AT SHIBUYA KOHKAIDO, a concert held from July 21 to July 27.

On August 5, Nakazawa released her debut single, Karasu no Nyoubou.

On August 9, the PV is shown on TV for the first time.[8]

On November 29, the title of Nakazawa's second single is announced as Odaiba Moonlight Serenade. It will be a collaborative single with fellow UP-FRONT AGENCY enka singer Takayama Gen, set for release on December 2. They will sing the song as a duet. Nakazawa changes her name from Nakazawa Yuko (中澤裕子) to Nakazawa Yuko (中澤ゆうこ) for this and her future releases.

On December 2, Nakazawa released her second single, Odaiba Moonlight Serenade.

On December 6, it is announced on ASAYAN that Nakazawa will release her debut solo album on December 12. The title is Nakazawa Yuko Dai Isshou, and is an album of original songs and cover songs. The song "Sutenaide yo" is used to promote the album.''

On December 12, Nakazawa released her debut album, Nakazawa Yuko Dai Isshou.

1999

From January 5, Nakazawa started co-hosting the infotainment show Idol wo Sagase alongside Heike Michiyo.

In May, it is announced that Nakazawa will go on an enka campaign, supported by Inaba Atsuko. The campaign is similar to the one she did for her debut single in the summer of 1998. Nakazawa is handing out flyers and signing posters. She is followed by staff members carrying flags, as well as Inaba helping the staff and Nakazawa.

On the ASAYAN episode aired June 6, we see Nakazawa recording the PV for her third single.

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.

On August 10, Nakazawa was an MC at Miyoshi Chinatsu's Debut Event.

On December 28, Nakazawa and Heike handed over their roles as hosts of "Idol wo Sagase" to Iida Kaori and Toda Rinne.

2000

In February, Nakazawa was placed in Akagumi 4, one of the three Hello! Project shuffle units that Tsunku started as a project. All three units released singles on March 8 as a sales competition.[9] Akagumi 4's single "Akai Nikkichou" sold the most out of the three groups, ranking #2 on the Oricon singles chart with 271,640 copies sold in the first week.[10]

On June 11, Tsunku announced on an episode of ASAYAN that Nakazawa was going to release her fourth single. He also said: "As I was talking with my staff, we agreed not to limit her potential as an enka artist but to expand her horizon as a Nakazawa Yuko, just the way she was. [The single] may fit into the category of “adult contemporary” in J-pop. But I produced this song in hope for creating the best pop song." Nakazawa later said said she was so happy it wasn't enka, because she was uncomfortable seeing herself as an enka singer.[11]

On July 9, Nakazawa performed the song live on TV for the first time.

On July 12, she released her fourth 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".

Fukuda Asuka's graduation had a significant impact on Nakazawa, but it didn't cause her to think about herself graduating at all. However, once Ishiguro Aya graduated, Nakazawa realized that she would need to think about it, especially because she had more things she wanted to do.[12]

On March 7, Nakazawa announced that she would graduate from Morning Musume on April 15 at the end of their spring concert tour. She said in an interview in 2018 that she really didn't discuss her decision to graduate with anyone. She only told the group when she had to, and she sort of told them in a way like, this is what she wants, this is what's happening, and no one really talked about it after. However, after her graduation concert, she still had to finish up the first Morning Musume musical[13]. She then 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.[14]

In April, Iida and Rinne handed over their roles as hosts of "Idol wo Sagase" to Nakazawa and Inaba Atsuko.

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

While Nakazawa was in Morning Musume, she had own radio show Nakazawa Yuko ALL NIGHT Nippon SUPER, which was cancelled after her graduation. 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. A concert was held at Shibuya AX where they sang songs from this album, folk songs not featured on the album and songs from their solo careers. This concert would later be released on VHS and DVD.

Nakazawa had acted while being in Morning Musume, but her debut in a drama would be her first this year, in Beauty 7. In the years to come she would star in more dramas, with probably Gokusen being the most famous one. She also starred in her first musical, "Footloose".

    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.[49]
    • 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".[50]
    • Said in a 2018 interview that Morning Cop and Pinch Runner left the deepest impact on her looking back over the last 20 years[51].
    • Said in a 2018 interview that her favorite song, putting aside her graduation song, her favorite might be Kimagure Princess[52].
