Hideki Saijo
Hideki Saijō was a renowned Japanese singer and TV personality. He was born Tatsuo Kimoto on April 13, 1955 in Hiroshima. He began his career in the early 1970s, with the release of his first album Koi Suru Kisetsu (1972). He was considered part of the "New Big Three," alongside Goro Noguchi and Hiromi Go, and was recognized for his music aimed at inspiring young men. Throughout the decade, he released important albums such as Jonetsu No Arashi (1973) and Kono Ai No Tokimeki (1975). He is most famous for his version of the Village People's "Y.M.C.A.," reimagined in Japanese as "Young Man" in 1979. In the 1980s, he released albums such as Sentimental Girl (1981) and Ude No Nakae (1985). During the 1990s, he had a commercial resurgence thanks to his appearance in the anime Chibi Maruko-chan as well as his successful cover of Enrique Iglesias's "Bailamos." He also performed on "Turn a Turn," the opening theme for ∀ Gundam, and contributed to The Emperor's New Groove as the character Lucky Mucho. In 2003, Hideki Saijo suffered a mild stroke while performing in South Korea. However, he made a recovery and returned in 2006 with the single "Meguriai." Hideki Saijo passed away on May 16, 2018. He was a recipient of numerous Japan Record Awards, including a Special Achievement Award in 2018, cementing his legacy in the Japanese music industry. In 2023, various live shows from the early 1980s were uncovered and released, including Big Game '82 Hideki Summer In Ohmuta.
