ULTIMATE DIAMOND – NANA MIZUKI is a very big hit CD. NANA MIZUKI is originally a voice-over actress, who ever worked on NARUTO, a very popular young generation anime. She acts as HINATA on NARUTO.

She started as such, later she sings in the animation and released some of the hit CDs as above.

She has been selected to one of the singers at the year end  TV program, called Kou Haku Uta Gassen, which means Song battle between white and red teams.  White consists of male and red by female.  This has long been the top rating TV program in Japan and the rate often hit more than 50%, and at the highest time, as far as I remember, it recorded more than 70% rating.

This is really crazy high record.  TV rating usually is regarded high if it’s more than 20% in Japan, but this marked more.

This TV program is a kind of national entertainment, and we enjoy seeing it every year end, December 31st at 9:00pm start.  With this TV program, 1 year of Japanese people ends.  It’s a national event, I can say so.

NANA MIZUKI is selected to join this.  It means she became a national singer.  But it’s also unusual because she started as a voiceover role, not a singer.  Her voice is charming enough and constant CD release made her famous in music too.

It’s really rare that voiceover actress makes NO.1 hit CD.  She did it with
