Biography[edit]
Fujii was born as the first child to a father who was aJapanese National Railwaysemployee and a mother who was a beautician. When he was a junior high school student, he encountered the Japanese rock band CAROL and started playing music.[3]After graduating from Nanchiku High School, he joined the Moji Railway Administration Bureau of the Japan National Railways (nowKyushu Railway Company), and after a six-month apprenticeship atTosu Station,he worked as a freight train operator atHaiki Station,maneuvering and switching freight trains. He belonged to theNational Railway Workers' Union(Kokurō).[4]
In 1983, after retiring from the Japanese National Railways, Fujii made his debut as the lead singer of The Checkers and had many hits. Not only his singing ability, but also his appearance and behavior attracted attention, and more and more young people imitated his progressive fashion. He also wrote lyrics for most of the original songs released as singles, and became a central figure in songwriting. In 1992, The Checkers disbanded, and the following year, 1993, Fujii changed the spelling of his first name fromkanjitokatakana,and started his solo career. Naoyuki Fujii, his younger brother, was also a part of The Checkers and began pursuing a solo career as well. Together they did the project F-Blood in the late 1990s. At the time of the breakup, Fujii was invited to the U.S. byGota Yashiki,who was living in Los Angeles at the time. Kenji Suzuki, who also lived in Los Angeles, chose him and bought him aGibson B-25 guitar.The first song he composed using this guitar was"True Love".The song, released the same year, sold 2.4 million copies,[5]and "Another Orion", released in 1996, sold over 1.2 million copies.[5]
In addition to singing, he has held solo exhibitions under the name "FUMIYART"[6]and produced the Nagoya City Pavilion "Tower of the Earth" forExpo 2005(recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's largest kaleidoscope).[7]He has also appeared in many TV dramas, and provided the voice ofRock Holmesfor the2003Astro Boyseries,in addition to writing and singing its ending theme "Boy's Heart."
His songwriting credits include "Shiroi Kumo no Youni" (composed by Naoyuki Fujii) for the band Saruganseki and "Hoshizora no Katasumi de" (lyrics and composition) forMisia.He has also produced four songs, including "Heart-Shaped Tears" forHinano Yoshikawa.[8]His many contributions to the local community include composing the Kurume song "Furusato no Sasayaki" for his hometown Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, providing the design for the Kurume Citizen Card, creating the logo forFukuoka Broadcasting Corporation,and designing the uniform for his alma mater Nanchiku High School.[9]The nickname of Kagoshima City FM, the firstcommunity radiostation to open inKagoshima Prefectureon October 1, 1997, "FRIENDS FM 762," was named by Fujii.[10]He has also designed the countdown T-shirts for the1998 Winter Olympics.The T-shirts were engraved with the number of days remaining until the day of the 1998 games, and Fujii was in charge of designing the shirts from 500 to 401 days before the games.[11]
In 2007, Fujii wrote the lyrics and composed the song "Chinju no Sato" in praise of the 62nd Jingū Shikinen Sengū. It is included in the single "Kimi ni Naru." He stayed inIse, Miefor three days and composed the song on the riverbank of theIsuzu Rivernear the Uji Bridge.[12]
On December 31, 2008, at a countdown live performance at theNippon Budokan,Fujii tied withEikichi Yazawafor first place with 102 performances, including performances during the Checkers era, under the name F-BLOOD, and as a solo artist.[13]In response, he said that he was honored to have stood on the same stage as Yazawa at the Budokan since CAROL (with Yazawa) was the reason why he started his music career.[13]
In November 2019, Fujii opened an official channel on YouTube.
