Biography

Tatsuhiko Yamamoto, born å±±æ¬éå½¦ on March 4, 1954, in Shinjuku, Tokyo, was a Japanese singer-songwriter. He began his musical journey as part of the Tokyo Boys' Choir during his second year at Gyosei Primary School and later performed on The Ed Sullivan Show during a goodwill tour through North America in 1964. Yamamoto's early career included forming a band called Orange while attending Seikei University, which won the Nippon TV band contest but disbanded in 1976. His solo debut came with Sudden Wind in 1978 under Universal Music Japan. Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Yamamoto achieved significant commercial success, with albums like I LOVE YOU SO (1982), LE PLEIN SOLEIL (1982), and MUSIC (1984) regularly appearing within the Top 20 of the Japanese Oricon Chart. His music, characterized by a blend of AOR and city pop genres incorporating disco, rhythm and blues, soft rock, and jazz, was often featured in advertisements. Yamamoto's influences included Sergio Mendes, Jimmy Webb, Burt Bacharach, and Donny Hathaway. In 1999, he launched his own label, Silence.
