Artist Profile
Miyoshi KishikawaHi, I'm Miyoshi Kishikawa and I'm a singer.
I can see nothing since I was born and that's why not good at studying, any sports and music when I was a student.
Most of classmates were laughing at me and teachers ignored of that.
I was always a last person in sprint races, but I changed when the time I started to go to a school for the blind, 15 years old.
I could run fast as I hardly pumped up my body.
My teacher said that I should perticipate as a sprint runner in Tokyo Paralympics in 1964.
I perticipated in 100 meter sprint track and I've got a gold medal finally.
The Paralympics made me strong and change my mind to positive.
I started to do many business such as massage, hotel, making some products for curing by moxibustion and more.
I also published a few books written by myself.
These business and writing were so much great to me but most great thing is to be a singer.
Shosuke Ichikawa, who is a famous composer in Japan gave me a chance to debut.
I finally dealt with a construction beween me and King Records, a huge record company.
They released my songs, Harubiyori and Yukidoke at a same time.
After my CD released, I wanted to appear on TV program Kohaku Utagassen to sing on stage.
So I desided to get the distance as long as you can't imagine from my place to the NHK building TV station in Tokyo by walk with my wife to make my dream comes true.
It was wasting 95 days and also passing 1,500km from departed, we could see the NHK building.
I asked the staff of NHK with 40,000 signatures for me to appearing on the TV program, but his answer was no.
But it really didn't matter as I can or not.
I felt happy for my wife helping me and so many people cheered us up when we walk through from town to town.
That was a really special experience I never lost memories forever.

Thank you so much.
A dream leads me to the right direction.
