Takako Uehara [上原 多香子, Uehara Takako] (born January 14, 1983) is a Jpop singer. She is a member of the group Speed. Uehara was born in Okinawa, Japan.Had almost forgotten about her till i came across her song in my mp3 archive.
Her highly anticipated first solo single 'My First Love' was released in January 1999, and was produced by legendary Jpop superstar Ryuichi Kawamura (of Luna Sea). "My First Love" was the beginning of a prosperous collaboration between Uehara and Kawamura. The single itself was very successful and topped the charts selling over 500,000 copies. The promotional video along with the cover and leaflet photos for 'My First Love' were all shot on location in Hawaii. Uehara followed up with her second and third singles, 'Come Close to Me' and 'My Greatest Memories'. In July 2000 following the disbandment of Speed, she became the first member of the group to release a solo album: My First Wing.
Uehara was selected by Taiwanese singer, Leehom Wang, to be the female lead for his music video, 'Heartbeat'. This is the 1st collaboration between the both of them.
She's not one with powerful vocal chords but i find her gentleness very calming.
Here are some fav clips of mine of her:
The reason Lee Hom picked her for the Xin Tiao (heartbeat) MV was because he thinks she has beautiful eyes. I agree. Lolz. Here's Xin Tiao:
