Biography

edit

Tahara is from Kofu, the capital city of Yamanashi Prefecture.[5] He started acting in 1978, and officially debuted in June 1980, aged 19, with his first single 哀愁でいと(NEW YORK CITY NIGHTS), which made it to no. 2 in the Oricon Chart.[6] Tahara was noted for his dancing skills, which he showed during songs like "Dakishimete Tonight" (抱きしめてTONIGHT) (1988) and "Kakkotsukanai ne" (かっこつかないね) (1988).[7] In 1983 at the age of 22, he was featured in a 40" minute dance show and music documentary Love Forever directed by Umetsugu Inoue.[8]

Tahara was invited to perform in the prestigious NHK year-end programme Kōhaku Uta Gassen from 1980 to 1986.

He made a comeback, 33 years after his debut, in June 2012 with the release of his 68th single, titled "Mr. Big".[9] On June 19, 2013, he released his first original album in 15 years.[10] In 2014, he celebrated the 35th anniversary of his debut.[5][11][12]
