Yumi Nakashima (中島優美, Nakashima Yumi, born December 1, 1979) is a Japanese vocalist, guitarist and singer-songwriter. She was the guitarist and main vocalist in the rock band GO!GO!7188 and is the founding member of Chirinuruwowaka. Nakashima has also released two solo albums since 2004.
Nakashima's interest in music started in middle school after hearing her older sister's cassette tape of the song "Shima Uta" by rock band The Boom. The following year, in 1993, Nakashima attended The Boom's concert at the Kagoshima Citizen's Cultural Hall and was inspired to form a band once in high school. [1]
In 2005, Nakashima formed Chirinuruwowaka after finding that she preferred to work with a band as opposed to being solo. [2]
In 2019, [3] Kazushi Tanaka (with whom Nakashima had previously worked with on her debut solo album) [4] invited her to do some work on the third album of his Shizuka Kanata project. Tanaka also brought in Anzu Suzuhara and Junpei Hayashida to contribute to the songs. [5] Eventually, they decided to form a band, naming it Yayyay. The group released their first mini album, I'm Here, in October 2020. [6]

During the production of Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, the 1987 debut work of anime studio Gainax, the only member of its main staff known to the general public was its musical director, electronic music pioneer Ryuichi Sakamoto, who had recently overseen the soundtrack to the top Japanese box office hit of 1986, Koneko Monogatari. Sakamoto and his assistants from Koneko Monogatari, musicians Koji Ueno, Yuji Nomi, and Haruo Kubota, composed 47 pieces of background music for Royal Space Force in a process that involved using "keywords" given by film director Hiroyuki Yamaga, examining the film's storyboards, making arrangements based on early "prototype" compositions, as well as composing several new original pieces of music as the project developed. 15 of the arrangements would be featured on the film's original soundtrack album.

ユウ 中学3年生のときに「島唄」（1992年）を、たまたま家族でドライブしていたときに姉のカセットテープで聴いて、すごい衝撃を受けました。それまでバンドなんて知らなかったし、音楽にもほとんど興味を持ってなかったけれど、初めて音楽っていいなと感じました。最初にTHE BOOMを生で観たのは1993年の鹿児島市民文化ホールで、それが人生初のライブ経験です。高校に入ったら絶対にバンドを組もうと思ったし、私の中では「音楽＝THE BOOM」でした。
