"Nanpasen" (難破船, lit. "Shipwreck") is the 19th single by Japanese entertainer Akina Nakamori. Written by Tokiko Kato, the single was released on September 30, 1987, by Warner Pioneer through the Reprise label. It was also the third single from her fourth compilation album Best II.[1][2]
Background
"Nanpasen" was originally recorded by Kato on her 1984 album Saigo no Dance Party (最後のダンスパーティ, Saigo no Dansu Pāti, lit. The Last Dance Party). Three years later, she requested Nakamori to sing the song on her 22nd birthday on a live TV performance.[2] Nakamori also performed the song on the 38th Kōhaku Uta Gassen, making her fifth appearance on NHK's New Year's Eve special.[3]
Kato re-recorded "Nanpasen" on her 1991 compilation Tokiko Best and her 2001 compilation My Best Album Tokiko Today. Nakamori has re-recorded the song for the 1995 compilation True Album Akina 95 Best and her 2007 compilation Ballad Best: 25th Anniversary Selection.
"Nanpasen" became Nakamori's 17th No. 1 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 413,000 copies.[4][5]
