Yumiko Cheng is a Hong Kong-based Cantopop singer. Cheng was given the Japanese nickname "Yumiko" by her friends in secondary school, and upon signing with EEG, adopted it as her official stagename.〔Tran, Jenny. (Yumiko Cheng Q&A ). 5 February 2007. Retrieved 22 July 2007.〕 ==Career== Yumiko was originally marketed as a member of the group ''3T'' (along with Mandy Chiang and Maggie Lau), which released an EP in 2002. Yumiko's potential was, however, quickly identified by the company, and she went onto become the only member of the group to release her own solo EP later that year. This was followed by a second EP, ''DanceDanceDance'' (舞舞舞) and her first full-length album ''One2Three'', in 2003. In 2004, she released the album, ''Perfect Date'', though made a decreasing number of media appearances due to health problems and an overall strategy re-evaluation within her company. 2005 saw a return with the lead single 'Arabian Market' (亞拉伯市場), complemented by a novel image that featured her in traditional Arabic dress. She would continue onto covering various Middle-Eastern pop hits in subsequent singles such as 'Lupine Girl' (狼女, originally sung by Aneela Mirza) in 2006, and 'Five Centuries' (五個世紀, OT:''Bechom Shei'' In The Heart of Tel Aviv) in 2008, which became a minor hit in its own right in the Chinese dance charts, and was even mentioned in a report by a major Israeli newspaper.〔Arad, Boaz. (Israeli hit tops China music charts ). 10 February 2009. Retrieved 11 February 2009.〕 ''Yumiko's Space'', the 2005 album to which 'Arabian Market' (亞拉伯市場) belonged, otherwise showed an 80s disco and electronic influence. Veteran music producer Carl Wong (王雙駿) took on songwriting and production credits for 6 songs, including that of the second single 'Think' (想). Electronic pop duo PixelToy also contributed one song, who again appear with songwriting credits on Cheng's 2008 Mandarin album ''Spectacular Era'' (精彩年代). Cheng has interviewed in the past that ''Yumiko's Space'' remained a personal favourite of all her albums. Aside from a career in pop music, Cheng has also starred in several films, more notably making a special guest appreance in Stanley Kwan's 2005 feature, ''Everlasting Regret''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yumiko Cheng」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
