As a singer Akina came to be known for her mature yet rebellious style and powerhouse vocals, but also for her ever changing image both visually and musically as opposed to the conservative J-Pop scene. Together with Seiko Matsuda she dominated the 80's J-Pop scene and they were continuously rivaled by the media especially for their commercial success and contrasting "dark vs. light"-image conflict. Akina's so-called golden era situates between 1982 to 1989 till she attempted suicide for the failed romance with Kondo Masahiko. She has never gained back the popularity she once had from early to mid 1980's, yet she has still been able to maintain a somewhat steady career and her influence on the music industry never goes unnoticed. Today, Akina's built her image more as a cover artist with her Utahime cover albums with the award winning Enka. In 2024 she was the 21st best selling artist in Japan with over 25,1 million records sold. With a career as long as 41 years,nshe has explored many different music genres including pop, rock, R&B, jazz, blues, enka, folk and Latin music. After taking a series of hiatuses from 2010 to 2022 due to health issues, Akina has announced her slow yet certain return to the music industry after starting up a new management office, HZ VILLAGE. She released her self-cover of 1984's "Kita Wing" in 2023, and shortly after a behind-the-scene video and Youtube channel went up at December 25 of the same year as a Christmas present to fans who waited for her. At her first ever interview appearance at 2024, she revealed that she'll be releasing new music sooner.
