She attempted suicide in July 1989 in her then-boyfriend 近藤真彦 (Masahiko Kondo)'s apartment after discovering that 松田聖子 (Seiko Matsuda), her main competition, and her boyfriend were having an affair together. Afterward, she disappeared from the public eye and is rumored to have spent her days drinking heavily in Hawaii. Her career since her suicide attempt has never regained the popularity she experienced in the early- to mid-1980s. But she kept performing even after 1996. Her performances before Japanese audiences continue to be of high quality. Her 2000, 2002 and 2003 concerts attracted large numbers of fans. She still performs and releases original songs (as of 2005). She is also on the New Year’s TV show Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
I MISSED "THE SHOCK"

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あなたがわからなくなっていた
どんなシビアな小説よりも
心はふさぎこむ rainy day
眠り過ぎた回路はいつしか
心だけを取り残して行く
あの時の確かな口づけも
夢に消えてしまう slow down
もう届かない
全てが壊れ始める
I missed "the shock"
確かめられず
愛がもう取り残されるの
Shock!
Lonely night in the rain
Lonely night in the rain
Lonely night in the rain
Lonely night in the rain
雨を恐がる孤独のせいで
いつか寂しさに慣れてしまう
追いかけられた ずっと昔に
ぼんやり影を残して
疑う事より信じあえる
何かが今はかけてしまった
せまる夜の重さに押されて
明日を占う just a day
I missed "the shock"
もう判らない
未来を失くしてしまう
I missed "the shock"
愛を試した
涙は誘われて行くの
Shock!
Lonely night in the rain
Lonely night in the rain
Lonely night in the rain
何も見えない 見られない
ガラスごしの空
誰にも言えない 聞こえない
涙のため息
きれいなだけじゃ
優しいだけじゃ
空しいだけじゃない
I missed "the shock"
もう届かない
全てが壊れ始める
I missed "the shock"
確かめられず
愛がもう取り残されるの
Shock! Shock!
Woo I missed "the shock shock"
Woo I missed "the shock shock"
Woo I missed "the shock shock"
I missed "the shock shock"
I missed
"The shock shock shock"
I missed "the shock shock"
Woo I missed "the shock shock"
Woo I missed "the shock shock"
Woo I missed
"The shock shock shock"
Woo I missed "the shock"
愛を試した
涙は誘われて行くの
Shock!
The song I MISSED "THE SHOCK" by Akina Nakamori is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time. The lyrics describe a long day that has left the singer feeling disconnected from her lover, as if her heart has become trapped in a rainy day. She laments the loss of a passionate moment between them, represented by "the shock," and the feeling that it can never be regained. The use of "shock" suggests an unexpected jolt of emotion, perhaps indicating that the relationship started with a burst of excitement that has since waned.
The second half of the song shifts the focus to the future, with the singer feeling lost and uncertain about what is to come. She fears losing her connection to her lover, as represented by "the shock," and wonders if their love will be left behind. The use of rain as a recurring motif suggests a sense of loneliness and isolation, as if the singer is trapped inside her own emotions.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the complexities of human relationships and the emotional ups and downs that come with them. The use of vivid imagery and poetic language helps to create a sense of atmosphere and atmosphere throughout the song, making it a memorable and evocative piece of music.

この曲で連続首位記録が本作で途絶えたが
この頃BEST2などアルバムが発売になってる影響もある
BEST2Ｂ面一曲目にふさわしい曲
個人的には大好きな楽曲
最初は単楽器にリズムをのせ静かに踊りだす
しかし、終盤は
華やかさの大渦
何度も繰り返し、聞き手はトランスになる
この時代ではなかなか無い曲
@sho-sho-sei
このサムネイルの明菜の目はお母ちゃんのつり目やな。
少女Aのあどけない目はお父ちゃんの垂れ目になる。
日に日に両親の顔に変わるから昔から不思議な少女だと感じていました。
あの空き地で歌っていたあの幼い子供が
歌姫になるとは誰も思わなかっただろう。
かなりの努力家。
