Naomi Chiaki (ちあき なおみ, Chiaki Naomi, born September 17, 1947) is a Japanese singer and actress who worked from the late 1960s to the early 1990s.
Chiaki made her debut as a singer in 1969, and released her breakthrough single "Yottsu no Onegai" in the following year. "Kassai", a song which has been commonly considered her signature song was released in 1972 and gained success, and finally won the 14th Japan Record Award.[1] "Kassai" sold over one million copies by February 1973, and was awarded a gold disc.[2]
After marrying the actor Eiji Go in 1978, Chiaki continued her career intermittently until circa 1992. However, she disappeared from the Japanese entertainment after her spouse died of lung cancer.[3]
In 2024 on her 55th debut anniversary, all of her 425 songs has become available on the streaming and for digital download.[4]
