Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ikkyu Nakajima was born in Tokyo in 1959. He started with classical piano as a child, then got into punk rock as a teenager. In 1981, he helped form the band Sweet Sweat Sweets, which mixed pop, rock, and electronic sounds. Their debut album 'Sweet Surrender' came out the next year.
Sweet Sweat Sweets had a string of hits in the 1980s, including the song 'Sweet Sweat Sweats'. Nakajima's lyrics and performances sometimes stirred up trouble, touching on subjects that didn't sit well with everyone. The band's sound was built around his unusual voice and stage style.
He kept writing and performing with that same mix of catchy tunes and pointed words. The song 'Sweet Sweat Sweats' gives you a pretty clear idea of what he was doing.
