Kazuhiro Moriuchi (森内 一寛, born November 18, 1947, in Kofu, Yamanashi) known professionally as Shinichi Mori (森 進一, Mori Shin'ichi) is a Japanese male enka singer and composer, who also sings folk and pop music. He has sold more than 90 million records, making him one of the best selling Japanese musicians.
Mori has been married and divorced twice, first to Reiko Ohara and then to Masako Mori. His sons, Takahiro Moriuchi and Hiroki Moriuchi, are the vocalists of the rock bands One Ok Rock and My First Story, respectively.
Career
In the beginning, Mori won a competition at Fuji Television Network in 1965. He debuted with the successful song "Onna no Tameiki" of the famous composer Inomata Kōshō in 1966.
His debut at Kōhaku Uta Gassen was in 1968, singing "Hana To Chō". His 1974 Japan Record Award-winning song "Erimo Misaki" (襟裳岬) was composed by Takuro Yoshida. His 1982 song "Fuyu no Riviera" (冬のリヴィエラ) was composed by Eiichi Ohtaki, former member of Happy End. His song "Ofukuro san" (おふくろさん) was covered by Sharam Q in their 1997 album Sharam Q no Enka no Hanamichi (シャ乱Qの演歌の花道). His 2003 song "Ōkami Tachi no Tōboe" (狼たちの遠吠え) was written and composed by Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi. His 2004 song "Saraba Seishun no Kageyo" (さらば青春の影よ) was written by Izumi Sakai.
In 2007, his musical godfather Kōhan Kawauchi became his enemy, because Mori added other lyrics into the original lyrics of "Ofukuro San" at the 57th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen. Shinichi's long career as an enka singer is well-known and he has had many appearances in Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
In October 2008, his single "Hatoba" debuted at number 27 on Japan's Oricon charts. The song was composed by himself. With the song "Hatoba", he became the first artist to have one hundred Top 100 singles in Japan's Oricon charts history.
