Tamaki Nami was born on June 1st, 1988 in Wakayama. Her parents named her "Nami" with the first kanji "成" coming from "seikou" (成功; ''success'') and the second kanji "実" meaning "fruit"--thus, the hope that the "fruits" of her "successes" will grow. She began learning classical ballet at the age of 3. From an early age she longed to be an entertainer, not necessarily a singer--at first, she wanted to be a ballerina, then a parade dancer, then any type of dancer. Finally she settled on singing due to her admiration for Janet Jackson, and started doing strength training to become more like her. Starting in 1999, she attended an actors' school.
 +
 
 +
Between the years 2001 and 2002, Tamaki was a contestant in a star search competition organized by [[Sony Music Entertainment]]. She eventually won by singing the [[Wikipedia:Destiny's Child|Destiny's Child's]] song "[[Wikipedia:Survivor (Destiny's Child song)|Survivor]]" at the contest finale in 2002 at Zepp Tokyo. She rose to stardom with her debut single "[[Believe (Tamaki Nami)|Believe]]", which was released on April 23rd, 2003 when she was only 15 years old. The titular song was used as an opening theme song for the [[Anime|anime]] ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED]]''. It reached #5 on the [[Oricon]] weekly charts, where it charted for 24 weeks and sold 194,167 copies.
  
−
Nami was one of the winners of the 18th Annual [[Japan Gold Disc Award's]] New Artist of the Year, thus, the term "stardom" should not be used lightly in the first sentence. She definitely has a bright future ahead of her as she is still very young, being born in 1988. She is also backed by [[Sony]], meaning she obviously has an apparent unlimited funding.
+
In 2008, after five years of being with [[Sony Music Entertainment]], she transferred labels to [[Universal Music]]. Her last Sony release, the remix best of album ''[[Tamaki Nami Reproduct Best|TAMAKI NAMI REPRODUCT BEST]]'', was simultaneously released with "[[Give Me Up|GIVE ME UP]]", her first single on the new label. They were released on March 25th, 2009. In 2011, Nami announced that she transferred labels to the [[TEICHIKU ENTERTAINMENT, INC.]] sub-label [[Imperial Records]]. She released her first single with the new label called "[[Lady Mind|LADY MIND]]" in January 2012 produced by [[MONDO GROSSO|DJ Osawa Shinichi]]. Since then, she has released two more singles under the same label until 2014 where she transferred to another label, [[Warner Bros. (Japan)|Warner Bros.]].
  
−
Sony sent Nami, along with other Sony artists such as [[T.M.Revolution]], to perform at several anime conventions in 2004. Her songs are generally very upbeat and supported with a strong dance choreography as can be seen from her [[PV|PVs]]. Nami's second album [[Make Progress]] has claimed the No.1 spot on the Oricon Charts for the daily albums on the first day of its release! Nami's third album, [[Speciality]], was released in July 12th, 2006.
+
In 2014, Tamaki announced that she had become frustrated as she was having trouble singing her songs. She then went on to state that she had been struggling with sinitus since a young age and had regularly been receiving treatment, but decided to get surgery to fix the problem. Once recovered, she said that she felt good and no longer had problems. However, in 2015 she was diagnosed with vocal nodules as she had been having pain while singing once again. Tamaki stated that she would be receiving treatment during her current activities and that her plans for her upcoming musical would continue as planned. Due to her condition, she had to cut back her performance set-list while promoting for "[[Everlasting Love (Tamaki Nami)|Everlasting Love]]", her 25th single which was released under [[SPACE SHOWER MUSIC]].
  
−
==Natural Talent Controversy==
+
Her 26th single, "[[Connect the Truth]]", was released August 5th, 2020 under [[Lantis]].
−
As stated earlier, Tamaki Nami is known for her strong dancing, which has cast doubt on her natural ability as a singer. Many Youtube viewers have expressed concerns over whether her voice is really hers in the recorded tracks. Her live performances, whilst in addition to requiring her to perform choreographed dancing found in her PVs, also require her to sing the entire song. Many viewers have noted that her pitch is off and does not sound like the recorded single. However, fans of hers have dismissed as her being merely breathless from all the dancing, and hence unable to hit the exact note as heard on the pre-recorded singles.

Tamaki Nami was born on June 1st, 1988 in Wakayama. Her parents named her "Nami" with the first kanji "成" coming from "seikou" (成功; success) and the second kanji "実" meaning "fruit"--thus, the hope that the "fruits" of her "successes" will grow. She began learning classical ballet at the age of 3. From an early age she longed to be an entertainer, not necessarily a singer--at first, she wanted to be a ballerina, then a parade dancer, then any type of dancer. Finally she settled on singing due to her admiration for Janet Jackson, and started doing strength training to become more like her. Starting in 1999, she attended an actors' school.

Between the years 2001 and 2002, Tamaki was a contestant in a star search competition organized by Sony Music Entertainment. She eventually won by singing the Destiny's Child's song "Survivor" at the contest finale in 2002 at Zepp Tokyo. She rose to stardom with her debut single "Believe", which was released on April 23rd, 2003 when she was only 15 years old. The titular song was used as an opening theme song for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam SEED. It reached #5 on the Oricon weekly charts, where it charted for 24 weeks and sold 194,167 copies.

In 2008, after five years of being with Sony Music Entertainment, she transferred labels to Universal Music. Her last Sony release, the remix best of album TAMAKI NAMI REPRODUCT BEST, was simultaneously released with "GIVE ME UP", her first single on the new label. They were released on March 25th, 2009. In 2011, Nami announced that she transferred labels to the TEICHIKU ENTERTAINMENT, INC. sub-label Imperial Records. She released her first single with the new label called "LADY MIND" in January 2012 produced by DJ Osawa Shinichi. Since then, she has released two more singles under the same label until 2014 where she transferred to another label, Warner Bros..

In 2014, Tamaki announced that she had become frustrated as she was having trouble singing her songs. She then went on to state that she had been struggling with sinitus since a young age and had regularly been receiving treatment, but decided to get surgery to fix the problem. Once recovered, she said that she felt good and no longer had problems. However, in 2015 she was diagnosed with vocal nodules as she had been having pain while singing once again. Tamaki stated that she would be receiving treatment during her current activities and that her plans for her upcoming musical would continue as planned. Due to her condition, she had to cut back her performance set-list while promoting for "Everlasting Love", her 25th single which was released under SPACE SHOWER MUSIC.

Her 26th single, "Connect the Truth", was released August 5th, 2020 under Lantis.
