"I Missed the Shock" is the 22nd single by Japanese entertainer Akina Nakamori. Written by Qumico Fucci, the single was released on November 1, 1988, by Warner Pioneer through the Reprise label. It was also the sixth single from her fourth compilation album Best II.[1][2]
Background
"I Missed the Shock" was written by Qumico Fucci (福士 久美子, Fukushi Kumiko), who was a member of the band Sherbets. It was arranged by the band Eurox, who were involved in Nakamori's 1986 album Fushigi. On live performances of the song, Nakamori wore a costume that she found on an Isetan department store magazine advertisement. Costume designer Mariko Koga was initially reluctant to provide it to Nakamori, but she saw Nakamori's enthusiasm and gave it to her. The costume was featured in Nakamori's Femme Fatale tour in 1989.[2]
Nakamori also performed the song on the 39th Kōhaku Uta Gassen, making her sixth appearance on NHK's New Year's Eve special. She would not appear on the special again until 2002.[3]
Fucci later covered the song on her 1994 album Sad Lion (悲しいライオン, Kanashī Raion).[4]
Chart performance
"I Missed the Shock" peaked at No. 3 on Oricon's weekly singles chart and sold over 311,200 copies, ending a streak of 16 No. 1 singles from 1984 to 1988.[5][6]
