Daisuke Inoue (Japanese: 井上大輔; 13 September 1941 - 30 May 2000), stage name of Tadao Inoue (Japanese: 井上 忠夫) was a Japanese singer, composer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
Life and career
Born in Tokyo, Inoue started his musical career in 1960 as a member of the group Jackey Yoshikawa and His Blue Comets, serving as multi-instrumentist, vocalist and often also as composer. Among others, he penned the group's major hit "Blue Chateau" (ブルー・シャトウ, "Burū shatō"), which won a Japan Record Award and sold over one million copies.[1] After the group disbanded, Inoue started a career as a solo singer and as a composer for other artists, notably Finger 5 and Hiromi Go. In 1981 he adopted the stage name Daisuke Inoue to mark a fresh start to his career.[1][2] Among his major hits is "Ai Senshi", the theme song of the Mobile Suit Gundam film trilogy.[1] He also composed music for commercials, notably the popular tune "I Feel Coke" for a series of 1980s-1990s Coca-Cola commercials.[1]
Suffering from a retinal detachment that was not resolved by a recent surgery, and with his wife seriously ill, Inoue committed suicide by hanging on 30 May 2000, at the age of 58. His wife hanged herself one year later.[3]
