Timeline

1964

Toshiki was born on April 7, 1964 in Londrina, Brazil to Japanese parents, both of whom owned a restaurant in Curitiba and lived a Nikkei community in Maringá.

His father, also a radio DJ, played songs from Japan from kayōkyoku and enka, as well as news from Japan.

He developed a taste for music at an early age and would lock himself in his room to practice singing for hours after school, memorizing the lyrics phonetically.

His father took notice, and wanted him to be a singer, but Toshiki's stage fright stopped him from doing so.

To encourage him, his father promised that if he became the champion of the Nodojiman National Contest, he would send him to Japan for a musical career.

Entering various singing contests, Toshiki won the Nodojiman National Contest at the age of 17 with a cover of "Blue Sky Blue" by Hideki Saijo.

With his win, his father bought him a plane ticket, and he was able to go to Japan.

Toshiki began a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant, where he was paid less than average because he was Brazilian, but it was at the job where he began having opportunities.

His boss asked him to sing for customers during breaks, and he gradually became known to the customers.

One of the customers invited Toshiki to record commercial jingles.

1981

Born in Brazil to Japanese parents, Toshiki travelled to Japan in 1981 to pursue a career in music, being chosen by producer Koichi Fujita to be the new lead vocalist of Omega Tribe after the disbandment of the previous incarnation of the band.

1985

By 1985, after failed attempts to get into a record label and to develop his musical career, Toshiki decided that if he could not get a deal, he would move on with his life and get into a new career.

While still working part time, he took vocal lessons and sung in commercial jingles, making a demo tape with songs in both English and Japanese and sending it to producers in hopes for more commercial work opportunities.

One of the tapes were given to Koichi Fujita, a music producer.

Fujita had wanted to continue Omega Tribe, which were in the middle of their final tour, and contacted Toshiki for an audition to become their new lead vocalist.

1986

Carlos Toshiki Takahashi (カルロス・トシキ・タカハシ) is a Japanese Brazilian singer and farmer known for being the singer for the Japanese band Omega Tribe from 1986 to 1991.

To help Toshiki get into the aesthetic of the band, as well as to get to know him better, Fujita took him to Hawaii.

During the trip, Toshiki commented on the similarity between the Japanese word for "thousand" (千) and the Portuguese word for "hundred" (cem), which Fujita also found interesting, contacting a lyricist to create a song based on the pronunciations.

The song would become 1986 Omega Tribe's debut single, "Kimi ha 1000%", which Toshiki sang without understanding most of the lyrics.

The single was an instant hit, and the band were able to complete two albums, Navigator in 1986 and Crystal Night in 1987, before one member, guitarist Teruka Kurokawa, left the band due to health issues.
