Born February 12, 1920 is a China-born Japanese actress and singer who made a career in China, Japan, Hong Kong, and the United States. By the 1940s, she became one of the Seven great singing stars. She was elected as a member of parliament in Japanese Government in 1970's and served for 18 years.

a Manchurian girl who had command over both the Japanese and Chinese languages was sought after. From this she rose to be a star and Japan-Manchuria Goodwill Ambassadress (日満親善大使). Though in her subsequent films she was almost exclusively billed as Li Xianglan, she indeed appeared in a few as "Yamaguchi Yoshiko". Many of her films bore some degree of promotion of the Japanese national policy (in particular pertaining to the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere ideology) and can be termed "National Policy Films" (国策映画).

  • She loved China as her homeland at the sametime she loved Japan as her Motherland.

    It must have been difficult for her because both countries were in the war then.

  • She was a stunning beauty and good soprano.

    She is 89 now and well.

    Her incomparable extraordinary life should be told in English.

    Magda Olivero and Julietta simionato are both 99 and well, I might add.

  • This is not a political blog even though many viewers posted adverse comments on her tainted past as being accused for being a Japanese spy working in China (period). But her contributions to Chinese music scene & ever green songs are considerable. Now among the older Chinese generations, who don't know of Li Xiang Lan as a great singer ? History must judge a balance perspective. Yes the past always comes back to haunt everyone. This is life.

  • Beautiful sound.

  • wow, the song is so old

  • Not only is she very pretty, she has a beautiful voice that is so rare. If only we could have some latest news about her. Thank you for the chance to listen to her fantastic voice. Irene

  • Very difficult...

    

  • 李香蘭さんの賣糖歌の髪型(両耳のところで丸くアクセサリーで結­わえた型)がとてもかわいいです。
