Kazumi Takayama (高山 一実, Takayama Kazumi, born February 8, 1994) is a Japanese idol singer, actress, television personality, and writer. She is a member of Japanese idol group Nogizaka46, co-author of the self-help book Investment Methods that Keep My Money Growing Even Though I'm An Idol, and author of the novel Trapezium.

Early life[]

Takayama was born on February 8, 1994 in Minamibōsō, Chiba Prefecture.[1] She attended a small school in which she had the same classmates for many years, and she trained in kendo throughout elementary school and junior high school.[2]

Career[]

Nogizaka46[]

Takayama's entertainment career began in 2011 when she successfully auditioned for the first generation of the idol group Nogizaka46.[3] Beginning with the group's first release, Takayama has been regularly selected as one of the main recording and performing members on Nogizaka46 singles.[4] She has also performed on B-sides, including a 2012 acoustic duet with Mai Shiraishi, titled "Shibuya Blues", on Nogizaka46's fifth single "Seifuku no Mannequin".[5] As of 2020, Takayama has performed as part of the main selection group on every Nogizaka46 single.[6]

Her Nogizaka46 activities have also included acting roles in the television adaptation of the manga Bad Boys,[7] the baseball drama Hatsumori Bemars,[8] and the NHK taiga drama Hana Moyu,[9] as well as appearing in advertising campaigns for the Tourism Authority of Thailand,[10] Meiji Dairies,[11] and travel company Jalan.[12] As an individual performer she has appeared on several television variety shows, and has co-hosted the TBS program All Star After Party.[13][14] In 2016, her first solo photobook, titled Maybe it's Love (恋かもしれない, Koi kamo shirenai), was published. The photos in the book were taken on location in her hometown of Minamibōsō.[15] Her second photobook, Monologue (独白, Dokuhaku), with photos taken in Helsinki, was published in 2019.[16] In the Oricon weekly book sales ranking for its first week of publication, Monologue placed first in the photobook category.[17]

On July 22, 2021, Takayama announced her graduation from Nogizaka46 during an episode of the YouTube series Nogizaka 46-bu TV (乃木坂46分TV). Her final performance with the group was originally scheduled to take place at the Tokyo Dome on September 8–9,[18] but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19]

Writing[]

Takayama made her literary debut in January 2016 with the short story Carry-over (キャリーオーバー), which was published on the website of Japanese magazine Da Vinci and illustrated by fellow Nogizaka46 member Mai Fukagawa.[20] The next year she worked with Japanese investor Taizen Okuyama to learn about investing and track her own progress as an investor, which she and Okuyama then wrote about in a book published by PHP titled Investment Methods that Keep My Money Growing Even Though I'm An Idol (お金がずっと増え続ける投資のメソッド: アイドルのわたしでも, Okane ga zutto fuetsuzukeru tōshi no mesoddo: Aidoru no watashi demo).[21]

From May 2016 to September 2018, Takayama wrote a serialized novel titled Trapezium (トラペジウム, Torapejiumu) that was published in installments in Da Vinci. Trapezium tells the story of a young girl who has to make difficult choices to realize her dream of becoming an idol. The novel was published in a single volume in November 2018 by Kadokawa Shoten. In December 2018 the novel placed first in the Oricon book ranking in the literary category.[22] The publisher had to stop reprinting the book after the fourth printing, as inventory of the special paper used for the book's cover ran out.[23] A limited edition of the book with a wrapper containing commentary from fellow Nogizaka46 member Nanase Nishino was subsequently published.[24]
