Nikki Morita, born on March 31, 1957, is a former Japanese actress and singer. Her real name is Harumi Kondo, formerly known as Morisurname. During her early career, she was affiliated with the Kamijō Produce Office. She is fondly known as "Nikki". Hailing from Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, her distinctive and unique appearance, influenced by her French grandfather, caught the attention of scouts and led her to enter the entertainment industry. In 1973, she made her singing debut under RCA Victor. That same year, she became a regular on Tokyo 12ch's "Playgirl Q." During her early years as a newcomer, she aimed to become a singer similar to Elvis Presley and admired Wada Akiko. She appeared in numerous weekly magazines, variety shows, quiz programs, and dramas. On TV Asahi's "Dokusen! Onna no 60 Fun," she fearlessly took on the role of a reporter. In 1988, she took a hiatus from her entertainment activities. Currently residing in Chiba City, she resumed her singing career in July 2002, primarily performing chansons and adult-oriented songs at live houses in Tokyo and Chiba City. During her hiatus in 1997, she encountered Shadow Box and became a student of Michiko Sekiguchi. Since 2009, she has frequently held solo exhibitions. (Source: Wikipedia Japan "森田日記")
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
