Nakaido was born in
Shinjuku, Tokyo in 1950. While attending high school, he formed a band named Furuido. After personnel changes, Furuido became a duo consisting of him and
Yoshitaro Kanazaki. They made a record debut in 1971. Their best-known number "Sanae chan", track 11 on
Furuido no Sekai was written by Nakaido. It sings about his first love Sanae in Kindergarten. He was with RC Succession until it ceased to perform in 1990. During his tenure, the group released noted songs like "Ameagari no Yozora ni" and enjoyed its peak of success. After 1991, Nakaido went solo performing with his own Chabo Band as well as Reiran, a duo with Kohei Tsuchiya. He performed with RC Succession partner
Kiyoshiro Imawano from time to time until Imawano's death in 2009, though the band never reunited. Nakaido composed much of the music for the anime
Serial Experiments Lain, which was eventually released as a soundtrack. RC Succession's song "Tooi Sakebi" (Cry in the Distance) was used as the ending theme for the series. == Discography ==
