The Tokyo singer-songwriter behind the 2008 chart-topper "Daijobu Dayo" and a catalog of thoughtful ballads.
For a quick sense of her style, try "My Love" or "Sora, Kaze, Nami, Yume." Both have that clear, unhurried quality she does so well.
Her 2008 single "Daijobu Dayo" spent weeks at number one in Japan and won a Gold Disc Award the following year. That song's success anchors a catalog full of gentle, melodic pop like "My Love" and "Sora, Kaze, Nami, Yume." She's worked with notable producers including Yoko Kanno and Tetsuya Komuro, but her voice always feels personal and unforced.
She debuted in 2006 with "Ashita" and won the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist that same year. The massive success of "Daijobu Dayo" in 2008 defined her public profile, but she's continued releasing songs like "Motto!" and "Mou Hitotsu No Yakusoku" in the years since.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
