Background notes
Archive material and source history
Kumiko Mori was born in Kawachi-nagano, Osaka Prefecture in 1957. She started playing piano and guitar early on, and in 1979 joined the folk band Neko. Her solo career took off with the 1986 release of "Niji ga Umareta Hi" (The Day the Rainbow Was Born), a gentle folk-pop song that became widely popular in Japan.
That song's melody and hopeful lyrics connected with listeners during a period of economic recession. Mori released over ten studio albums, including "Namida wa Ashita ni Irete" in 1984 and "Yume no Shirabe" in 1987. She worked with musicians like guitarist Masahiko Sato and bassist Yoshio Kimura.
In the late 1990s, health issues interrupted her work, but she returned to music in 2005. Mori performed and recorded until her death in 2015.
