Editor's note

Mao Abe's piano beginnings and Tokyo pop career

A Tokyo-born singer-songwriter who debuted in 2009 with 'Sakura no Ame, Koi no Uta' and kept working through public scrutiny.

For a quick sense of her sound, try 'Watashi wa Anata ga Ii no Desu' or 'Give Me Your Love'. They frame that straightforward Tokyo pop voice she's got.

She's one of those artists who built a catalog that feels lived-in rather than just polished. Songs like 'Watashi wa Anata ga Ii no Desu' became well-known in Japan, and she's got this mix of earnest pop and slightly off-kilter titles like 'Hitomishiri no Uta ~Kyoukanshite Moraetara Ureshiitte Hanashi Desu~'. The fact she kept recording after that 2013 live lyric incident says something about sticking around.

She started with classical piano at four years old in Tokyo. Her debut single came in 2009 on Avex Trax, and she later recorded tracks like 'Saigo No Watashi' and 'I wanna see you' while navigating some public criticism.
