A Japanese singer-songwriter whose 2015 single 'Angelfall' broke through, then faced a vocal cord surgery and public controversy.
For a sense of her range, try 'Aoi Houseki No Kimi' and 'Animal Eyes.' They capture that blend of delicate melody and quiet intensity she does so well.
Her 2015 single 'Angelfall' topped Japanese charts and defined her piano-based sound, but her career isn't just about hits. She's also known for songs like 'Aoi Houseki No Kimi' and 'Gentle Night,' and she made headlines for criticizing government policies, which stirred public debate. That mix of melodic craft and outspokenness gives her music an extra layer of weight.
She debuted in 2009 with 'Kimi ga Inai Mirai,' then broke through with 'Angelfall' in 2015. A vocal cord polyp diagnosis in 2017 led to surgery and canceled shows, but she returned with albums like 'Aeternus' and 'Ephemeral.' Her work includes solo efforts and collaborations, often featuring piano versions like 'Silver Rain - Piano Version.'
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
