Editor's note

Yui Makino's folk-pop voice and Ghibli connections

A singer whose gentle songs and work with Joe Hisaishi have defined a quietly influential career.

For a sense of her style, try "Yume No Tsubasa (English Version)" or the more recent "Jasmin." They show the quiet, melodic space she's worked in for years.

Her 2007 single "Yume no Tsubasa" was a chart success in Japan, and her catalog includes songs like "Jasmin" that blend folk and classical touches. She's worked with composer Joe Hisaishi on projects like the 2013 piece "The Wind Rises," linking her sound to the world of Studio Ghibli films.

She debuted in 2003 with "Ima, Kimi o Wasurenai" and released albums like "Taiyou no Uta" in 2004 and "Origin" in 2017. After vocal cord surgery in 2017, she returned to performing, with songs like "Synchronicity" and "Colors Of Happiness" marking her later output.
