A singer who moved from child acting to crafting songs for films and games.
For a quick sense of her range, listen to 'Platinum' and 'Shikisai'. They frame her sound pretty well.
Her debut single 'Yakusoku wa Iranai' in 1996 introduced a voice that would define a lot of anime soundtracks. She's worked with composers like Yoko Kanno, and songs like 'Platinum' show how she blends pop with jazz touches. That 1998 track 'Shikisai' with lyrics by Rei Nakanishi is still one of her most recognized pieces.
She started as a child actress in Tokyo before releasing her first single. Since then, she's put out over a dozen studio albums, including soundtracks for anime and games.
