She has a very unique, jazzy style. I also recommend dorlis, Aiko Okumura, Yoeko Kurahashi and Gymnopedie, if you like jazz or swing in Japanese.

Hey, i just discovered her with the Ghost hound opening. Didn't imagine she would've been there since 1996, i missed a lot of things. Do someone knows a biography, somewhere on the Net ? Or better, a fansite or something to learn more (i Googled it but didn't find)
