LOVE, a vocalist with certain skill as a singer, also has a great originality in composition as we find all of her songs written by herself.
Influenced by 70's folk and 90's alternative rock plus a variety of other music genres, she is impelled by the sound of the acoustic guitar and often plays a
big-bodied red Gibson on stage.
The 1st album 'Embryo Love Songs' released in December 2007. It was finished up in a superior electronic sound featuring her favorite acoustic guitar sound. As well as her sound, her lyrics are written from a very unique point of view which characterizes LOVE's music. Lyrics created by a rich imagination toward the
future and the gazing eyes that watch severe reality at the same time create her one and only world. It is a world of her music that not only amuses us but makes us think. Her songs are written mainly in Japanese, partly in English.
The fact that she is a perfect bilingual soothes even the English speakers to listen to her perfect pronunciation. Fully English written songs are awaited.



LOVE's first one-man live tour was held in March 2008. Supported by characteristic musicians, all who work as the artist themselves. Hiromichi Koike on Bass, Toshiki Hata (Tokyo Incident) on drums & PABLO (P.T.P) on electric guitar. With LOVE on vocal and acoustic guitar, this 4-piece band fascinated the audience by a dignified performance. Not only her recorded sound, but her live performances also are something special.
People in the list of LOVE's admirers such as YOKO ONO, Joni Mitchell, Osamu Tezuka and Kanpei Hazama are all artists who have been and still is presenting PEACE in each original way of expression, building a particular stance through a long term. So is LOVE, an artist with high esteem as you can see in her fearless name itself.
