A voice that heralded the dawn of Japanese R&B.
This is one of her early debut albums, in which she burst onto the scene like a comet, with her overwhelming vocal power and groove that is unlike anything else Japanese.
Her husky, powerful vocals ride brilliantly over the electronic beats, and her sound, which is conscious of global standards, is extremely important amid the current reevaluation of city pop.
