Lovely to add to my chilled playlist.
From 2005, but still solid.

I have been thoroughly chilling to this 2006 debut release from this talented lady from Japan.
A lovely mix of instrumental and minimal soft vocal tracks.
Very much Sigur Ros style.
This video is from her 2008 release which I haven’t managed to get hold of yet.

Japanese actress and singer.
Best known in the west for her tracks used in the Kill Bill epics.
Check out her Wikipedia page to be amazed at her range of talents.
(Make sure to rent/buy/steal the Lady Snowblood movies 1 and 2 that she acted in ;)

A rousing debut CD from Swedish singer Maia Hirasawa, after being the backing singer in Hello Saferide.
Pick up the CD over at her website. Click on the Buy button and you will get to the Razzia Records store with samples.

Japanese pop/electronica. I can never work out whether it is pure genius or utterly nuts. Whichever way, I love it.

A great video from her album “Ecdysis”. It is refreshing to hear something from her solo wise.
You may of heard of her before from her involvement with the band Cibo Mato whose albums “Viva La Women”, and “Stereotype A” are also well worth checking out. Cibo sometimes miss the spot for me, but there are some great tracks in there.
