Biography

Though she now resides in Paris, Japanese singer/songwriter Kahimi Karie is still linked with the stylish, ultra-hip look and sound of Tokyo's Shibuya district, which also inspired like-minded artists such as Fantastic Plastic Machine, Pizzicato Five and Cornelius.

Oyamada asked her to sing with a band on his friend's label, and her sweet, sensual-yet-innocent vocal style was discovered.
