Music Producer

Born amidst the forested mountains where the Shimanto River begins its quiet journey in Ehime, Japan.
Her artistic voice first emerged during her time at music university, where she explored the fringes of electronic and contemporary sound, eventually bringing her sonic world to life on stage.
In 2007, she released her debut album Mirror Flake, followed by Your Thorn in 2011 - works that led her to perform across Denmark, Australia, and throughout Asia, weaving delicate, immersive live experiences.
In 2016, she collaborated with visual artist Akiyoshi Kitagawa on sidhe, a multi-channel sound installation enveloping VACANT in Harajuku with haunting layers of sound and image, accompanied by a 60-minute soundtrack.
After a period of quiet, she returned with the EP Koya in 2021 and Zanzo in 2024 - meditative works echoing landscapes both internal and external. Beyond her personal creations, her music has found homes in film (Confessions by Tetsuya Nakashima), television and web commercials (including for KOSE Sekkisei and SONY), animated works, and runway shows - each a canvas for her intimate and textured soundscapes.

FLAU is a record label based in Tokyo, Japan.

*Cuushe

Kyoto native dream pop artist Cuushe (who recently toured with Grouper in Japan), Using her mesmerizing airy vocals as the main instrument, Cuushe composes pop-infused electronic music that is lovable and yet uniquely different from any other song-based pop sounds out there. Together with the delicate lyrics penned by her, the multi-talented cuushe beautifully projects a subtle musical world that is carefully wrapped with sensitive emotion and fragile memories. her recent ep 'Girl You Know That I Am Here But The Dream' was featured Julia Holter, artwork by Rachel Evans (Motion Sickness Of Time Travel) and mastered by Miles Whitaker (Demdike Stare/Pendle Coven).

best japanese album in 2012 Time Out Tokyo

someone whose way of expressing the sacred beauty of pop isn't to yell and screech but to whisper and sigh. - The Guardian

Cuushe makes electro-melancholia that caresses you like waves lapping at the shore. ..exquisite. Dazed and Confused

a gorgeous and smooth masterfully-produced affair, whilst containing a crackling warmth and rawness - literally crackling in places. - The 405
