One of the most interresting Japanese singer, with a really unique voice.
Even if i don't like everything she did she really deserves her "official tread".   She released a dozen of albums (and more singles) since her debut in 1991 and played in two of Shunji Iwai's movies (Picnic and Swallowtail butterfly). My favorites are the recent ones, A scenery like me and especially Madrigal. But her best-of Caramel milk is for me an absolut must-ear. I also like Montage very much (it's the album of the movie Swallowtail butterfly of the fictive Yen-Town Band). She also did a duet with Yuki : even if it's not the best of what they both did it's really nice (and kind special). She is too the founder of the girls-band Mean Machine where she plays drum (with Yuki again, and the actress Ayumi Ito as singer), and that band, guys, it really rocks.  For more informations, bio and discography : - Wikipedia page - Official site (really beautyful) I didn't found a lot of videos but here are the few I have : >> Crazy for you (her new single, I absolutly love this song )>> Sekai >> 光と私 >> Ai no Jibaku souchi (with Rolly) >> Ai no hi 3tsu orange (Chara + Yuki) >> Suha (Mean Machine) (Ayumi Ito rules )>> Sunday Park (Yen-Town Band) (extract of Swallowtail Butterfly) >> My Way (Yen-Town Band) (extract of Swallowtail Butterfly) (sorry Frankie you're definitely out) >> Swallowtail butterfly (Yen-Town Band)

I absolutely LOVE her song "70% Yuugure no Uta". One of my all time favorite songs. She is a very talented woman~

I only know her as the actress from Swallowtail Butterfly, but she was awesome there.

Hi Ginger ! I guess you're Shunji Iwai Fan ?
Swallowtail Butterfly was the first of his films I saw, and it was such a revelation And you're right, Chara is wonderful in this movie, the first time i saw (and ear) her singing My Way I cried you can't imagine how much  (Even if finally I prefer All about lily Chou-Chou - and I cry when I see this movie too  )If you like the movie I think you gonna love the Yen-town Band album Montage :

I only have Swallowtail and Lily, but they are two of my favorite films of all time now. I actually saw Lily first, and have watched it maybe a dozen times now--each time, I see something new. Swallowtail I adore, as well, even though the two are so different. I'm going to get my Master's in film, after I spend a year in Korea, and I know Iwai will be one of my major influences in style.
Have you seen Picnic? I know Chara is in it, too, but I haven't been able to find many reviews on it. OH, and where can I get ahold of Montage?!??!!?! It's so hard to find stuff relating to Swallowtail Butterfly!! -ginger -------------------- |

I haven't seen Picnic, but sure it will be one of the next Shunji Iwai movie i'll see (I recently bought Fried dragon fish, it might be great). About a review, i don't have the time to find one, but one day I asked a friend of mine who saw the movie he answered : "everything Iwai do is great, so why do you worry ?"
I bought my CD of Montage on e-bay (here) . It a very quick and reliable seller (he's french, so it may take more time). But i found an american seller for you (and for the moment it's cheaper !). edit : if you don't trust ebay, i found it on CDJapan, but expensive... -------------------- Hop ! hop ! here is Bae Doo-Na's thread !

I like one of her old songs. I think it is called "Yasashii Kimochi".

Shes really interesting. I saw her in half of Shunji Iwai's 'Swallowtail Butterfly' (I really want to see the rest of this) and (also half of) 'Picnic' which was a pretty crazy movie.
