Aiko was my first introduction to Jpop, and when I listen to it, it gives me great memories, I am not the biggest fan of her, (hai hai Utada) but my wife is a big fan, and I just wanted to introduce her too you guys!
I think she makes really happy music, and can make a big smile on your face, she´s not really pretty or sexy, but Kawaii that´s for sure!
aiko (real name: Aiko Yanai) is a Japanese pop singer/songwriter. She was born on the 22nd November 1975 in Suita City, Osaka. She studied popular music vocals at the Osaka College of Music [1], graduating in 1996.
aiko is known for her cheerful disposition. Her music, which is primarily love songs, reaches a wide audience; particularly young girls all over East Asia and beyond. Oricon published the results of a survey with 20,000 subscribers' favourite singers, and aiko headed the list.
She is rather short (at 152 cm/5 ft).
In July, 1998, aiko made her nationwide debut with her song "Ashita". Since then, she has had a successful career with her songs being used in television commercials and TV dramas. This exposure has attracted her many listeners.
After the release of "Hanabi" (her third single) aiko became recognised natiowide. At this point, she started promotional appearances on TV every time one of her works is released commercially.
Her second album, "Sakura no Ki no Shita" sold over one million copies. aiko has become one of the major forces driving Japanese pop music. from wikipedia
