Description

Mayuko’s name means child in a cocoon. She started as a painter, but a calling led her to music. Her clear voice is characterized by delicate high notes, like a spirit singing.

In 2001, Mayuko recorded her debut mini-album Toy Cross.
She gained valuable experience working in collaboration with unique musicians and producers such as Johnnie Fingers (Boomtown Rats), Daniel Wang (Balihu Records) and DJ Kensei.
The album jacket art for Toy Cross was designed by Shynola, an artists collaborative based in London that has done creative work for music industry luminaries like Radiohead, Beck and Coldplay.
Futhermore, a remixed version of Toy Cross was released in the United States.
From the momentum garnered by the album release, Mayuko held several concerts in Tokyo and attracted attention from the media.

In 2004, Mayuko started writing new music, and through social media, her audience around the world found her again.
She had media interest in both the United States and France.
Much was made of the mystery surrounding her name and the image of the “child in a cocoon”.
As her audience in Japan increased, Mayuko appeared in live performances around Tokyo.

In 2007, the mini-album Amaranth was released.
Mayuko continued to collaborate with artists in the West, and to introduce more and more people to her music, leading to single releases in the following years.
In 2008, the single Hikari to Iro (KFM Records in Scotland) was released. A subsequent remixed version was also released.
In 2009, the single Someiyoshino (Pony Canyon in Japan) was released. Someiyoshino was featured as the ending music for Nippon Television’s nationally-broadcasted show Hama-chan! and Nippon Cultural Broadcasting Radio’s Lions Nighter show.

In 2014, Mayuko has released her first full album Vista Bouquet, independently. It is available from iTunes (worldwide).
