How about we listen to this lovely song.

It's called Yubinyasan, by mariko goto. I dunno what it means. Pretty good though.

I love mariko gotos music :-)

She was in punk/rock/whatever bands. The most well known one being Midori.

Their songs are a mix of loud overwhelming punk and techincal jazz.

A punk band with an upright bass player? how cool is that

Their live shows were incredible.

Then mariko goto went on and made her own music, like the song here

She explored many different genres

Electronic and folk and stuff

Awesomeeeeeeeee

She's done a bit of acting too

She sang in one of the openings for the anime aku no hana

I love the aku no hana ost

Oh yeah This sounds like she;s dead no shes alive and still making music I believe?
Shes still performing live anyway
