Next musician is “Leo Ieiri”. She is pop singer in Japan.
She is yonger than us,18 years old!
Her name“LEO”was named by her managing director because her eyes look like lions.
I have enjoyed her performance before.
I know that she was a “fighting singer”.
She was born in Fukuoka prefecture, and grew up in her childhood without her parents.
When she was seventeen, she decided to go to Tokyo alone to live as a singer.
Of course her parents tried to prevent her, but her mind never changed.
Presemtly, she was succeeded in coming out as a singer.
However , the feud between her and her parents was not ended easily.
One day, she wrote a song for her parents.
Here is the song: “Bless You”
She said in an interview that she could face and reconcile with her parents by writing the song.
I was surprised by her life story.
Considering her background, her songs sound tough, kind, and a little bit sadly.
Her lyrics are simple and sometimes dry, but I know these words are so heartwarming indeed.
Here is her latest and 1st album:“L E O”.

Very nice, succint, write-up on this new singer. A few weeks ago, I saw her on one of the TV music channels -- she was performing at a music festival, maybe during the summer.
返信削除Yeah, she also performed at SET STOCK last summer, and her song was chosen as a theme song of Japanese drama. She must have beesn glad then.
