She debuted in 1994 with her first single "Let's Play Winter," [1] achieved peak commercial success in Japan during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Her early work featured upbeat dance-pop, largely produced by Tetsuya Komuro, while later releases incorporated a more personal songwriting after she gained greater creative control. [2] Several albums topped the Oricon music charts, including her second studio album By Myself (1996), the greatest-hits collection H (1999), Huma-rhythm (2002), and the best-of Self Portrait (2002). Notable singles include her breakthrough hit "Candy Girl" (1995), which sold nearly 400,000 copies, and "Love 2000" (2000). [1] Multiple releases earned certifications by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), including multi-platinum albums and gold singles. [3]

Following a shift to her independent imprint Love Life Records in the mid-2000s, her output became less commercially dominant, with releases often digital-only or low-charting after the early 2010s. Activity slowed amid personal life events. She marked her 30th anniversary in the music industry in 2025 with an acoustic concert, the digital live album Re:Connect, [4] and the single "Stand by..." in early 2026, which became her first new material in several years.
