Her songs, described by New York Music Daily as "rapturous, adventurous Japanese folk-influenced jazz," encompass jazz, pop, classical and improvised music, and also reflect her background in Japanese music.

She sings in English and Japanese as well as wordlessly, and plays piano and shamisen, a Japanese traditional string instrument.
She was born in Chiba, Japan, and has been involved with music from early childhood. Her mother, who taught music at elementary school, was her first piano teacher. Early musical activities included singing, playing flute, and learning the Japanese koto and shamisen, and as a teenager she began to play and compose original songs.
