安藤裕子 (Ando Yuko) is a Japanese singer on the Cutting Edge sub-label of Avex Trax. She debuted in 2003 with the mini-album, Sally but didn’t hit the big time until the release of her second full-length album, Merry Andrew. She had released a compilation album, THE BEST ‘03~’09, in 2009.04.15.

Ando always dreamed of becoming a star, but in a different way then she ended up. She dreamed of making movies by becoming a film director. It was only by chance that she came upon a musical career. It happened when she was applying for a role in a musical, when she happened to meet then-Oricon editor Soukou Koike. Soukou was so impressed by her singing abilities that he arranged for her to debut.

In 2003, Ando was featured at an insiders-only live performance, and praise was heaped upon her for the completeness of her works, as well as her singing capabilities and she was soon signed to avex trax sub-label, cutting edge. In July of the same year she released her debut mini-album, Sally which failed to chart on the Oricon. The title track from the album was used as the opening to the Taiwanese drama, Meteor Garden.

Sixth months later came the release of yet another min-album, and do, record. where the track Wasure Mono no Mori was used as a theme to the anime Gilgamesh. It became Ando’s first release to make an appearance on the Oricon making it the #54 position. Five months later came the release of her debut single, Mizuiro no Shirabe. The single only ranked in at #139 on the Oricon. Four months later came the release of Ando’s first full-length album, Middle Tempo Magic. The song used to promote the album was Rinjin ni Hikari ga Sasu Toki, it was also used as the ending theme for the movie, 2LDK.

    summer is such a beautiful and simple song. I feel like listening to it on the porch of a forest home on a foggy day. Damn skills this woman has.
