Biography

BONNIE PINK (born 16 April 1973 in Kyoto, Japan, real name Kaori Asada (浅田香織), first appeared on the scene in 1995. Although her debut album, Blue Jam failed to gain her much notice, two years after meeting Cardigans producer Tore Johansson, she released Heaven’s Kitchen, an album which gained her good sales and recognition. To date she has released nine original albums and several Best of, remix, and live albums.

She has sung ending themes for several Japanese anime: “It’s gonna rain!” for Rurouni Kenshin, “Last Kiss” for Gantz, “Cotton Candy” for Guyver: Bioboosted Armor. “Love is Bubble” is used as the theme song for the Japanese movie Memories of Matsuko (嫌われ松子の一生), which also casts her.

BONNIE PINK is another of the multi-talented females doing it for themselves; not only a song-writer, she often takes part in the composing process and has proved to have talent in it. Her style is somewhat softer than singers such as Shiina Ringo, but her skill is no less evident. She also has a talent for singing in both English and Japanese with reasonable skill.
