Kimura Yuki - sole sorfege 6 September 2000
Kimura Yuki is better known as an actress. However, before that she had a brief music career lasting three years: 1999–2001. She released a handful of singles and a total of three albums, one per year, and then retired from music to focus solely on her film and television acting.For me, personally, Kimura Yuki represents the end of an era. She was that final 90’s J-Pop star. When Kimura Yuki made her debut Morning Musume was having their first wave of major success, the immensely popular four-girl group Speed was about to disband, future star Koda Kumi was about to release her first single—the Japanese pop landscape was changing. In the midst of all that change Kimura Yuki came across the airwaves like an anchor to the mid-90’s sound of J-Pop that I had loved. She didn’t have the vocal range of her peers, and her music lacked a bit in variety. But Kimura Yuki’s music was just fun. Her albums were everything fun, poppy, and cheesy about 1990’s J-Pop all wrapped into one package.I would have uploaded Kimura Yuki’s discography, as I own all her albums, but for the life of me I cannot find my copy of her 2001 album Process “y”. I will put them together into one torrent if I can find where I put that damned CD…. In the mean time feel free to ask me for any requests if there’s something you’d like me to upload. If I happen to own it I’ll be happy to rip it.And as always, I hope you enjoy the music!
