Ai Higuchi Born the first year of the Heisei era. Singer/songwriter.
She entered this world in Kagawa, was raised in Nagano and came to Tokyo for school. Her musical studies began at the age of 2 with classical piano and quickly expanded to include violin, drums, guitar and voice training. When she turned 18, she decided to concentrate on the keyboard.
Her melodious and high-speed piano riffs perfectly complement an alto voice that climbs relentlessly. Becoming one with the piano, she wrenches passion from it, yet at times illustrating an exquisite grace, fear and the light that appears from loss. Her unique insight allows her to compose lyrics that heighten drama in scenes from everyday life, much like a short story.
Central to her core is a self-affirming desire that can never be satisfied. The gorgeous quality of her music and infectious enthusiasm continuously add to her legion of fans.
