About SNoW
SNoW grew up learning two languages, which means she was in a bilingual environment. She enjoys music from artists like Ani DiFranco, Iggy Pop, Talking Heads, and Tracy Chapman.
Her first song, "Yes", came out in November 2004 with a small, independent record company. In 2005, she joined a bigger music company called Sony Music Entertainment Japan. She then released her song Hanabi made Ato Sukoshi (which means "Until the Fireworks") in July of that year.
Her third song, Sakasama no Chō (meaning "Resting Butterfly"), was released on January 25, 2006. This song became very popular because it was the opening theme for a well-known anime show called Jigoku Shoujo, also known as "Hell Girl". Over 50,000 copies of the song were sold! The song also inspired a movie called Humoresque ~Sakasama no Chō~ in 2006. It was even featured in an episode of the next season of the anime, Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori.
SNoW also sang and helped write the opening theme for the second season of Jigoku Shōjo. This song was called NightmaRe and was released as a single on December 6, 2006.
In July 2007, SNoW decided to take a break from making music. She shared on her blog that she needed some time to rest.
Later, in 2008 and 2009, she worked with an artist named SoulJa. She used the name Yukie for these songs, which included "Soba ni Iru ne" (そばにいるね), "Colorz of Love", and "DaBounce".
In 2009, she joined Kazuya Yoshii's tour as a singer who sings backup vocals. Kazuya Yoshii is from the band The Yellow Monkeys.
In 2015, SNoW recorded two songs for YUKI JOLLY ROGER's first album as a producer, called “The Logbook I.”
On March 27, 2017, SNoW released three new songs, marking her return to music as a singer and songwriter. She even said on her new official website, "Sorry for the 10 year wait!"
