Biography |
Tomiko Van is a Japanese J-Pop
singer and also former member of the now disbanded band Do
As Infinity, along with Ryo Owatari and Dai Nagao.
Tomiko gave her first steps as a solo artist while she was
on D·A·I with the songs "Again", which appeared in charity
album Song Nation, and later in 2003 with the song "drive me
nuts", which was recorded for trance DJs project Cyber X.
(Tomiko also appeared in six commercials for Japanese hair
products company, LAVENUS.
2007 started out with Tomiko's first cover album entitled
VOICE ~cover you with love~. Though entering the top 20, the
album was not considered a great success as it did not
manage to sell as well as her original album FAREWELL a year
before. The album was the singer's only release that year.
In 2008, Tomiko's 3rd and 2nd cover album, VOICE ~cover
lovers rock~, is due in March. This time, she tries covering
songs performed by male artists, such as SPITZ and Masaharu
Fukuyama. Despite her one year hiatus from the music scene,
the album charted at #10 on the 1st day of release, which
can be considered good, given her hiatus and being a cover
album. |
