Her parents enjoyed music, so from a young age she was always surrounded by a wide array of styles of music (especially Western music). In December 2002, by chance she was featured on a Hokkaido-based TV karaoke competition and sung a cover of Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You, and was recognised by the show's judges for her talent.

In May 2006, after finishing high-school, she debuted as an indies artist on the Hokkaido-based Yumechika Records label with the cover single, The Roots (the leading song from the single was a cover of Stevie Wonder's Sir Duke). The single charted in at #3 on the Sapporo HMV store's internal charts. When holding in-store lives, she would regularly sell over 100 copies per live. Following this up in October, she released a mini-album, Step☆Out EP, featuring original songs as well as covers. Totalled together, these two releases sold over 6,000 copies.

Fukuhara in 2007 was signed to Sony records, and prior to her debut released a cover of Céline Dion's Because You Loved Me on the compilation album TRIBUTE TO CELINE DION. Her debut single, CHANGE, is planned to be released in April 2008.

Fukuhara has been praised by such artists as Corrine Bailey Rae and GEO from Sweetbox.

Already a thread on her~

Edit; Wait. You even made the previous thread. With the exact same text. Wth?

^ This has happened to me before. The server like randomly duplicated a thread I made lol. I don't know if that's the case here though.

LOL...i don't really know how can i explain it exactly... But the first thread i made is on the "Artist and Band" section right? so i thought i put it on the wrong place and i have no idea how to move it that's why i made a new thread here again... sorry if i did a mistake +_+

EDIT: it says.... Artist and Band: to highlight popular artists or band...LOL

Oh, I like her voice. Thanks for introducing her. Hopefully she becomes something I'd like to follow.

thanks for sharing^^

nice, thank u for introducin' her

she sounds so Aguillera right? XD

^ yea, but i hate aguilera lol, thats why i didnt mentioned. this girl is better.

she sounds almost exactly like Christina Aguilera (0_0) But this girl doesn't overdo her voice as much...

^^I have to agree with everyone else. She sounds exactly like Christina Aguilera. And I must say that that is not what I expected her to sound like. I was expecting a ballad. O_o I can't say I'm a huge fan, but I don't find her bad. Thanks for introducing her! I always like trying out new artists. :)

You know, I didn't notice it until everyone here started saying it, but there are some definite similarities to Christina Aguilera. I think saying that she sounds exactly like Christina is without a doubt exaggerating but she does have a very good voice.

she sounds quite nice, but single cover is creepy as hell

LOL...agree :D i'm still searching her indie album...wanna hear more from Her...LOL

Anybody has the EP and the single?
