The Official UA Thread
 

Not many people have heard of her, and it was difficult searching for an artist with UA in their name, so if there's already a thread for her I apologize. But she's highly underrated and a beautiful artist, and very unique. From wikippn:

"UA is a Japanese pop/alternative singer, signed under JVC Music, who debuted in 1995 with the single HORIZON. She is known for her hit singles Jounetsu and Amai Unmei in the mid '90s, and also drew fame by being the vocalist for the short-lived Asai Kenichi band AJICO. Her stage name comes from the Swahili word that means "flower" or "kill"."

A sample of "Jounetsu" was used in the single of the same name by Kato Miliyah, btw.
