Chihiro Onitsuka (鬼束 ちひろ Onitsuka Chihiro?) (born October 30, 1980) is a Japanese singer-songwriter.
In 2000, Onitsuka released her debut single "Shine" and gained a recognition with its follow-up "Gekkou" which became a hit. Insomnia, her first studio album released in following year topped the Japanese Oricon chart and sold more than a million copies.[1][2] "Memai", one of the singles from her debut album provided her with honor of winning the prize for lyrics of the 43rd Japan Record Awards in 2001.[3]
During her career, Onitsuka has repeatedly brought about troubles that are mostly owing to her physical problem and mental instability.[4][5][6][7][8] She had put recording career on hold until March 2007, after some confrontations with record labels and management offices during the mid 2000s.[9]
Onitsuka has enjoyed a successful career as one of the most popular Japanese female solo artists during the early 2000s. As of 2009, Onitsuka has released 5 studio albums, 17 singles, 2 compilations and several DVDs, which has sold at least 4.1 million. close
