Biography

[edit]

In 1986, she debuted as Miki Kawashima with the single Silk no Kuchibiru under CBS Sony label. Three years, she debuted as Daria Kawashima with the single Shiny Day under the Zain Records label. Since joining the Being agency, Kawashima has composed and wrote several songs for artists like Zard and Deen. In 1992, she composed Moonlight Densetsu under the alias of Tetsuya Komuro, presumably inspired by the legendary songwriter of the same name. The song would later be used as an opening theme for the popular anime series Sailor Moon. Kawashima also became known as the vocalist and leader of the heavy metal band Feel So Bad. In 2003, she participated in the cover album The Hit Parade, covering Gedō's Hyun Hyun. It was produced by Tak Matsumoto from B'z.[1] In 2016, she made her return as a solo artist with the digital release of her album Life Now.

Some of her music video clips are included in musicvideo DVD series 90s Being Rock Hits.[2]
