Anri
A singer-songwriter born Eiko Kawashima, Anri became one of city pop's defining voices of the early 1980s through her collaboration with producer Toshiki Kadomatsu. Her 1983 album "Timely!!" delivered some of the genre's most enduring uptempo singles, with bright, funk-leaning arrangements and a clean, confident vocal. She embodied the bubble-era ideal of polished, danceable urban pop.
