As of late I've gotten interested in Chieko Kawabe who is relatively a newcomer to the Japanese Pop world. Her vocals are really soothing, she can dance relatively well and her pvs are quite amusing too so I suggest you keep your eyes on this artist.
After eight months of hiatus, Kawabe is going to release her 5th single "Sakura Kiss" which shall be out in stores in April 26th, 2006.
Bio & Summary taken from Wikipedia
She is best known for 'Be Your Girl', ending song of Elfen Lied, and 'Hoshi ni Negai Wo', ending song of Otogizoushi. Singing isn't her only talent, however, as she is starting to show a growing interest in acting. Arguably, her most notable roles have been of Sailor Moon relation. She made her debut in Winter 2001 as Sailor Mercury in the Sera Myu and continued in the role until she graduated in mid-2002. She appeared again in the Sailor Moon world as Tsukino Usagi's best friend, Osaka Naru in the 2003-2004 live action series, Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
