Early life


Ichiko Aoba began to learn how to play classical guitar at the age of 17, and her music has been inspired by Disney music and Studio Ghibli, both of which she listened to growing up.[1] Her mentor was Japanese singer-songwriter Anmi Yamada, who remotely taught Aoba the craft of the instrument.[2] Aoba's albums 0 and qp each feature two covers of Anmi's songs.


Career


Aoba released her first album, Razor Girl (Japanese: 剃刀乙女), at the age of 19 in 2010.[3] Since then, she has released 6 albums, as well as a few live albums.

Around 2012, Aoba was introduced to Gezan frontman Mahi to the People by their mutual friend Koji Shimotsu (frontman of Odotte Bakari no Kuni). Aoba and Mahito formed the collaborative duo Nuuamm, which has since released two studio albums: Nuuamm (2014) and w/ave (2017).

In 2013, Aoba was asked to work for a theatre production of "9 Days Queen", a stage play by playwright Go Aoki. She has also worked with Takahiro Fujita's Mum & Gypsy company in a production of "Cocoon", as well as a revival of "Lemming" by Shūji Terayama.[2]

Aoba was also featured in the soundtrack of the 2019 Nintendo Switch remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and her arrangement was used to promote the game in Japan.[4]
