Mioko Yamaguchi
Mioko Yamaguchi (Japanese: 山口美央子) is a Japanese singer-songwriter and composer of popular music.
Yamaguchi's music career began on F-Label, where she released a trilogy of albums where she sang and played keyboards. She also composed most of her own songs. After the album Tsukihime (Japanese: 月姫; Moonlight Princess) in 1983, she changed her focus to providing music to others.[1] Yamaguchi has composed songs for artists such as Yuki Saito[2] and Yukari Tamura.[3] In addition, she has composed music for anime, including Ranma 1/2[4][5] and Pokonyan!.[6] She has composed over 400 songs overall.
After over 30 years, Yamaguchi began releasing new music herself, beginning with Tokisakashima (Japanese: トキサカシマ) in late 2018.[7][8][9] She also reissued her original albums on CD for the first time.
