Noriko Mitose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Noriko Mitose (みとせのりこ Mitose Noriko?, born December 3[1]) is a Japanese singer. She is the vocalist of the band kirche, and, as a solo singer, had performed many songs for games.
Noriko Mitose sung for church choir when she was young but did not get involved in the music scene until she and Toshihiko Inoue formed kirche in 1993.[1] She had since gone on to pursue her own singing career, and in 2005, her first solo album Yoruoto Hyouhon was released. Her following album releases, crochet and savon compile the songs she had done for games.
While many of her songs had been for adult games, she had also performed for major games: the 1999 game Chrono Cross, and most recently in 2006, Ar tonelico. She contributed to the soundtrack of Chrono Cross by singing on the last track, Radical Dreamers - The Unstolen Jewel. She was personally requested by director Masato Kato for this role.[2] She later made an album with that song's guitarist, Tomohiko Kira.[3]
Apart from kirche, Mitose also provided the vocal and lyrics for ORITA, a band she formed with composer Naruki. She had also contributed to various dojin music circles, such as APPLE Project.
