Kaoru Akimoto is a Japanese lyricist, singer/songwriter from Tokyo, Japan. She debuted her first and only album ‘Cologne’ in March 21st of 1986. Kaoru would sooner or later drop a 2 song EP in 1991 (瞳に映して). Since then, Kaoru had helped other artists with music, she had also made more songs that have yet to reach as much recognition as others she made, and was even in a music group named ‘Shambhala’ (SHAMBARA). She then fled from the music scene and has lived a private and quiet life since.
