Yoeko Kurahashi

**Yoeko Kurahashi** is a delightfully eccentric Japanese singer-songwriter who’s carved out a niche in Japan’s indie scene with her quirky lyrics and whimsical soundscapes. Originally known as the frontwoman of the band *Kegawa no Maries* (毛皮のマリーズ), she went solo in the 2010s, embracing a style that blends jazz-infused pop, off-kilter piano melodies, and cheeky wordplay. Tracks like *“ジュエリー/処方箋”* and *“解体ピアノ”* showcase her knack for turning everyday observations into surreal, slice-of-life anthems, while her conversational vocal delivery feels like catching up with a mischievously insightful friend. Though she keeps a low profile outside of her music, releases like *“友達のうた”* and *“御中元”* have cemented her reputation as a cult favorite—perfect for listeners craving something playful, poetic, and just a little bit weird.
