Kahimi Karie

Kahimi Karie is the stage name of Mari Hiki, a Japanese musician and photographer. She found success in the mid-90s with her brand of sunny, retro-chic pop, delivered in her signature whisper-like vocal. Her sound became markedly more left-field as time went on, her later albums incorporate sound collage, drone, and poetry. She has collaborated with Shibuya-kei artist Cornelius, turntablist Otomo Yoshihide, and harsh noise/punk outfit Struggle for Pride.
