Kumisolo is the StageName of Japanese-French SingerSongwriter Kumi Okamoto.
Born in {{UsefulNotes/Tokyo}}, {{UsefulNotes/Japan}}, she grew fond of French culture (particularly the NewWave cinema) and left her country for {{UsefulNotes/France}}. Studying cinema there, she went back to music since she already had experience in her home country.
Kumi's first professional forray into music was first on a Japanese duo called Crazy Curl and later in a French trio called the Konki Duet. Following the end of that band, she renamed herself Kumisolo and released her own first material in 2008.
Kumisolo's music mixes French [[TheSixties 60s]]-influenced {{Pop}} with Exotica. The quirky feelings of her songs (as well as the music videos related to them) are based on the fact that she doesn't want to be taken seriously in her music.
