3Also known by her birth name, Olivia Lufkin (born December 9, 1979) is a Japanese-American bilingual singer-songwriter. Her musical style is recognizable for its distinct style of AlternativeRock. Sometimes, if not often, her [[WordSaladLyrics lyrics are quite symbolic]], but it's up to the listener to figure out what to make of it.

5Her early days involved being in a Japanese idol group called D&D, whose songs and music had a ''very'' different sound to what she'd be singing several years later. After they disbanded, she continued as a solo artist and began singing songs with a more pop-rock sound. As time went by, she started to create her own songs. She received mainstream success (and is best known) for creating songs for the fictional band ''Trapnest'' from the animated adaptation of ''Manga/{{NANA}}'', under the alias of ''Olivia Inspi' Reira (Trapnest)''.

22!!Provides examples of:
23* AlternativeRock: One of the best examples. She has a sister - CarolineLufkin - who makes more straightforward Alternative and indie music.
24* ButNotTooForeign: Daughter of an American father and a Japanese mother.
25* ClusterFBomb: Some songs in English, obviously in her much darker ones.
26* DarkerAndEdgier: In 2003 is when she really started to kick it when she collaborated with her brother, Jeffrey Lufkin.
27* HarshVocals
28* IdolSinger
29* IndecipherableLyrics: ''Sugarbloodsuckers''. First, the song is heavily doused with static, and then you hear her vocals that sound [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything quite suggestive]]. [[CarefulWithThatAxe The song starts to get louder]] and after her screaming, she starts to sing. It's not mumbling--there are lyrics to the song to prove it. It'll still be hard to make out and comprehend once you realize that it's merely filled with a ClusterFBomb.
30* Letters2Numbers: Songs like ''026unconscious333'' and ''57StoЯM03''.
31* MoralityBallad: ''Celestial Delinquent'' which is about the carelessness of people for the world. Hear her MotorMouth rant midway.
32* OminousMusicBoxTune: Her song "Cupid," which played it throughout the song, though it's just piano played in the higher keys, making them MusicBoxIntervals.
33* {{Surprisingly Gentle Song}}s: Just because she ''did'' go through changes doesn't mean she can't let her hair down sometimes and write a song that's peaceful enough to get high from.
34* WordSaladLyrics
35* {{Word Salad Title}}s: What with some songs and/or albums named, ''Internal Bleeding Strawberry'', ''Grapefruit Tea'', ''Comatose Bunny Butcher'', etc.
