Nokko


Nokko (born in 1963 under the name Nobuko Yamada) is a Japanese singer. In 1984, she debuted at the lead singer of the band Rebecca. She married guitarist Takehiko Kogure of the Red Warriors in 1990. Rebecca broke up in 1991, and she launched her solo career as Nokko. While Rebecca focused mainly on bubblegum pop, Nokko drew from a wide range of musical styles: from the laid-back jazz of No Return and the African drum rhythms of Inochi to the Industrial Dance Music of Metallic Mother. She achieved wide exposure after her first single Crazy Clouds was used as the theme for a TV commerical for Japan Airlines. Her fifth single 人魚 was also helped by being used as the theme song for the TV show Toki wo kakeru shoujo. She divorced Kogure in 1993, and married sound engineer Goh Hotoda in 2002. She gave birth to her first child in 2006 (at the age of 42). Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
