Information
Takekawa Ai is the granddaughter of Takekawa Yukihide, a song-writer. Until her late teens Ai had been honing her piano and guitar skills before emerging onto songwriting. She has made over 70 original songs until today. At the same time, she had aggressively executed numerous live shows in Tokyo. Rock is the base of her sound, onto which layered are the moving lyrics and epical melody that show off Ai’s strong and definite originality.
In November 2009, Ai’s much anticipated debut single "I WILL" was released from avex. It ranked #5 for two consecutive weeks in Billboard Japan Hot Top Airplay. From 2010, Ai has started putting on live shows and recording sessions for her much awaited first album. She is now in full scale to emerge as a real artist and she's making a semi-regular appearance at the national TV show J-MELO as the role of "Music Discoverer". From April 2010, Ai started the FM radio show GOLDEN 4 EGGS~ Takekawa Ai Why-Ai Tonight. She is actually studying at Waseda University.
