Information
Beginning from at least junior high school, Ayuse Kozue had aimed to become a singer and joined her school's dance team, hoping to fulfill that dream. During high school, Kozue began studying desktop music (MIDIs, etc) through a music course and bought her first computer. After hearing one of her pieces, Towa Tei signed on as her creative director. In February 2006 Kozue released her first analog, the single boyfriend. It hit the top of CISCO's House chart for three weeks, and in April the single was released to iTunes. She was also featured as their Free Download for the first week in April. Around two weeks later, the single was released in CD format. She continued to release music in the following months with all lyrics, composition, and arrangement based on a producer she had met.
Kozue calls her genre of R&B "Rhythm & Beauty". She is still in university. Kozue was also a VJ for MTV Japan from July to September of 2006. She also has her own podcast on iTunes.
