Information

Iruka got her interest in music when she saw her dad playing saxophone for the band Stardust in the late 50s. Iruka then debuted her singing career in 1970 with the single. She got the stage Iruka when she got the nickname when she was going to college at Joshibi University of Art and Design. But she really didn't have much of a solo career till 1974, when she released the single Ano Koro no Boku wa to begin the real entrance in the music world. Her hit single came the year after with the single Nogoriyuki.
