Former keyboardist/vocalist of Japanese new wave band POLYSICS; released solo work Mitsuami Heroine; music spans new wave, electropop, and pop ballads.

One review explores Kayo’s first solo release, Mitsuami Heroine, highlighting a shift from POLYSICS’ robotic edge to more human, pop-inflected textures. It notes clear nods to new wave, vocoder use, and a Björk-like vocal timbre. The closing track’s Siberian travel sound design stands out. Verdict: a strong, if brief, set.
