Album Notes

The hot newcomer TOMOKO will surely add new inspiration to your ipod library that will totally satisfy in every sense. As a young girl growing up in Japan, TOMOKO was swept by American pop soul music scene since Stevie Wonder's masterpiece 'Key Of Life' changed her life forever. But everybody including her family members laughed at her when she told them she wanted to be a soul singer. One day she packed her stuff and moved to New York. The rest is history. "MY PURPOSE IN LIFE ON EARTH is to keep thriving every day to reach my highest ground. MY VISION is of a world where people realize their purpose and work together to love, learn and grow. MY MISSION is to bring healing and joy in celebrating life through the gift of music. I am just humbled and grateful to be used by God for a purpose greater than myself." Web surfers may have first much paid attention to her strikingly sexy exotic look in those pictures posted on the profile page. Since she moved to NY from her hometown Osaka Japan, she has recognized the advantage of being a beautiful Asian woman as she calls it 'the oriental women's beauty fever'. "I don't deny the visual aspect of the business because it is overall who I am. But I want people to recognize my talent too." TOMOKO says. "I've worked hard to get away from Asian entertainers syndrome. People always thought no serious Asian singers would make it to the main stream, and plus I wasn't even born and raised here. That's why I had to work as twice as hard to break the typical." After all, you are compelled to say, she is the real deal. TOMOKO ROCKS!!!
