ARTISTAnri

Anri is a Japanese singer, songwriter, composer and producer. She made her debut in 1978 with “Olivia wo Kikinagara” and became a defining voice in Japanese pop through songs including “CAT’S EYE,” “Kanashimi ga Tomaranai (I CAN’T STOP THE LONELINESS)” and “SUMMER CANDLES.”

From the 1980s onward, she developed a sound spanning pop, city pop, AOR, funk, R&B and dance music. Her albums include TIMELY!!, and her wider catalog brings together work created with musicians and producers in Japan and the United States. Her music continues to reach new generations through streaming, YouTube and social media. “Remember Summer Days,” “Last Summer Whisper” and “I CAN’T STOP THE LONELINESS” are among the songs that have found listeners beyond Japan.

In 2026, Anri returned to the United States for ANRI LIVE 2026 U.S.A TIMELY!!, performing in New York and Los Angeles. After the initially announced shows sold out, an additional Los Angeles performance was added. Anri remains active as a performer, songwriter and producer.
