Also RURUTIA

Ok this is RURUTIA. She makes Very Atmospheric music. If you've never heard of her, don't worry. Nobody knows about her anyway, unless they come across her materials by accident. Why? Because RURUTIA also has (predictably) dismal chart positions in Japan.

So why her? Because she makes Atmospheric music. Plus she isn't hideous or funny-looking like Bjork. RURUTIA is Very Good at what she does. Her songs overflow with time, space, colours and various other characteristics. Am I talking nonsense? Maybe. But listen to the title track from her latest release Opus and you will understand.

Unfortunately, when she left Toshiba-EMI for some obscure label, she stopped charting. Lack of promotion? Maybe. But also consider the fact that RURUTIA never does interviews or fashion shoots or anything. What she does instead is maybe come out with a sparse amount of music videos. So who's to blame for her failure?

Also one of her more successful albums sold roughly 1,500 copies.
