Known for an incredible lightness of touch yet considerable verve of performance, Haruka Tomatsu established herself in Japan as a versatile vocalist in the competitive world of Japanese J-pop.

Despite a noticeable flair for these uptempo hits, a handful Tomatsu's performances give us a glimpse into her personal life with slow, contemplative ballads that complicate our image of this anime-influenced pop star.
