HomepageYaida first became well known in 2000, when her first EP "Howling" was released on Aozora records, an independent label pre-dominantly distributing to only the Osaka area of Kansai, and reportedly sold in excess of 10,000 copies. Widespread airplay on Osaka's local radio stations and word-of-mouth resulted in both Yaida and Aozora records becoming the focus of a bidding war between the larger record companies for both recording and distribution contracts, the final Japanese distributing rights being sold to Toshiba-EMI with Aozora retaining artist control and independent label status.
