Sowelu, born Aki Harada (原田亜希, harada aki? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Japanese)), is a J-pop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-pop) singer. She was born on November 6 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_6), 1982 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982) in Tokyo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo) to a Japanese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_people) father and a half-Irish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_people) half-Japanese mother. Her career started in 2002 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002) with the release of her first single Beautiful Dreamer, a soft love ballad which did very well in the charts, and was later featured on the Relaxin’ with Japanese Lovers compilation album. Her first single was modestly successful, and it wasn't until the release of her album Geofu in the summer of 2003 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003) that she gained recognition. Geofu did exceptionally well in the charts, scoring a number 4 position with more than 300,000 copies sold. Her first single after Geofu, "Rainbow" was used as the theme song for the Japanese drama Netsuretsuteki Chukahanten, and the other A-side song on that single, "breath ~Omoi no Youryou~" was used for the national promotion campaign of JFN Radio. She performs under Sony Music Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Music_Japan)'s DEFStar (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=DEFStar&action=edit) records label.

I recomend you all to listen to her latest album 24 -twenty four-, because it is amazing.
-
I have all three of her albums and I have to say my favorite album from her is her first album, "Geofu".
In my opinion, her songs from her 24 -twenty-four- was a little out of my taste.
But, I still like her songs!
-
Different tastes, but yeah, all her music is enjoyable. Let's recommend the three albums :D
-
I first heard of her when she did "SO EXCLUSIVE" with m-flo. I really liked it so I tried to find some of her stuff, but only was able to get her "to YOU" single. It was okay, but I liked the c/w more than the main song. I'll probably give her another chance, seeing as how I haven't actually heard much of her. Thanks, Keron.
-
I didn't cared about GEOFU. But I loved Sweet Bridge. 24 -twenty four- was too boring for me because it was mostly ballads.
So....yeah. She is like....hot though. Some of her PVs shows her strutting her stuff and all and I was like "AAHHHWOOOOOO!!". *takes off shirt and swings it in the air*
-
I really liked he collab album heads or tails. Especially liked her w/ Verbal
-
I liked So Exclusive hehe... she's one hot chick
-
The first song I heard from her was "Moon On the Water", which the lead female character sang in the anime show - Beck. This was the B-side song of her 9th single, "Do you remember that?".
-
I have 24 karats - type S - here

I kinda saw this coming since back then because she seems to like the sexy image and all that. But this is a little more extreme than what I expected. :nervous Not that I'm complaining! I wouldn't be surprised if she makes her AV debut soon.
