special guest singer

It was said by her mother that she has been singing ever since she was born, even when she was not aware that she was singing. That is how Kei Takebuchi’s story began.

She spent a few years in the United States. Her influences included artists like Utada Hikaru, Shiina Ringo, Celine Dion, and Christina Aguilera. Since 2007, Kei has been participating in performances and competitions.

These opportunities opened the door for her to join SD, and in 2010, became involved as a founding member of PlayYou.House, the predecessor of Goose house. During those times, she did a self-produced solo edition mini-album titled “Maika ~ my flower ~” in 2013 and a solo release in 2014 with another mini-album titled “KEI’s 8” under Sony Music Records.

In November 2018, Kei made the decision to move forward and focus on her career as a solo artist.
