Rika Himeki

Artist

An idol-style singer active in the late 1980s. For the classic 'Maison Ikkoku: The Final Chapter,' based on Rumiko Takahashi's manga, she sang 'Glass no Kiss' and 'Namida no Hari to Kaze no Ito,' adding fresh color to the story's conclusion. For the judo-themed 'YAWARA!' she handled 'Stand By Me.' Her sweet, crystalline voice suited these coming-of-age works well.
