Erika Ikuta

Artist

A singer, actress, and pianist who got her start in an idol group. With a clear voice and solid musical training, she is also highly regarded in musicals and stage productions. For 'Ima mo, Arigatou', the ending theme of the TV anime 'Ascendance of a Bookworm: Lord's Daughter', she sets straightforward words of gratitude toward mother, family, and loved ones to a ballad that quietly stands beside the protagonist Myne, who chooses to be adopted as the lord's daughter to protect her downtown family and friends. Her delicate, emotionally attuned vocals carefully draw out the work's feelings.
