Kyoko Endo

Artist

Kyoko Endo is a Japanese singer-songwriter, actress, and radio personality. For the TV anime 'Dai-Guard,' she performed the ending theme 'Hashire Hashire,' writing the lyrics and music herself with arrangement by Yoko Kanno providing a warm sonic backdrop. Her gentle melody and lyrics, which quietly push at the backs of people standing in everyday life, left a calm afterglow at the end of this show centered on salarymen, drawing out further the humanity of this real-robot work. She has also worked under her real name Kyoko Endo, building a distinctive world as a solo singer-songwriter.
