ef

Artist

éf is a Japanese anime tie-in artist whose delicate female vocals leave a strong impression. With a clear voice and gentle, enveloping expression, her style stays close to songs that mirror the subtleties of adolescence. In anime, she performed 'Koikaze', the opening theme of the TV anime 'Koikaze', based on the manga of the same name by Motoi Yoshida, which sensitively portrays the emotions between an older brother and his younger sister. She colored this lyrical number, written by Ritsuko Okazaki and composed and arranged by Yukari Hashimoto, with a pale, fragile voice, and the song is remembered as one that symbolizes the taut atmosphere of the show. Hers is a name built on a quiet, literary sensibility.
