Her smash hit debut song, "Koi ni Ochite -Fall in love-" (恋におちて -Fall in love-) from 1985s popular show "Kinyōbi no Tsumatachi e" made her famous in Japan.

She debuted as a writer in 1984, writing the song "Moon Eyes" for folk duo Bread & Butter. Then, in 1985, she released her debut single "Koi ni Ochite -Fall in love-" (恋におちて -Fall in love-). The song became an instant hit, and earned Kobayashi a nomination for best newcomer at the 27th Japan Record Awards. Staff that worked on the recording began to compare Kobayashi's voice to that of Karen Carpenter, lead singer of The Carpenters, and suggested she approach Richard Carpenter. After hearing her demo tape, and enjoying the melody and vocals, Richard announced that her album "City of Angels" would be released in 1988.

In 1991, Kobayashi relocated to the United Kingdom and released an album under the name "holi". Soon after, she released a cover album of The Carpenters' songs. In 2001, she married a British accountant.

くちびるスウィング
小林明子 Lyrics

髪にカトレアシフォンのドレス
待ってるわ口笛と足音
春の囁き
浮き立つ都会(まち)にすべり出す
愛の園訪ねて
ああそれなりに苦い恋の味
泣いた夜もあるけれど......
くちびる SWING FOR YOU
胸の谷間でチャイムが鳴るの
くちびる SWING FOR YOU

YES SIR. 貴方の為に生まれたと
心叫ぶの
ステンド・グラス
おぼろな月は花模様
ペント・ハウスのクフブ
ほど良くじれて
汗ばむグラス
初めてのくちづけ誘うわ
OH NO 戸惑いは今も隠せない
だけど不意のときめき......LOVE
くちびる SWING FOR YOU
怖いくらいに夢が踊るの
くちびる SWING FOR YOU
LISTEN 鼓動に未来埋ずめて
わたし工ターナリー
くちびる SWING FOR YOU
YES SIR,
I FEEL THIS LOVE WILL BE FOREVER
MY HEART JUST CRIES FOR YOU
