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.

吐息を白いバラに変えて
逢えない日には 部屋じゅうに
飾りましょう 貴方を想いながら
Darling, I want you 逢いたくて
ときめく恋に 駆け出しそうなの
迷子のように 立ちすくむ
わたしをすぐに 届けたくて
I′m just a woman
Fall in love
If my wishes can be true
Will you change my sighs
To roses, whiter roses
Decorate them for you
Thinkin' ′bout you every night
And find out where I am
I am not
Livin' in your heart
Darling, I need you どうしても
口に出せない 願いがあるのよ
土曜の夜と 日曜の
貴方がいつも 欲しいから
ダイヤル回して 手を止めた
I'm just a woman
Fall in love
Darling, You love me 今すぐに
貴方の声が 聞きたくなるのよ
両手で頬を 押さえても
途方に暮れる 夜が嫌い
ダイヤル回して 手を止めた
I′m just a woman
Fall in love
Don′t you remember
When you were here
Without a thinking
We were caught in fire
I've got a love song
But where it goes
Three loving hearts are
Pullin′ apart of one
Can't stop you, Can′t hold you
Can't wait no more
I′m just a woman
Fall in love
I'm just a woman
Fall in love
