After graduating from high school in Okinawa, she studied in the United States, during which period she married and had a child with an American. Tragically, he was murdered in an incident after her graduation. Following this, she returned to her home island and established Cipher City, a marketing and production company, in order to create content utilising the local resources.
Okinawa today is under political pressure, having been a target of both fascination and discrimination amongst Japan and surrounding Asian nations for years due to its exotic culture and hybrid transformations. Her lyrics, positions, and perceptions turn both the positive and negative aspects of her surroundings — cultural fusions, identity crises, pride and shame — into an honest craft.
In 2017, she released a full album, her first in a decade, in partnership with Chaki Zulu. She flows freely between Japanese, Okinawan and English, piecing together a unique sound while also staying true to the lyrics. Her deep vocals generates a captivating atmosphere for listeners. Awich’ s ability to submerge herself into multiple global perspectives while also adding her signature feminine touch allows her to create music that is singular but relatable across the world.

Why you price down?
Why you leveling your shit with these rundowns?
あの子たちにはまだわからない
欲しくても深いとこまで掘れない no
But baby I can
もっと気づかせる存在価値
何でもさらけ出して
What you want to do to me
何も怖くない
What you wanna do babe? (ah)
What you wanna tell me babe? (you wanna know)
You know I can love you (yeah)
You know I can love you babe (no man)
What you wanna do babe? (ah)
What you wanna tell me babe? (you wanna know)
You know I can love you (yeah)
You know I can love you babe
後ろ見ずきたここまで
Let's get started その言葉も面影
増えた money けどいまだ走る city
Mama told me relax I said I'm sorry (sorry Ma)
Look at my squad
Big chain 光らす neck
We just playing 勝ち続けるこの game
嘘みたいな speed 駆け上がる top
嘘つける girl といる夜もある
Everything crazy
脱ぎ捨てるまた heavy weight hoodie ya
Feel like 80's
綺麗事を片付ける baby ya
気づかぬふりしてれば free
I'm busy you know だから trust me
何て言う気は無いただ別に
What you wanna do?
本当の俺はきみに
Why?
You and me
Me and you?
夜中のハート既読スルー
大事なもの突き放した痛みで測る true value?
そんなに怖い of a broken heart?
溺れそうになれば掛ける歯止めを
それで失うモメンタム
I need you to hear 心の声を (come here)
They don't make them like you no more
They don't make them like you no more nowadays
なのにそんな簡単にあげちゃうのはなぜ?
出会い 別れ 泣かせ そんなのただの流れ

なかなか手に入らん少数生産
You are limited edition
You are king
You come through shut shit down
閉館!
In Awich's song "What You Want," the artist addresses an unknown person who has been lowering their standards and hiding their true desires. Awich encourages this person to reveal their true self and not be afraid of expressing what they want, especially with regard to their relationship with her. She expresses her willingness to love and support the person, and asks them what they want and how they feel. The lyrics suggest a theme of authenticity and vulnerability, as well as the fear of being hurt or rejected.
The verse "後ろ見ずきたここまで" (Kohromizukitakokomade) translates to "I've come so far without looking back," highlighting Awich's confidence and perseverance in her career. The line "They don't make them like you no more" references Awich's appreciation for individuals who are unique and authentic. The song also includes a verse in English, with Awich bragging about being a full-course meal with "mad flavors" that can satisfy anyone, and the line "You come through shut shit down" shows her admiration and respect for the person she is addressing.
