In 2000, she drew on influence from her older sister listening to R&B artists such as K-Ci & JoJo, Mariah Carey, and Janet Jackson. From there she became very interested in producing music and enrolled in music classes with an enthusiastic interest. By 2004 she auditioned for the television show "MTV STAR TOUR" featuring Japanese artists ZEEBRA, KEN-BO, and 今井了介 (Ryosuke Imai). In 2005, Emi Maria began her professional career with an agency, making her debut as a minor in 2006 with live events and club performance, eventually being featured on a track included on SEEDA's album.
For the first half of 2007, Emi Maria was dedicated to working on her debut album and making featured appearances on various tracks for mix CDs and albums by TOMOGEN and MC MOGGY. On October 24, 2007, Emi Maria released her first original mini album "Between the Music", afterward promoting it with a live schedule. Emi Maria closed out 2008 with the release of her first single "I gotta -Summer Kiss", and on November 5th, 2008, debuted her first full original album "A Ballad Of My Own".

全て夢だとしたら
目覚めたら君は居なくて
他人同士に戻ってたら
退屈だと嘆いた日々が
どうしようもなく素晴らしくて
なんでもないような瞬間が
どうしようもなく愛しくて
忘れたくない いつまでも
君と居たい 今夜はずっと
君と居たい 今夜はずっと
I don't wanna I don't wanna sleep no more
覚める夢はもう要らないよ
I need some I need some
××××× more
I don't wanna I don't wanna sleep no more
覚める夢はもう要らないよ
I need some I need some
××××× more
I'll take you to the NEW WORLD
My man is fresh
He's my MVP
赤いリンゴ食べた2人
君と一緒なら 罰も受けよう
ついでになんなら 子供作ろう
Bang bang 君に撃たれたGIRL
Bang bang ハート撃たれたGIRL
なぜか今夜は君とまた恋に
落ちる気がするよ
I don't wanna I don't wanna sleep no more
覚める夢はもう要らないよ

The lyrics to EMI MARIA's song "Sleep No More" reflect the desire to stay in a dream-like state with a loved one, rather than face the reality of losing them. The opening verse is filled with melancholic regret, as the singer considers the possibility that everything she is experiencing is just a dream. She reflects on the mundane moments of life that she now realizes she has grown to treasure because they were shared with the one she loves. Despite the pain of this realization, she declares that she does not want to forget these moments and will hold onto her memories for as long as possible.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that she does not want to "sleep no more" and wants to hold onto her dream-like state. She does not want to wake up and face the reality of losing her loved one, and instead wants to bask in the warmth of her emotions. The second verse is more upbeat and playful as she revels in the joy of being with her loved one. She declares that she and her partner are like two people who have eaten a red apple and as a result are willing to face any punishment together. She also playfully suggests that they could even have a child together. The bridge of the song is an invitation to the listener to join her in this dream-like state and experience the good feelings with her.
Overall, "Sleep No More" is a song about the tension between wanting to hold onto the warmth of love and the inevitability of loss. The lyrics suggest that it is better to cherish the moments shared with loved ones than to forget them, even if it means facing pain someday.

I wish more j-rnb artists like Alice, Aisha, jasmine, thelma, crystal kay and BENI would go down this route of sound you showed in 91 and here these sounds are what is hot now, but forge the path Emi mad anticipating this album
Charisma2
Exactly
Sheldon Pon
nana9261 popular outside of Japan maybe, but it wouldn't make sense for them to start making music like this unless they really want people to stop paying attention to them.

Sheldon Pon but those artists I called, aren't popular right now Alice isn't with Sony anymore Jasmine hanging on by a thread Aisha hasn't released material since 2012 and Thelma last album was good but didn't make any impact. So what's the harm in taking risks when really ur old crowd has moved on try appealing to new ppl.
nana9261
+Sharnya aisha's and thelma's album's were great I follow them. Crystal's album wasn't that great though
