Starting to play piano at the age of 3 and pursuing piano lessons from the age of 4, NIKIIE's childhood was surrounded by music, giving her a dream to become a musician. She started writing music at 16 years old, and finally decided to seriously pursue singing at 17. She then moved to from Ibaraki to Tokyo and, coming to local prominence through several small live events, got the attention of Columbia Music Entertainment. In 2010, NIKIIE received her big break when she was chosen to perform the opening theme to the drama Mori no Asagao, "Gensou Forum" (幻想フォルム; translated as "Illusion Forum").
In 2012 her song "Duty Friend" from her mini album "CHROMATOGRAPHY" was used for the new season of the anime "Lupin III - A Woman called Fujiko Mine".

NIKIIE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
掴めてない答えなんだと思うんだよ
それがもしもたやすく
手に入るものなら
価値もないでしょ?
イヤ…
不確かな軌道で確かなものなんて
まだきっと見えない
Feel like fallin' you
the name of the sky
この手を伸ばす
これってきっと一人じゃ絶対
掴めない迷路のような道
揺らぐ想い、たやすく折れて
しまえる程弱くもないでしょ?
イヤ…
私はまだ限りない夢を見る
貴方と見る
I'm a star for you 貴方を照らす
Feel like fallin' you
the name of the sky
この手を繋ぐ
それはまだ見えない光
夜が来て初めて貴方にも分かるの、
私が
それはまだ見えない光
夜が来て初めて貴方にも分かるの
確かなものならばそう、
ずっと消えない
I'm a star for you 貴方を照らす
Feel like fallin' you
the name of the sky
瞬きをする速さで光を落としてゆく
The song STAR by NIKIIE is a contemplative piece that reflects on the concept of finding meaning and value in life. The lyrics suggest that the answers to life's most profound questions may not be easily attainable and that they remain elusive, much like a maze. The opening lines suggest that the answers to such questions elude everyone, indicating that these are challenging philosophical questions.
The singer goes on to question the value of what is easily attainable and notes that in any case, it is probably worthless. The use of the stars in this song is a metaphor for searching for purpose and meaning. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm a star for you," emphasizing the need to strive towards something and the desire to be seen as someone who is relevant and important in the world.
The song also explores the idea of vulnerability and resilience, as the singer chooses not to allow her feelings to be easily broken, despite the challenges she faces. Overall, the song STAR is a reflection on the complexities of human existence and the search for ultimate purpose.

I love her song and voice in Lupin III's ED, "Duty Friend," which lead me here. I don't understand Japanese, but I love this arrangement as well. And who knew she'd be so pretty? What a beautiful person.
