Eriko was one of the lead singer in the popular JPOP group SPEED.
She is very talented in singing. After the group disband in March 31,
2000, she went on to continue her singing career.
When Imai began her solo career in 2000, she merged with the dance group
Crunch and the group was newly dubbed Eriko with Crunch. Their first two
maxi singles, "Red Beat of My Life" and "Luv is Magic,"
were released the same year. Imai's style of music is rockish pop, which
suits her voice, but she also sang ballads and slow numbers as well, and
even attempted rapping in "Don't Stop the Music".
Eriko with Crunch did not last long. She went on without them pursuing
her solo career under her own name. She released her third single "In
the name of Love" also in 2000. To date, Eriko as a soloist has
released 6 singles, 1 album and a best album.
She has appeared in theater, film, radio and other parts of the entertainment
industry. In 2001, she was awarded the Golden Arrow Award for Best Newcomer
in Theater. This award was for her role in the musical Hi no tori. Imai
has also lent her voice to one of the anime characters in Boku No Songoku
in 2003, with her self-written single, "Butterfly" as the
main theme song of that movie. She also starred in the hit movies Onmyoji
in 2001 and Onmyoji 2 in 2003.
In April 2004 she married Shogo, lead vocalist of punk band 175R in
a shotgun wedding, their son, Raimu, was born on October 18, 2004 weighing
3492g. On November 25 2004, Eriko released her Single Collection ~Stairway~
to mark her new life journey as a mother and wife and as a gift for
all Eriko fans around the world.
