Olivia is the oldest of three children. Her sister Caroline is in the music
industry and currently attends music college in the United States. The youngest
of the three, Jeffrey, is the leader of his own band, which, according to
Olivia, 'seriously kicks ass!' Her first big break was to come when she
attended the Okinawa Actors
School. The school, which was established in 1983 and is a regular scouting
ground for production companies, has produced many popular performers, including
Namie Amuro,
Rina Chinen,
Speed, and
Max. In 1996,
while performing on stage at the Okinawa Actors School, Olivia was spotted by
the boss of Rising Productions,
and they asked Olivia to become a member of their latest pop sensation, Dance &
Dream. The group (composed of three girls: Olivia, Aya and Chika) released their
first single 'In Your Eyes' on August 21st 1996. They were a huge success!
Olivia's debut album 'Synchronicity' was released on December 6th 2000. The
album features all 6 singles and a total of 14 tracks. Although many of the
songs have a rock edge, the album proves that Olivia is more than just a rock
singer; she says she does not like the idea of being fit into a particular
category, such as pop, rock, etc., and says her music is what she feels at the
time.
When asked about what direction her music is taking, Olivia responded, 'I
don't decide on any directions beforehand, my music comes from my moods. If I'm
really excited, I'll probably make a fast song etc.'. So, what can we expect
from Olivia in the future? Olivia says, 'I have many many goals. It's all a
surprise!!!'
