Life and career[]

Kimishima grew up in the Isogo Ward of Yokohama, Japan and became interested in writing songs in college.[2] Her debut album, Haru to Shura, was released in 2018 and gained international attention.[4] On January 10, 2020, she released the single "Fanfare". The music video for the single was shot under extreme temperatures over the frozen Amur River in Russia.[5] In March 2020, her mini-album LOVETHEISM was released.[6] The music video for the single "Riot" from LOVETHEISM was filmed at the Russian Circus in Moscow.[7] Her song "Seventh Heaven" is planned to be featured as the theme of the upcoming Japanese movie, Colorless (Japanese: Sarugakucho de aimasho).[8]

In March 2020, Nemuri was scheduled to perform at South by Southwest, but the festival was cancelled due to COVID-19. In place of the cancelled show, she held a livestream performance on YouTube called "Unused VISA" on March 23.[9][10]
