Born Mari Nakazato on July 9, 1973, Mari totally defined the 90s Japanese music scene. She first blew us away as the dreamy frontwoman for psychedelic rockers Fishmans - her ethereal vocals were just everything for their shoegaze sound. Then when she went solo, Mari brought that same otherworldly vibe to J-pop, creating something completely her own. Seriously, the 90s were her time to shine, and her music still hits different today.
