Bio
Her breakout in the world of videogames was with Square Enix's award-winning soundtrack to NieR (2010) which captivated fans with her signature "Chaos Language," taking modern-day languages and imagining how they'd sound centuries or millennia into the future. Emi has collaborated with renowned Japanese game composers Keiichi Okabe, Motoi Sakuraba, Norihiko Hibino, Nobuo Uematsu, Yuzo Koshiro, and others. She was also a featured vocalist on Octave Theory, an album by Nobuo Uematsu's rock band, The Earthbound Papas. She contributed to Square Enix's NieR:Automata in 2017 whose soundtrack won the Soundtrack of the Year award at The Game Awards that same year. The NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139 soundtrack allowed Emi to reprise her role, re-recording her original songs and the score won soundtrack of the year at The Game Awards in 2021. Her performance on "Song of Ancients" from the NieR series was played twice during the opening ceremonies of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo (held in 2021).
