Tujiko Noriko is a Japanese singer, songwriter, and filmmaker based in Paris.
Since the early 2000s, she has released several experimental pop albums, singing in both Japanese and English over glitchy electronics, downtempo beats, and electroacoustic arrangements. Shojo Toshi (2001) and From Tokyo to Naiagara (2003) were highly acclaimed, attracting the attention of both IDM and indie pop audiences.
She has collaborated with numerous experimental electronic musicians, including Peter Rehberg (as DACM), Lawrence English, and Nobukazu Takemura. After working on experimental short films throughout her career, she released her first feature-length instrumental soundtrack, Kuro, in 2019. Her expansive ambient work Crépuscule I & II was released in 2023.
