YURiKA  

Yurika Kobayashi, 小林友里花

At the age of four, YURiKA began learning piano and developed a passion for singing. Her favorite groups were Morning Musume and Ayumi Hamasaki. It wasn't until she heard anisong that conveyed powerful messages in just one phrase at sixth grade that she decided to become an anisong singer herself. In 2013, YURiKA participated in the seventh annual Anisong Grand Prix while still in junior high school. She continued to compete in other singing contests as well.
