Real Name: Asada Kaori (浅田香織)
Stage Name: Bonnie Pink
Date of birth: 04/16/1973
Blood Type: A
Trivia:
- She writes and composes all her songs, and plays guitar and piano.
- Asada has said that the name Bonnie Pink is random and has no special meaning; she chose it because it was easy to remember and because she thought the words were cute together.
- Her smash single, "It's Gonna Rain", was the featured ending theme for the popular shounen anime, Rurouni Kenshin.
- On her fourth album, Let Go, she worked with Mitchell Froom, New York producer of Elvis Costello, Cibo Matto, and Suzanne Vega. He gave her co-production credit for the album because he was so impressed with her. Her fifth album, Just a Girl, came out in 2001. The next year she collaborated with other artists and released Re-Pink, a remix album. Present came out in 2003 and Even So in 2004. Golden Tears, which features the single "So Wonderful", came out in 2005.
