Haruka Shimotsuki

Haruka Shimotsuki

nihongo|Haruka Shimotsuki|霜月はるか|Shimotsuki Haruka|born November 15 is a Japanese singer and dōjin music composer known for her vocal themes in the "Atelier Iris" and "" series. She also wrote the lyrics and sang the ending themes to the two seasons of "Rozen Maiden" as well as the OVA under the name Kukui, a unit with Myu. Shimotsuki's original music mainly consists of ethnic and fantasy music, and most of her songs are soft in tone. She likes video games, and is a big fan of the "Tales" series.

Career

Haruka Shimotsuki started her career in 2001 beginning with singing main themes for games, and writing and composing songs. She started releasing her dōjin music under the names Maple Leaf and tieLeaf; tieLeaf is a collaborative circle with Ao Sorano and Nao Hiyama. The group has a seventy-two-page dōjinshi, one CD entitled "Tsukioi no Toshi" (also called "Leozet Lag Ecliss" in an unknown language), a manga and novel text story book that was twenty-eight pages, and a single CD with the same name as the book, "Lip-Aura", a side-story of "Tsukioi no Toshi". Another project by tieLeaf, an adventure titled "Neji Maku Tsuki", serves as a tie-in to "Tsukioi no Toshi".

She gained attention after singing the ending theme "Tōmei Shelter" for "Rozen Maiden" under the name Refio+Shimotsuki Haruka. After singing "Tōmei Shelter", she and Myu (a member of Refio) formed the band Kukui. Shimotsuki has also formed a group with Rekka Katakiri and Chata many times, and they have been good friends for a long time. As an independent singer, she was once a supporting member of Sound Horizon, and made an appearance as a guest singer in their 2006 concert. Haruka Shimotsuki held a solo concert, Nihongo|Tokeidai no Aru Machi yori|時計台のある街より: Haruka Shimotsuki Solo Live Lv.1 on August 10 2006. Her second solo concert, Haruka Shimotsuki solo live Lv.2: Nihongo|Shimotsuki Haruka wa Level ga 1 Agatta|シモツキンはレベルが１あがった, was held on July 13 2008. [citeweb|url=http://shimotsukin.com/live/|title=Haruka Shimotsuki Solo Live Lv. 2|accessdate=2008-04-27|language=Japanese]

Besides singing, composing and writing the lyrics for the opening and ending themes for the PC visual novel "Relict: Toki no Wasuremono", she also composed about seven background music tracks for the game. Wind and string instruments are heavily used for the tracks, and she was able to exhibit her talent in ethnic music. This was her first time in composing songs for a game, and her feelings at that time were recorded in the booklet attached to the "Image Soundtrack" of the game. In the PlayStation 2 game "", she composed and performed the songs of one of the heroines, Aurica Nestmille, and took part in singing the ending theme "Exec_Phantasmagoria/.". She later took part in the sequel "Ar tonelico II Sekai ni Hibiku Shōjo-tachi no Metafalica" as the singing voice of one of the heroines, Luca Truelywaath, and took part in the ending song "Exec_with.Method_Metafalica/.".
