KANA (香奈) is a popular Japanese singer of the JRock/JPop genre. She began her career as a model for The Gothic Lolita Bible magazine, and still appears in the magazine regularly. In 1996, she ventured into music by singing for an electronica band called STARblueS. However, Kana was quickly replaced, due to disagreements between the band members. She went back to music in 2000 by releasing the Maxi single, "Hebi-Ichigo (蛇苺)". Although her vocal work is often criticized for its harsh, screechy tone, her songs were well-received and more singles such as "Chimame (血まめ)" and "Kuuchuu Buranko (空中舞乱孤)" followed. Kana eventually released her first full-fledged album, "Doubutsu-teki Ningen (動物的人間)" in 2001, followed by "Kikei-teki Ningen (機械的人間)" in 2002, and "Ningen-teki Ningen (人間的人間)" in 2003. Her latest album, "Spade," was released in early 2005.
