Cocco (born
January 19 1977 in
Naha,
Okinawa as Satoko Makishi) is a female
Japanese pop singer who debuted in
1996 with a self-titled
EP titled Cocko. A track from the EP, "Sing a Song ~No Music, No Life~", was used in an advertising campaign for Tower Records Japan. In March
1997, she released her major label debut single "Kauntodaun" (lit. "Count Down") and a full-length album followed shortly after. It wasn't until 1998 when she scored a big hit in Japan with "Tsuyoku Hakanaimonotachi" ("The Strong and Ephemeral"), selling more than 250,000 copies of that single.
