About Kurumi Enomoto
Kurumi Enomoto (榎本 くるみ, Enomoto Kurumi; born 17 October 1981), formerly known as Kurumi (くるみ), is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She debuted in 2002 with the independently released single Moeru Taiyō (燃える太陽, Burning Sun). She is most well known for singing the ending theme song for the anime adaptation of the Namco role-playing video game Tales of the Abyss, "Bōken Suisei." == Biography == Enomoto was born in Nagoya. She first gained an interest in music in late primary school. She joined the school band in her final year, and started listening to top 40-charts based Western music. She was particularly impressed by Madonna, though also liked such music as hard-rock bands. She wrote her first song on the piano in this period. It was called Maboroshi (幻, Phantom) and it expressed much of the unhappiness she felt at the time. She later resumed writing songs regularly when she was 19. Two years later in August 2002, Enomoto released her first single, "Moeru Taiyō," under the independent label Nagare Records with the mononym Kurumi (くるみ).
