Japanese pop vocalist and founding member of Morning Musume, one of Asia's most influential idol groups under the Hello! Project label. Ishiguro's work with Morning Musume helped define the sound of late-90s Japanese pop, contributing vocals to the group's breakthrough releases that blended upbeat pop sensibilities with electronic production elements characteristic of the era.
Beyond her primary group, Ishiguro performed with Tanpopo, a Morning Musume sub-unit that explored different musical directions within the Hello! Project ecosystem. Following her graduation in 2000, she maintained her connection to the project through occasional reunions, including the 2018 Morning Musume 20th anniversary lineup, reconnecting with the electronic pop sound that defined her early career.
