 * Keep - I am the editor of this page and believe that she is notable. First, according to WP:MUSICBIO, she would be notable if she has had a release on a national music chart. Refer to her page on Oricon at and you will find that her releases have charted at 21st and 23rd. Moreover, she would be considered notable by virtue of WP:ENTERTAINER, having had significant roles in multiple series such as in Idolmaster, Zoids, and Read or Die. -- Opheicus | Talk 02:04, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Even if a particular singer is obscure, if her singles have charted, and/or her music was used in several works, then she is automatically notable per WP:MUSICBIO. Of course, more sources are appreciated. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. The article still needs more reliable sourcing to comply with WP:BLP, but the subject appears to satisfy the basic notability criteria at WP:ENTERTAINER. --DAJF (talk) 12:24, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
