In the 1990s, she lived in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia for 3 years where she was a member of the Riyadh Chorus and performed as a soloist. She also volunteered at Riyadh International School as a music assistant and taught the piano to European and American children. Surging her time in Riyadh, she met many people from different back grounds and experienced many new things; her time there changed her way of thinking about the world.

Eiko’s charm lies in her attractive also voice and her model like appearance. Her fans love her for her beauty both inside and out. She sings at many venues in Japan, including Ginza Tokyo, Chiba, Saitama, and Ibaraki, and she even drops in to sing in Tottori sometimes. She performs not only at Jazz concerts but also at lectures about disabilities and cross-cultural understanding and at charity event.

In 2010, she released her first album “Life is Beautiful -TOBIRA-” by analog recording. Part of proceeds for this CD will be donated to mentally handicapped people.
The super drummer, Fukushi Tainaka from NY who is a member of a legendary Alto saxophone player, Lou Donaldson, joined her album.

Part of the album’s proceeds was donated to charities for the disabled, and to the disabled who suffered in the Great East Japan Earthquake.
In August 2013, she sang at the Australian Embassy and also sang in front of their Imperial Highnesses Prince and Princess Akishino at the opening ceremony of the International Developmental Disorder Conference.
