Sonim

Sonim is a J-pop artist and a drama actress. She was a member of the now-defunct Tsunku-produced duo EE JUMP along with Yuki Goto (Maki Goto’s younger brother). Yuki was caught underage in a bar, which got him suspended from EE Jump. When the band released its next single, the band name was changed to EE JUMP featuring Sonim, and it proved to be more popular than other EE Jump singles, the band released one more single, and then disbanded. Sonim released 4 solo singles and an album under the Toys Factory label, but was dropped by them at the end of 2003. Since the beginning of 2004 she has released 4 singles on the independent label Harmony Records that was formed as an offshoot of the production company Harmony Productions that manages her. Sonim can play the guitar and speak Japanese, English, and Korean.
