Rie fu - Life is Like a Boat

Rie fu (Rie Funakoshi) was born in Tokyo in 1985 and lived in Maryland from 1992 to 1995. Fluent in both English and Japanese, her songs often shift between one language and the other, as it does in this song, Life is Like a Boat. The song was featured as the first ending theme of the very popular anime Bleach.

Rie's songs have been chosen as closing themes for several animes. I Wanna Go To A Place... was used as the closing theme for Gundam SEED Destiny, Tsukiakari (Moonlight) for Darker than Black, and Anata ga Koko ni Iru Riyuu (The Reason You're Here) for D.Gray-man.



Rie travels between Tokyo and London, where she graduated from the University of the Arts London in 2007. She has studied fine art painting, fashion and graphic design. She designs most of her own album and single booklets, and her paintings often appear in them.
