Cocco ( 真喜志 智子 ; Tomoko Makishi ) -- born January 19, 1977 in Naha, Okinawa) is a female Ryukyuan J-Pop singer who debuted in 1996 with a self-titled EP titled Cocko. A track from the EP, "Sing a Song ~No Music, No Life~", was used in an advertising campaign for Tower Records Japan. In March 1997, she released her major label debut single "Kauntodaun" (lit. "Count Down") and a full-length album followed shortly after. It wasn't until 1998 when she scored a big hit in Japan with "Tsuyoku Hakanaimonotachi" ("The Strong and Ephemeral"), selling more than 250,000 copies of that single.
