POiSON GiRL FRiEND is a solo musical project by nOrikO. A singer, songwriter, composer, producer, and DJ based mainly in Japan, she formed The Poison Girl Friends in 1990 with her friends. By the end of 1991, it became her solo unit as POiSON GiRL FRiEND. The name has since been commonly used as an alias for nOrikO.

Born in Yokohama to a chanson singer mother, nOrikO spent her childhood in Rio de Janeiro, where she attended a French-language elementary school. This multicultural upbringing exposed her to Brazilian rhythms and French chanson, further enriching her diverse musical foundation.

Raised in Tokyo during her teenage years, she developed an affinity for British New Wave music. Time spent in London and Paris in the late ’80s introduced a love for the European club scene, which later influenced the project’s signature sound.

Influencing contemporary artists of the younger generation, POiSON GiRL FRiEND continues to push musical boundaries while preparing new albums and touring projects.
