I found this artist on Japan Forum. She's awesome ... kinda like a Japanese Alanis Morissette. I thought everyone would like to know about her. The following is a copy/paste from the forum.

I just found this at http://www.homesickblues.com

Homesick Blues tells the story of Hiroko, a Japanese girl who runs away to Chicago hell-bent on becoming a blues singer. On the run from immigration agents, Hiroko gets a firsthand education in Chicago street culture from the vendors and hustlers of Maxwell Street, the birthplace of electric blues. Fighting for her place in the blues scene, a fiery and sensuous new voice emerges from Hiroko's cultural confusion.

Homesick Blues stars 19-year-old Japanese recording artist Zoey. Zoey is a hot young singing sensation poised to break into the international scene. Her debut single is due for release in fall 2003 from Columbia Records Japan.

I found a news article about Zoey's upcoming movie role at http://www.reelchicago.com/archive.cfm?storyID=54 The article is from last year. This just broke in Japan though it seems it was decided last year.
