Biography
Noriko Mitose sang for church choir when she was young but did not get involved in the music scene until she and Toshihiko Inoue formed Kirche in 1993.

Her following album releases, crochet and savon compile the songs she has done for games.

Apart from kirche, Mitose also provided the vocal and lyrics for ORITA, a band she formed with composer Naruki. She has also contributed to various dojin music circles, such as APPLE Project and WAVE.
