Delete not notable outside the duo. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. According to Oricon, she has three solo albums that have charted, one of which peaked at #27 and remained on the charts for 11 weeks. See here. WP:MUSICBIO states that "A musician ... may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria," with one of those criteria being "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." Since it does not specify a particular position on the charts, I think she has cleared notability requirements. After only a brief search, I have also found a number citations of her as a solo artist in RS: BS Asahi (nationwide satellite TV), the Yomiuri shinbun, Yomiuri again, Shiga hochi, Ameba, etc. Michitaro (talk) 17:40, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the reliable coverage by Michitaro. Also, her songs charted, so that works for me. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:00, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Michitaro, passes MUSICBIO and GNG. Cavarrone (talk) 20:02, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - is a charted musician. However, the article needs a large amount of expanding, more sources and generally bringing in-line with a standard Wiki article - as does the related article of Le Couple. Lukeno94 (talk) 20:52, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Michitaro, trusting the translation from Japanese is correct and that there is a charting album. Passes WP:MUSICBIO, and additional sources appear to put it past WP:GNG. --Batard0 (talk) 18:33, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
