Ann Lewis

 (アン・ルイス) is a former rock singer. She is known as a pioneer of kayoukyoku rock music.

She was scouted in 1970 at age 14 by lyricist Nakanishi Rei while walking in Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery. This led to her debut the next year under Victor Entertainment.

She initially performed idol music typical of the time, but switched to rock music after Good Bye My Love became her first hit in 1974.

She married rock singer Kuwana Masahiro in 1980. Their first son, now multi-talent Myuuji, was born in 1981. She took a break from music activities for the rest of the year to care for her son. She and Kuwana divorced in 1984.

Around 1995, she discovered she had a panic disorder. She moved to Los Angeles in 1999 to rest and was inactive until 2005.

She retired from entertainment on April 6, 2013. She has moved back to Los Angeles.

Trivia

 * Her father was American (a navy soldier stationed in Japan).
 * She was raised in Los Angeles, California, United States in Bayside Court, which used to be a housing area for navy soldiers.
 * She was close friends with the late Korean-Japanese singer-songwriter and music journalist CINDY: the two were close due to the fact that they were fluent in English and because they both lived in the United States in the same city and at the same time, as both were residents of Los Angeles (the largest city in California and the West Coast of the USA).
