Biography
Ryoko Shinohara is a Japanese singer and actress born August 13, 1973.

The follow-up album Lady Generation: Shukujo no Jidai (1995) also topped charts. As her music's commercial momentum slowed in the latter half of the 1990s, Shinohara shifted focus to acting.
She became a fixture in Japanese television drama, earning recognition from the Japan Times for her "long reign as a TV drama queen". Her most celebrated acting roles include detective Yukihira Natsumi in the series Unfair, which expanded into three feature films and several specials, and temp worker Haruko Oomae in Haken no Hinkaku. She has also starred in acclaimed cinema, winning two Japan Academy Film Prizes in 2018 for her roles in The House Where the Mermaid Sleeps and Sakura Guardian in the North.
