yu-ra (Google translation) are (were?) a Japanese duo who've produced an eclectic mix of beautiful, layered, often ethereal music.
Some of Yu-Ra's work (translation) was produced by Robin Guthrie, late of Cocteau Twins, who said "It took me everywhere. And I thought, 'I want to be a part of it'." (Translation.)
One of the members, Ritsuko, now has a solo site as Rico Piano (translation). She also tweets and has one solo piano video up on YouTube ("This Street").
Links to specific songs: Inspired by.

(I've been wondering what you were referencing over there!)
These are lovely. The Guthrie connection makes perfect sense; "Alive" and "Fish" in particular sound like Cocteau Twins filtered through Japanese aesthetics.
Thanks for putting them on my radar!
