Jun Shibata, nicknamed Shibajun, is a J-pop singer who achieved moderate success on the country's music scene with her soft ballads that are often entirely piano-based (she also has a handful of upbeat tracks that show touches of light jazz). Shibata, who pens her own tunes, debuted in 2001 with the indie single "Boku No Mikata," soon re-released by Dreamusic. Shibata left her first scratch on the Oricon charts with the single "Sore Demo Kita Michi" (2002), and, although her debut full-length, Ooruto No Kumo (2002), only charted at the modest number 59, the singles "Kataomoi" (2002) and "Tonari No Heya" (2003) made it to the Top 20.
