Chika Asamoto is a professional saxophonist in her own right but nowadays she works chiefly as a producer to promote talented Asian female singers.
Last summer she produced and marketed a recording titled "Forever Peace," a duet sung by her husband, Masaki Ueda, and Indonesian singer Reza. It was released in Japan, Malaysia and other parts of Asia and topped the charts for a long time in Indonesia.
Asamoto has also put out an album by Ash, a Vietnamese artist who grew up in the Middle East, Europe and the United States and who now lives in South Korea. She sold the albums through AMS Record, a recording company she established in 1999. She also released her own work, "Humble Heart," last year.
