(Thanks to: Masamichi T.)
I saw her singing on the street in the end July 2007. She was trying to hand-sell 3,000CDs in 90days and she made it in 85days or so. Then she started another one with 7,000 CDs in 180 days in major cities in Japan. She could not make it the result was 5,800, but she again started on 11th June 2008 with 7,000CDs in 180days. Perdon the quality of the video...
She has started up their own compnay called BirthdayEve Inc. in March 2010. Live schedule & further info is available at http://ameblo.jp/ibukiyui

English translation of the lyrics as follows.
I am hopeless with poesy, pls advise if you have better translation...

真夏の夜の夢　/ Manatsu no Yoru no Yume -　Midsummer Night's Dream

Millions of scintillation, taking leaves with each other
Flowers dance in the midsummer night sky

Knowing never be able to come back, holding burning pain in the heart,
Sacrificing own flesh and blood

My ephemeral moment, please watch it vanish in the sky
Although a blink of an eye, the residual remains for ever

Flowers of flame move heart of yours,
never to be the constellation of the summer sky,
gracefully vanish only with the residual in hearts
as if be a midsummer night's dream

Starlit sky, too quiet the night
Bustle of the flow of the people
seems even drift away things happened a second ago

Even so, when you are on the way back home,
please look up the night sky and remember

If this summer is to die,
I shall be await next summer
and shall forget you in the deep, deep ocean

Flowers of flame reflect on the face of water,
burn my feelings to ashes with you
gracefully vanish only with the residual in hearts
as if be a midsummer night's dream

Flowers of flame move heart of yours,
never to be the constellation of the summer sky,
gracefully vanish only with the residual in hearts
as if be a midsummer night's dream


何億の火花が　互いに別れを告げて
大輪の華が　夜空に舞った
二度と戻れぬ覚悟と　焦がれる痛みを抱いて
自らこの身滅ぼしてゆくの

私の消えゆく様を　あなたはどうか見ていて
一瞬だけど永遠に　残像として残るわ

胸を揺さぶる炎の華よ
夏の星座になる夢は叶わなくとも
打ちあがり咲いて潔く消える
まるで真夏の一夜の夢のごとく

やけに静かな星空
せわしないひとの流れ
一秒前のことまでもまるで

それでもあなたはどうか
ひとり家路に着く時
夜空を見上げ思い出して

今年の夏が死ぬなら
次の夏を待ちましょう
そしてあなたを忘れましょう
深く、深い海で

水面に映る灼熱の華よ
私の想いさえも灰に変えてしまえ
打ちあがり咲いて潔く消える
まるで真夏の一夜の夢のごとく

胸を揺さぶる炎の華よ
夏の星座になる夢は叶わなくとも
打ちあがり咲いて潔く消える
まるで真夏の一夜の夢のごとく

Oh, she mainly sings on the street and hand-sells CDs. Now she is on her 6 months tour singing on the street in major cities of all over Japan... It is deadly cold now in Japan, but she is so definite in sticking to that plan, and that is why I really hope she will make it what she dreams of...
