Harumi Tsuyuzaki (also known as Lyrico) is a Japanese soul and R&B singer-songwriter based in Tokyo.
Known for her powerful and expressive vocals rooted in Black music traditions, she debuted in 1995 and became one of the pioneering voices of Japan’s emerging R&B scene.

Inspired by the 28th Grammy Awards at the age of eleven, she began her musical journey studying percussion and various instruments. At sixteen, encountering the gospel musical Mama, I Want to Sing! deeply shaped her artistic identity and led her to center her expression around the voice as her primary instrument.

In 2001, she began releasing music under the name Lyrico, exploring a new musical direction that blended oriental elements with contemporary R&B. She returned to her original name in 2008 and has since released 19 singles and 15 albums.
