Ayumi Itō (born August 25, 1984) better known her stage name as Iconiq in Japan and also known as Ayumi in South Korea, is a Japanese singer mostly active in South Korean and Japan. She is a former member of the Korean girl-group Sugar.
Ayumi Itō was born in Tottori Prefecture as a third generation Korean Japanese on August 25, 1984. She lived in Japan until she was 15, after which she moved to South Korea. She attended Korea Kent Foreign School.
Ayumi was scouted by the entertainment company Starworld at a H.O.T. concert, debuting as part of South Korean girl group Sugar in 2001. The band released two albums in Japan and three in Korea, to only moderate commercial success. The group official disbanded in 2006.
In 2006, the band broke up, and Iconiq released two solo singles as Ayumi. The first, a cover of the theme song for Cutie Honey, was released on July 13, 2006, and was criticized by Korean media for her "heavy accent" and the overall Japanese feel of performances. Her second digital single, "Jalmotdoen Mannam" ("Wrongful Meeting") was released on November 7, 2006, and is a cover of Kim Gun Mo's hit from 1995.
The year comes as the sun sets
my eyes swell with simplicity
the call of human nothingness
the answer of everything
i find myself lost in your majesty
The worlds tells of innocence
like the child inside of me
it's only good while its hearts beats beauty
brave the pain
so you may drink of me
You left me
as i walk beside the water
look up to the moon
my life becomes a river
as i run into you
Stars prick their bed of pink
bleeding blue
find there way to you eyes
as i stare into you
self falls away in the twilight
this is the first of our summer nights
now there is nothing we must be or do
If i could freeze this moment in time
i'd frame it and hang it in the hall of divive
i'd call the whole world and beg them to see
how much we love
how lucky i'd be
You left me
as i walk beside the water
look up to the moon
my life becomes a river
as i run into you
I don't know where we end up begin
i don't know if that's yours of my skin
i've got nothing to lose
everything I am i give up to you
As i walk beside the water
look up to the moon
my life becomes a river
as i run into you
I walk beside the water
look up to the moon
my life becomes a river
as i run into you
Comes as the sunsets
my eyes swell with simplicity
self falls away in the twilight
