Wyolica (ワイヨリカ) is a two-piece folk-pop/chillout group from Japan. They consist of Azumi (vocals) and So-To (guitar) and debuted in 1999. The band's name is a neologism defined as “people of the grass fields.”
Biography
Wyolica formed in 1997 when guitarist So-to met Azumi at a Sony audition. So-To has said his influences were Nick Heyward from Haircut One Hundred and Brian McKnight and he cut his teeth in an Earth, Wind & Fire tribute band during his college days. Azumi cites her main influences as Ella Fitzgerald and Keith Jarrett.
They released their debut single on 21 May 1999 titled Kanashii Wagamama (悲しいわがまま), produced by one of Japan's leading producers, Shinichi Osawa.
Their debut album, Who Said La La? was released in February 2000 and the group, who dubbed their music "Funky Soul," followed it up with two more albums by the end of 2003.
In 2003 Azumi left Wyolica to get married and moved to the United States, living in California. She returned as a solo artist in 2005, releasing three singles, Kick Up Kiss, Snowflake and Fly.

Black Cat Bone
by: LaikaMust have been the devil who changed my mind
Must have been the wind blowing not me crying
Half the joy of icaving was the space I left behind
Now I'm back, angelheaded holloweyed
Placed myself at the eye of the storm
Just didn't see the signpost to scorn
The blue sky wrinkled through my tears
Them darkness grounded all my fears
I gave him my sugar; he switched it for salt
Should have seem him coming that's always my fault
Rocks for my pillow and sand for my bed
For better or worse I left him for dead
But two rivers to each other run
Words that shook me like the kick of a gun
Had something in my heart ain't got no name
Turned out he left the same
Ain't it lonesome, ain't it sad
I was the only happiness he ever had
By indian river the vows were said
In a red devil's dress I was wed
Cat cat bone, cat cat cat bone x8
Bitch baby round lady
Came to me in a dream
Them lightning struck and thunder roared
And nothing was as it seemed
A two-headed doctor walked on the water
And buried a lemon outside my door
He turned and laughed, threw up his hands
When I asked him what it was for
He sang 'ships in the ocean rocks in the sea
Blond-headed woman made a fool outta me'
Them everything went crazy
My shoes filled with blood
The water rose the wind did howl
The river looked ready to flood
I left my man asleep to drown
And ran without looking back around
Ring the bells of mercy
Send the sinnerman home
The keys to the kingdom are lost and gone
And I'm left to die alone
All these irls grown old now
All that long hair in the grave
Realize what's done is done
It's far too late to be saved
Yeah cat cat cat x3
