Not long after the break up, Aiha released her first solo album, Born Beautiful , and in 2006 she released Platonic with collaborations with Cornelius and Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto).

It's a typically cool, eclectic mix of electronic sounds, samples and guitars. Aiha performs in Japanese and English. Something of an art punk, she is sometimes called Japan's PJ Harvey.
