{{nihongo|Yoshimi Iwasaki|岩崎良美|Iwasaki Yoshimi|born June 15, 1961}} is a Japanese singer and actress.

Career

Iwasaki is notable for singing most of the various theme songs for the anime television series Touch along with Yumekojo.

In 2008, she joined the fantasy band Sound Horizon for the release of their 6th story CD Moira.{{cite news|url=http://sanhora.webs.com/band.html |title=the fantasy band |work=White Crow:Sound Horizon International Fansite |date=December 12, 2010 |access-date=December 12, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101217083324/http://sanhora.webs.com/band.html |archive-date=December 17, 2010 }} However, she left the band for undisclosed reasons prior to the 6th Story Concert and was subsequently replaced by Azumi Inoue. She appeared in the No Laughing Hotel Man special of the popular variety show Gaki no Tsukai which took place in 2009, performing a new version of the song Touch with slightly altered lyrics.{{cite news|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1575835/|title=Zettai ni waratte wa ikenai hotel man 24 ji|work=IMDb|date=December 12, 2010|access-date=December 12, 2010}}
