Rurutia (ルルティア) is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She began her career in 2001 with the release of the single "Itoshigo yo" when she was signed with Toshiba-EMI. She has released twelve albums and eleven singles. Rurutia is intensely private; most aspects of her life – including her real name, date of birth, and hometown, are kept private, and she has never appeared on a TV program or held a live concert since her debut. Her mass media appearances have been limited to broadcasts of the Internet radio program "RURUTIA Planet," which began streaming on her official website after she became independent, interviews with photos posted on her official website, and interviews in music magazines. As for avoiding media exposure, she cites the glamorous world of the public spotlight and her own musical world as being at odds with each other.[1] This, added to her whispered vocals, creates a unique and mysterious artistic persona.

Her pseudonym, Rurutia, is derived from the Tahitian word 'rorotea' meaning "blissful rain".

On May 12, 2024, she announced she would be retiring from the music industry on December 31, 2024, and closing her social media accounts at the same time.[2][3]
