They released their first single in August 2014.[1][2] She is a member of a mini unit in the Love Live! project, Lily White, alongside Aina Kusuda (voice of Nozomi Toujou) and Suzuko Mimori (voice of Umi Sonoda).[3]

Her song "Aoi Honō Syndrome" (青い炎シンドローム, Blue Flame Syndrome) is used as the ending theme to the 2017 anime television series Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters.[4] Her song "Itsuka Sekai ga Kawaru Made" (いつか世界が変わるまで, "Someday Until The World Changes") is used as the ending theme to the 2018 anime television series Boarding School Juliet.[5]
