Music career[]

Her career started with the Avex "Anison Vocal Audition" (『アニソン・ヴォーカルオーディション』) in 2012 where she joined the i☆Ris. She initially expected to be a solo act, so it took some adjustment to be part of a group. She eventually did perform a solo live in 2016 at Zepp DiverCity in Tokyo, but she continues her activities with i☆Ris. She has performed many anime theme songs, but her most well-known solo song is Devi-Cue (2019), the ending theme to Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (2019).
With i☆Ris, she has released over 23 singles with at least 7 reaching the Oricon top 10 and 7 more in the top 20 on the Oricon singles charts. With the group, she released 1 mini-album and 4 albums. All the albums reached at least the Oricon top 20 with the most recent one, Shall we☆Carnival (2020), reaching #10. They released a "best" album on November 7, 2022 which reached #12 on the Oricon album charts. They have performed 20 anime tie-in songs and 8 tie-in songs to other TV shows and games. The unit has had too many one-man and joint lives to mention.
Besides i☆Ris and MUG-MO, she has been a member of a few other singing units. She was a member of the seiyuu idol unit Pearly☆Fairy (2018 to 2019) related to the anime Million Arthur (2018+). She was a member of the seiyuu idol unit REIJINGSIGNAL (2020 to 2022) related to the anime SHOW BY ROCK!! Mashumairesh!! (2020) and the SHOW BY ROCK!! (2013+) mixed media project. She was a member of the seiyuu idol unit SUMMONERS 2+ (2018 to 2022) related to the anime How Not to Summon a Demon Lord (2018+). She was a member of the seiyuu idol unit Carbuncle (2017-only?) related to the anime Idol Incidents (2017). She was a member of the seiyuu idol unit SoLaMi Dressing (2016-only?), SoLamaggedonMi (2015-only?), & SoLaMi♡SMILE (2015-only?) related to the anime PriPara (2014+).
While she has performed mostly with i☆Ris, she has continued to perform as a solo singer. From 2018, she has released 4 singles with the first two reaching the top 20 of the Oricon singles charts and I love you even on my worst days (2018) peaking at #17. She has released 2 mini-albums and one full album that peaked #18 on the Oricon album chart. Through 2023, she has performed 5 anime tie-in songs as a solo act. She has performed over 125 character songs! From 2019 to 2022 she has held 3 one-man lives and 16 joint lives including Animelo Summer Live 2019 and ANIMAX MUSIX 2021.
