Music career[]
Note: This is a generic section stub. Expand it by clicking Edit to right of the section title.
While she has had a successful solo singing career, she only had 1 single (Amagami SS ED4, Koi wa Mizu-iro 2010) and 1 album (Blooming Voices 2008) reach the Oricon charts. The single peaked at #16 on the Oricon singles chart and the album reached #55 on the Oricon album chart. Overall, she released 5 singles and 6 albums. However, she has been part of several collaboration and tie-in projects that have hit the Oricon charts.
Strangely, she has never been part of a seiyuu idol unit.
