Amano started playing music at the age of 5, when she started taking piano lessons. She was part of her junior high school chorus club as a soprano, and in high school she began to experiment with various musical instruments and joined the theatre group. It was also in high school where she bought her very first guitar, which is now her primary instrument.[citation needed]
Many of Amano's songs have been used as theme songs for commercials, television shows, movies, and video games. Besides writing all of her own songs, Amano also designs and makes most of the costumes in her videos and performances herself. She has published a storybook she wrote while recording her Ningyō video.[citation needed]
On January 10, 2010, she announced she would be returning to music.[1][2]
