Biography

Satō spent part of her elementary years studying in Australia as part of an exchange program, and would return to the country for studies while in high school.[2] She originally considered pursuing as a career as a pharmacist or civil servant upon the advice of her parents, but decided to pursue a music career upon reaching high school. During that time, she became a member of her school's light music club, becoming a vocalist and later bassist of a band. Her desire to become a musician was also inspired by her seeing how amateur bands were being discovered on Twitter. Her parents were initially disapproving of her plans as they thought it would affect her studies for university entrance exams, but became supportive after she passed and entered university.[3] While in university, she participated in a program where students could visit a Chinese school and bring gifts. During her commutes between her home and school, she would look at the scenery while riding the train and write down lyrics.
