In 2016, she won a new writer's award for contemporary poetry with her first collection of poems, "Sabaku." She is currently writing a column for the magazine "Bungakukai," and her unique linguistic power, which goes beyond just lyrics, is attracting attention. In 2017, she appeared in the NHK drama "Yurusanai to Iu Bouryoku ni Tsuite Kangae Yo" as the main character's sister, demonstrating that her expression is not limited to any single medium. She is scheduled to release a 4-track EP, "Slow In," in July 2020.
