When she was a junior high school student, she formed a cello duo and an ensemble group. At the age of 15, she started playing the baroque cello as part of her classical ensembles. She appeared in many recitals and joint concerts.

I watched it just then with a single lamp on and I got scared when my brother came knocking on my door lol. But it is ok!!! Not that scary! The japanese latest fashion is fusing doll-like fashion (lolita) with goth....surprisingly it looks quite cool to me if it is done properly lol. The Japanese are so big on trends!
