In 2001 she was cast as Mizuno Ami in the Sera Myu stage musicals, and in 2002 she became a model for the junior fashion magazine Love Berry. She soon became a fan favorite and was featured in the U-15 and Berry Smile photobooks. She released her solo photobook, 15" in 2002 and an idol DVD, Pop! followed.

In 2004 Ochi signed with VAP and released her debut single, "be your girl" on April 28, 2004. The song had a downbeat pop-rock sound and it was used as the ending theme for the Elfen Lied anime.

The single reached #157 on the Oricon and charted for only one week.
Ochi's third single, "Kizunairo" was released two months after her previous single and was the first single she wrote. The single reached #150 on the Oricon and charted for only one week. Almost two months later brought the release of her debut album, brilliance. The album barely cracked into the top hundred, ranking at #92 and charting for only two weeks.
Only four months after the release of her debut album, she released her fourth single "Candy Baby / Mama Made". This single is currently her worst selling single, as it did not rank on the Oricon. Ochi stayed quiet for about seven months before she announced any new music, as she was enrolled in Asia University from April 2005.
On July 26th, 2006 Ochi released her fifth single, "Sakura Kiss". The song was used as the opening song for the Ouran High School Host Club anime. This tie-up helped make the single her best selling release to date. The single reached #71 on the Oricon and charted for a total of six weeks.
