In 2013, she made her solo debut with Sony Music Japan under the moniker Yasuda Rei with the single "Best of my Love". Her first live performance took place at the Saitama Super Arena during the Tokyo Girls Collection 2013 A/W event.

Her eleventh single "over and over / dazzling tomorrow" is released this week on July 17th.
