When she discovered the singer May'n, Asaka then wanted to become an anisong singer and participated in various karaoke competitions and auditions. During the 2015 NHK Anison 2nd competition, Asaka qualified and competed in the final round. After passing a voice training school's audition, she had a radio appearance and released her debut single "Open your eyes".
