Kawamura Ayano made her first notable appearances in 2008 and 2009, appearing in Imagine Musical stage productions such as "Little Women" in July 2008 and "Anne of Green Gables" in August 2009, as well as local commercials. On November 24, 2009 she was appointed the title of Osakan PR Ambassador. The next month on December 9th she released her first major and only solo single, a promotional cover of the 1991 Osakan PR campaign song "Osakana Tengoku 2010". She went on to also recieve the title of Kochi Prefecture Tourism Envoy along with the local Kochi prefecture based indie idol group Hachikin Girls.

After appearing with the group at multiple events as part of their tourism promotions Ayano participated in the Hachikin Girls Member Audition and later became a member of Hachikin Girls on April 17, 2011. Her graduation from Hachikin Girls was announced several years later on June 6, 2016, where she stated her desire to pursue a dream she'd held since early childhood. The graduation officially took place on June 12th.

Project in the future pending discussions with their parents, though it was unspecified as to if they would become part of a new group or join existing groups.

Project webshow "Hello Station" was released on June 26, 2017, announcing the debut placements of the three previously chosen Hello Pro Kenshuusei members and the group transfers of three Country Girls members.
