==Biography==

[[File:Amano Tsuki - Ningyou promo.jpg|right|280px|thumb|Amano Tsukiko promoting "[[Ningyou]]" (2002)]]
 +
Amano Tsukiko's love for music started at the age of five, when she took up piano. While in school she entered various music clubs until she eventually came into the spotlight by joining the school's theater group. During high school, Amano bought her first guitar, which she still uses to this day. Her first venture in the music business was when she joined a band, though eventually that foray failed. She had then recorded some songs on a casette tape and sent it to one of her close friends. The tape would wind up in the hands of [[OTOKURA RECORDS]]. They called Amano and said they had appreciated her work, and would work out a contract with her.

==Information==
+
After signing with the independent label in early 2001, she soon released her first set of singles only a couple months apart from each other. Though none of the three would chart on the [[Oricon]] charts, Amano signed with OTOKURA's major label parent company [[Pony Canyon]] and debuted as a major artist with "[[Bodaiju]]" in November of the same year. The major debut single became her first charting release, coming in at #66 on the weekly charts.

Amano's love for music started at the age of five when she took up piano. While in school, she entered music clubs and eventually came into the spot light when she joined a theater group. She bought her first guitar in High School (which she still plays now). She once recorded her songs on a tape and sent it to one of her friends which got onto the hands of [[Otokura Records]]. They called Amano and appreciated her work. She found a band at that time herself, but unfortunately, it failed. Later, she released "[[Hakoniwa]]", "[[Love Dealer]]" and "[[B.G ~Black Guitar + Berry Garden~]]" under the [[Pony Canyon]] indie label as '''Amano Tsukiko''' (天野月子), even though she didn't come into spot-light until her first major debut single "[[Bodaiju]]" in November of 2001. In the year 2007, she left [[Pony Canyon]] and returned independent.

Amano writes her songs as well as designing her clothes for her promotional videos. She is also skilled in guitar and loves to draw. She also has an online web-comic illustrated by herself. Her style of art is rather grotesque and abstract. Amano is quite popular in Japan which could clearly be seen at the opening of her Album "[[A Moon Child in the Sky|A MOON CHILD IN THE SKY]]" in 2005.
+
Amano writes all of her songs as well as composes works for other artists. She is also a clothing designer, making the clothes for her [[PV|promotional videos]]. She is also an illustrator and loves to draw; her style of art is rather abstract. She also has an online webcomic illustrated by herself. Some of her indies releases feature cover artwork of her illustrations, most notably the singles "[[Hikari no Circus]]" and "[[Utsukushiki Mono]]", with each coming with a digital illustrated book.
  
−
In Autumn 2008, Amano announced that she would retire from making music as a solo artist after the release of her final album, "[[Zero (Amano Tsuki album)|ZERO]]". She also changed her stage name to '''Amano Tsuki''' (天野月) and has specified however that she will continue to write songs for other artists.
+
On August 1st, 2008 Amano annonuced that after the year was over (specifically after the release of her fifth studio album ''[[Zero (Amano Tsukiko)|ZERO]]'') she would both retire as a singer and stop activities under her real name. However, she revealed that she would still continue to compose songs for other artists but take more of a "backseat role". On New Year's Day 2009 Amano announced her new stage name would be ''Amano Tsuki'' and that she would turn her focus on being an illustrator. The reasoning for the change was that the [[Wikipedia:Rat (zodiac)|year of the rat]] was over so Amano decided to drop the "rat" kanji (子) from her name. In January of 2010, through her blog, Amano announced that she would return to making music under OTOKURA RECORDS.

Biography

Amano Tsukiko promoting "Ningyou" (2002)

Amano Tsukiko's love for music started at the age of five, when she took up piano. While in school she entered various music clubs until she eventually came into the spotlight by joining the school's theater group. During high school, Amano bought her first guitar, which she still uses to this day. Her first venture in the music business was when she joined a band, though eventually that foray failed. She had then recorded some songs on a casette tape and sent it to one of her close friends. The tape would wind up in the hands of OTOKURA RECORDS. They called Amano and said they had appreciated her work, and would work out a contract with her.

After signing with the independent label in early 2001, she soon released her first set of singles only a couple months apart from each other. Though none of the three would chart on the Oricon charts, Amano signed with OTOKURA's major label parent company Pony Canyon and debuted as a major artist with "Bodaiju" in November of the same year. The major debut single became her first charting release, coming in at #66 on the weekly charts.

Amano writes all of her songs as well as composes works for other artists. She is also a clothing designer, making the clothes for her promotional videos. She is also an illustrator and loves to draw; her style of art is rather abstract. She also has an online webcomic illustrated by herself. Some of her indies releases feature cover artwork of her illustrations, most notably the singles "Hikari no Circus" and "Utsukushiki Mono", with each coming with a digital illustrated book.

On August 1st, 2008 Amano annonuced that after the year was over (specifically after the release of her fifth studio album ZERO) she would both retire as a singer and stop activities under her real name. However, she revealed that she would still continue to compose songs for other artists but take more of a "backseat role". On New Year's Day 2009 Amano announced her new stage name would be Amano Tsuki and that she would turn her focus on being an illustrator. The reasoning for the change was that the year of the rat was over so Amano decided to drop the "rat" kanji (子) from her name. In January of 2010, through her blog, Amano announced that she would return to making music under OTOKURA RECORDS.
