She is the only daughter of Yuusuke Tamura (田村雄介, Tamura Yūsuke), chairman of renowned music company Tamura Productions, and former idol singer Minako Tamura (田村美奈子, Tamura Minako). Having possessed a talent for singing since birth, Eriko has always loved their media world. However, her parents were involved in a car accident which killed her father and left her mother in a coma.
