Nano (ナノ, stylized as nano) is a singer who originally posted music on YouTube and Niconico before being signed by a record label.

Biography

Nano was born on July 12, in New York City, in the United States,[1] but then moved to Japan.

Nano posted covers of Vocaloid, anime and Avril Lavigne songs online, first on YouTube and later on the Japanese site Niconico. She is bilingual, and sometimes writes English lyrics to the covered songs, giving them a western touch without losing the original style. Eventually this led to a record deal with Japanese major label Flying Dog. The debut album Nanoir was released on March 14, 2012. Nano's first live performance was on March 16, 2013.

Nano has recorded several original theme songs for various anime series, such as "Now or Never" for Phi Brain: Puzzle of God, "No Pain, No Game" and "Exist" for Btooom!, "Savior of Song" (feat. My First Story) for Arpeggio of Blue Steel, "Born To Be" for Magical Warfare, "Sable" for M3 the dark metal, "Dreamcatcher" for Magical Girl Raising Project, and "Rock On." for the first film of Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Arpeggio of Blue Steel: Ars Nova DC, "Bull's Eye" for Hidan no Aria.

Some of Nano's other commercially featured works include:

  • "Destiny: 12 Kaime no Kiseki" as the opening of the PlayStation Portable game Conception: Ore no Kodomo o Undekure!.
  • "Silence" as the theme song of the Japanese horror channel Den Of Horror: Horror no Sokutsu!
  • "Happy Ending Simulator" as the theme song of the arcade game Gunslinger Stratos 2.
  • "Scarlet Story" as the theme song for the Japanese TV puppet show Sherlock Holmes.
  • "Infinity≠Zero" as the theme song for the Japanese live action film Bakumatsu Kokosei.
  • "Paralyze:D" as the theme song of the PlayStation Vita game Re:Vice[D].
  • "Identity Crisis" and "Restart" for the video game Warriors Orochi.
