Career

Prior to joining BiSH, Aina the End moved to Tokyo and first worked as a singer at a nightclub in Shibuya, then in a backup dancing unit named PARALLEL for the singer Yucat.[2][3] Following the disbandment of BiS, the manager of the group, Junnosuke Watanabe, began auditions for a new group named BiSH in January 2015.[4] In March of the same year, Aina the End was revealed as one of the five members who passed the auditions.[5] Within the group, she is known for her husky voice, and has also choreographed songs for BiSH and EMPiRE.[1][6]

On December 2016, Aina the End (and the rest of BiSH) briefly went on hiatus as she underwent surgery for vocal polyps.[6][7] She returned the next year for the release of the single "Promise the Star".[8] After the release of Wack & Scrambles Works, a joint album of groups under the management of WACK that included the reformed BiS and Gang Parade, a popularity contest was held for all participating members. The top two ranked members would release a single together under Avex Trax. Aina the End won second place behind fellow BiSH member Cent Chihiro Chicchi.[9] The single titled "Yoru Ōji to Tsuki no Hime/Kienai de" was released on September 19, 2018, with Aina the End singing the second song.[10]

Outside of BiSH, Aina the End has appeared as the vocalist for other artists such as TeddyLoid,[11] Mondo Grosso,[12] Marty Friedman,[13] My First Story,[14] and DISH//.[15] She also performed the outro of the 2020 television drama Shinitai Yoru ni Kagitte. The song, which is titled after the series, was the first song written entirely by Aina the End.[16]

She will release her debut solo album, The End, on February 3, 2021.[17]
