Aimer covers songs and produces her own as well. She made her musical debut in 2011 with the song "Rokutousei no Yoru", which was selected by Fuji TV as the ending theme of the 2011 anime series No. 6. She has also sang for other anime including Vinland Saga, Puella Magi and Bleach.
Personal life[]
Her father was the bassist of a band, so Aimer grew up surrounded by music from a very young age. She began studying the piano in elementary school and highly looked up to Ringo Sheena and Utada Hikaru. In junior high school, listening to Avril Lavigne inspired her to take up guitar and began writing English lyrics.
At the age of 15, Aimer lost her voice due to over-usage of her vocal cords and was forced to undergo silence therapy for treatment. However, that did not stop her, and after she recovered, she acquired her distinctive husky voice.
Trivia[]
- Her name comes from the verb "Aimer" in French, which means "to love".
