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

Biography

nano was born on July 12, in New York,[1] but later returned to Japan, therefore some of nano's covers are tagged "The returnee has"(帰国子女が).

nano posted covers of Vocaloid, Anime and Avril Lavigne songs online, first on YouTube and later on Japanese site Niconico. nano 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, and "Rock On." for the first film of Arpeggio of Blue Steel, Arpeggio of Blue Steel -Ars Nova DC-.

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 wo Undekure!, "Silence" as the theme song of the Japanese horror channel Den Of Horror ~Horror no Soukutsu~!, "Happy Ending Simulator" as the theme song of the arcade game GUNSLINGER STRATOS 2, "Scarlet Story" as the theme song of a Japanese puppetry Sherlock Holmes, "Infinity≠Zero" as the theme song for the Japanese live action film Bakumatsu Kokosei, and "PARALYZE:D" as the theme song of the PlayStation Vita game RE:VICE[D].
