Background info about Tsukiko Amano
Amano's love of music began at the age of five, when she started piano lessons. Not much is known about her personal life, but her early career included songwriting for theatre groups and a band with her friend and backing singer, Rie.
Her first single, Hakoniwa, was released on April 1st 2001 as a tie-in with theatre company PORT+PORTAL's play of the same name. It was also used as the ending theme for the TV Asahi drama "D's Garage".
Her breakthrough single came in November of that year with Bodaiju reaching #66 on the Oricon chart. This song was the ending theme for another TV Asahi drama, "Midnight Mermaid."
She has contributed a total of four songs to the Fatal Frame series. The first was "Chou" for 2003's Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. She was asked to return with another song for 2005's Fatal Frame III: The Tormented, and produced "Koe".
In 2008, Amano announced her decision to "retire" the name of Tsukiko Amano, and that along with her album ZERO, her image songs for Fatal Frame IV would be her last releases under that name. These two songs, "Zero no Chouritsu" and "NOISE" are both used as ending themes, "Zero no Chouritsu" used in the Hard Mode ending and "NOISE" for the rest.
Tsukiko Amano is a solo alternative artist, but has been known to team up with other artists on the Otokora label. While she will be ending her solo career, she is still pursuing music and songwriting through other forms of expression. She is still part of the Otokura group: A Lunch.
