Biography

edit

Ōmoto was born and raised in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and attended Actor's School Hiroshima with friends and Perfume members Ayaka Nishiwaki and Yuka Kashino. [1][2][3]She was placed in the advanced class for singing, as she was always interested in singing. In a letter she wrote to her "Future Me" she recalled her singing teacher telling her if she just wanted to sing and dance because she loved it. Nishiwaki and Kashino were still in the beginner class at this time, meeting Ōmoto secretly.[6]

Before she became a member of Perfume, Nocchi was part of other idol groups such as "Happy Baby" (ハッピーベイビー, Happībeibī) and "La Ayanota" (ラ･アヤノータ, Ra ayanōta).[7]

She joined the group in summer of 2000, replacing the original third member Yuka Kawashima, who left the group to focus on her schoolwork.

In 2002, she appeared in an advertisement for Johnson & Johnson.[6][8][9]

Ōmoto graduated from Horikoshi High School.[10][11] In April 2007, she enrolled into J. F. Oberlin University together with fellow Perfume member Yuka Kashino.[12] However, while Kashino graduated in March 2011, Ōmoto dropped out by 2008.

On 18 April 2008, Perfume made a special guest appearance performing "Ceramic Girl" at the ending of drama Sumire 16 sai!!.[13]

On 23 March 2012, Perfume made a special guest appearance performing "Baby Cruising Love" in the movie Moteki.[14]

On 31 March and 1 April 2017, Ōmoto played the character Noribu in the TV Tokyo special drama Pensées.[15]

In September 2017, Ōmoto dubbed the voice of the mail delivery person in the Fastening Days 3 mini-series.[16]

NOCCHi's regular page "NOCCHi wants to play games!" on the Japanese music news site Ongaku Natalie was first released on January 1, 2020.[17][18]

On May 27, 2024 NOCCHi duetted with Ringo Sheena on the single "1RKO", featured on the album Carnival.[19]
