カネコアヤノ (band format: kanekoayano / other spellings: Kaneko Ayano, Ayano Kaneko) born 30/01/1993 is a musician, actress and model raised in Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, the younger of two sisters. She started playing guitar in third grade of junior high school after not having success in learning the piano. The idea to play the guitar came because she was a fan of Chatmonchy. She played at home but hated practising and studying. According to her she was really bad at guitar, just playing G and C all the time. The band she liked the most was Happy End, but she also liked Tama, Ko Machida and INU, Masamune Kusano (Spitz), POLYSICS, Tokyo Karankoron, Kegawa No Maries, SEBASTIAN X, Siamese Cats and Jun Togawa. Kaneko was a fan of the idol group Hello!Project at the time but she recognised she was too old to be one of them. Apart from them, Kaneko especially liked the 70's idol-group Candies, Pink Lady and the 70's idol Asaoka Megumi. She explains the song S・O・S by Pink Lady was used by an animation she watched when she was little. In her teens she remembered it and searched the original and that's how she got hooked up with this music. In her high-school years she had been in a band for a short while, and mostly she frequented a lot of live houses in the Shinjuku and Shimokitazawa area since her second year. She started writing songs around third year highschool but without showing it to anyone. In 2012 while she was a second-year student at Wako University after a period of writing less she went back to singing and making music because all of her friends seemed to be making music at the time but kept it for herself. It was until one of her friends, Natsuya Hamano, -who would be become her guitarist- heard some of the songs and showed it to his father, Yasumasa Hamano, who was a music engineer. Hamano proposed her to make a record -he would become the drummer and music engineer for it- and that's how the the self-released mini-album 印税生活 came to be. It was an album released before doing any lives. For the first formation, they called themselves カネコアヤノと印税生活 (Kaneko Ayano & Royalties Life) which is how the name for the mini-album came to be. Next she would be contacted by a manager from Kitty Entertainment, after hearing the song はっぴいえんどを聴かせておくれよ(仮). This was the manager for the band Scandal, which is how she got to open for them in their Zepp-Tokyo Tour that same year. Read more on Last.fm.
