Aya Itō (伊藤 彩, Itō Aya, born October 11, 1991), better known by her stage name Luna Haruna (春奈 るな, Haruna Runa)[2] is a Japanese singer and fashion model from Tokyo.

Biography

[edit]

Luna Haruna was interested in anime and music from a young age.[3] In her first year of junior high school, she became obsessed with Gothic Lolita manga characters, and started to collect Western clothes.[4] In her third year of junior high school, she auditioned for the Internet radio program of Rental Magica, and was selected to perform the opening theme. She became popular as an imoto-kei amateur model in the fashion magazine Kera when she was in her second year of high school, and also did tie-in modelling for Marui.[4] She gained popularity when she became a finalist at the fourth All-Japan Anime Song Grand Prix.[1]

In an interview with Japanese entertainment website Nihongogo, Luna shares her inspiration behind her career "In terms of TV and anime, I grew up watching and singing the songs from Sailor Moon. As for music artists, I was really inspired by Chiaki Ishikawa and also ALI PROJECT. When I watched them perform, I was really amazed by the power of music and song. This really inspired me to become a musician and an artist."[5]

Career

Haruna started singing full-time in 2011, and released her debut single "Sora wa Takaku Kaze wa Utau" (空は高く風は歌う, The Sky is High and the Wind Sings) on May 2, 2012, which is used as the second ending theme to the 2011 anime series: Fate/Zero.
