Personality
Nanami is outgoing and cheerful. She gets along well with Eiko. She also likes driving. But her outlook and worldview can be quite cynical due to what she experienced during her three years in her band, but this would eventually change as she sings and busk with Eiko on the streets.

Early Life
During high school Nanami Kuon formed a band with her classmates, Futaba and Ichika, naming their band AZALEA. During the next three years, they will perform mainly in Tokyo, but sturggle to gain any followers.

In one year, they managed to participate at the Yoyogi Arts Festival but was given a secluded spot and was outplayed by the Jet Jackets, which was more popular and had a more prominent spot. This did not deter the trio however, and they kept on staging performances.

Soon after, they met Karasawa, producer from Key Time, a major record company. Karasawa gave them a harsh assessment and told them they'll never be popular if they continue to run the band like that, and persuaded them to play his songs instead. Nanami refused in rage and vowed to never sign with Keytime and sing Karasawa's songs.

However, their band continued to struggle. Faced with high rent cost by living in Tokyo, Nanami finally relented and agreed to do as Karasawa says, even going to him personally to apologize. Karasawa told Nanami he'll bring them to the top of the charts.
