This page is about the utaite nano (ナノ), not to be confused with the utaite nano Shizuki (紫月菜乃), the musician nayuta, who also went by the name of NANO, nano, and Nano Hazuki (葉月なの, 葉月奈乃), or the utaite *Nano.

A sample of a cover song by Nano "Rolling Girl" -English ver.-, composed by wowaka

nano (ナノ) is known for her strong, tomboyish voice. Due to her deep voice, she could be considered a "ryouseirui".

She can sing in both Japanese and English, as she was born in New York. She returned to Japan and because of that, some of her covers are tagged with "The returnee has" (帰国子女が). She also writes English lyrics for the VOCALOID songs she covers, giving them a western touch without losing the original style; therefore, she often tags her songs with "western style" (洋楽っぽく). She mainly covers VOCALOID songs, but also has covered a few songs by Avril Lavigne.

Her avatar generally has red, mid-length hair and sometimes wearing a mask.

nano also contributed to various games and anime, singing themes, etc.. They can be found here.

On March 14, 2012, she made her major debut, signing under the label "flying DOG". On March 16, 2013 she held her first concert.

On January 19, 2013, she started hosting a real-time radio program called NANORAJI on her website.
