Biography[edit]

Early life and music interest[edit]

Ito was born to a Korean mother and a Japanese father[1] in Los Angeles, California. She has a younger brother, Johnny. Her family later moved to Oahu, Hawaii. From a young age, Ito dreamed about becoming a singer. She was inspired by the powerful vocals of Celine Dion.[2] At the age of fifteen, she was offered a recording contract, but turned it down. She later explained: 'They saw me as a girl and not a singer.'[2]

Endless Story Reira Starring Yuna Ito RARE

Initially, when Ito told her parents of plans to become a singer they disapproved of her choice. Her parents wanted Ito to attend school and meet a 'nice guy'. Ito disagreed with her parents, saying they wanted to 'compact her life into a storybook'.[2] Ito graduated from McKinley High School in 2001. She moved to Japan in 2003.[1]

2005—2007: Debut[edit]

In 2005, Ito was chosen to portray Reira Serizawa, the vocalist for rock band Trapnest in the film adaptation of Ai Yazawa's popular manga series Nana.[2] She released her debut single, 'Endless Story', under the name 'Reira Starring Yuna Ito'; the song was used as one of the theme songs for the film. 'Endless Story' debuted on the Oricon chart at the #2 position.[3] Following the release of 'Endless Story' was her second single, 'Faith/Pureyes' (2006), which debuted at #6 on the charts.[2][3]

Ito released her third single, 'Precious', which debuted at #3 on the charts.[3] The single contained two b-sides, 'I'm Free' and 'Secret'; the latter was co-written by Ito and was the first time she contributed to one of her singles. Ito released three more singles in 2006; 'Stuck on You', 'Losin', and 'Truth'. The singles debuted at the respective numbers of #20, #19 and #10.[3] 'Truth', released under the name 'Reira Starring Yuna Ito', was used as a theme song for Nana 2 in which Ito again portrayed Reira Serizawa.

Yuna Ito Endless Story Lyrics

Ito started off 2007 with the release of her debut album Heart. Upon its release Heart topped the Oricon album chart.[2]Heart was certified Double Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.[4] In March, Ito released her seventh single, 'I'm Here', which debuted at #15 on the Oricon chart.[3]

The single following 'I'm Here' was 'Mahaloha' (June), which was a collaboration with Micro from the band Def Tech. The single debuted at #5 on the chart. Along with Micro, Ito wrote the lyrics and composed the song.[5] At the end of the year, Ito released her ninth single, 'Urban Mermaid', which debuted at #10 on the charts.[3]

2008—present: Rise to prominence[edit]

Her tenth single, entitled 'Anata ga Iru Kagiri: A World to Believe In', was released in on January 16, 2008. The song is a duet with Celine Dion. When Dion heard Ito's rendition of her song, she proposed the idea of a duet.[6] Dion originally released this song on her latest English album Taking Chances. The song was used in an auLISMO commercial.[7] 'A World to Believe In' was nominated for 'Best Collaboration Video', for the MTV Video Awards Japan '08,[8] but lost to Kumi Koda's Last Angel.[9]

The singer's second album Wish was released on February 20 and debuted at number three on the charts. Since the release of Wish, the album has been certified gold by the RIAJ.[10]Unite As One a song on her album, was used as the ending theme song for Konami's Time Hollow.[11] In March, Ito became spokesperson for Proactiv Japan.[12] Ito was featured in the commercial along with her song, 'Tokyo Days', as the theme.[12]

In June 2008, Ito collaborated with popular Japanese music producer Takeshi Kobayashi (who produced music for Mr. Children, a famous Japanese band) and Russian conductor Mikhail Pletnev, to sing 'Gate', the theme song for the documentary movie with the same name, Gate.[13][14]

Her eleventh single entitled 'Miss You' was released on September 3, 2008[15] and was used as the theme song for Ito En Vitamin Fruit.[16] 'Miss You' inspired the cellphone novel Tenshi no Koi (天使の恋, lit. 'Angel's Love'), which was written by sin.[17] 'Love Machine Gun' was also used as the main theme song for the novel.[18] Ito was featured in the 6/4 edition of the magazine, Oricon Style, as the fifth-most suited for bridal wear.[19] She was also featured in the 6/11 edition as sixth for most princess-like.[20]

Her next single titled 'Koi wa Groovy x2' (恋はgroovy×2, lit. 'Love Is Groovy Groovy') was used as the Gap Japan's 2008 Holiday Collection Winter Neutrals campaign song. In addition to her song being used, Ito was also chosen to be a Gap model in July.[1] Ito released an English version of 'Koi wa Groovy x2', entitled 'groovy x2' under the pseudonym Christine Ito (伊藤 クリスティーン).[21]Sony Music Japan created an official website for Christine and a blog.[22][23]

Ito collaborated with hip-pop/reggae duo Spontania for their single 'Ima Demo Zutto' (今でもずっと, lit. 'Now and Forever'), which was released on January 28, 2009.[24] Ito's thirteenth single 'Trust You', became the fourth ending theme song for the animeMobile Suit Gundam 00 Second Season. The single was released on March 4, 2009 and became Ito's first Top 5 single since 'Mahaloha' in 2007.

On March 31, 2009 'Ima Demo Aitai Yo..' feat. Spontania (今でも会いたいよ.., lit. 'I Still Miss You'), which was the answer song to Spontania's 'Ima Demo Zutto', was released online through ringtone sites. Ito's third album titled Dream was released on May 27, 2009.[15] A single, 'Let It Go', was released on November 11, 2009.

In June 2010, Yuna opened a special project named '洋楽カバーをやってほしい' (lit. 'I Want You to Do a Western Cover'). The idea was that she would do a live cover on her radio show Heart to Heart. However, there were so many requests that her official website took the project and turned it into Ito Yuna Respects. After that 10 songs were selected (that were requested the most) and people could vote on one of these songs. The song that won the poll was Aerosmith's 'I Don't Want to Miss a Thing'.[25] After recording and releasing the song on July 28, the project announced a second poll. The song that got selected was Elvis Costello's 'She'.[26] The song was released on August 25.[27] A third song was Chicago's 'Hard to Say I'm Sorry'.[28]

On 9 September, the website Spanspo mentioned that the drama named Ougon no Buta would feature a theme song sung by Yuna.[29] Two weeks later Sony's Music Shop confirmed the theme song would be released as a new single named 'Mamotte Agetai'. The single was released on 3 November 2010.[30]

Ito then released her first compilation album Love: Single's Best 2005—2010 on December 8. It marks Ito's final release under her record company as of 2012.
