On June 29, 2008 she released her debut indie, "Manopiano."
Having received piano lessons since kindergarten, Mano's solo work within Hello! Project prominently features her the playing piano parts of her musical releases, providing the vocal and piano parts of her songs while performing in concerts and at live events.
Starting in August 2008, she was featured as the opening act in various concerts of main Hello! Project acts such as Abe Natsumi, Morning Musume, Berryz Koubou, and ℃-ute.
In late 2008, Mano released two more indies singles; "Lucky Aura" on October 4 and "Lalala-Sososo" on December 13.
2009
She made her major debut under the hachama label with the single "Otome no Inori," released on March 18.[3] It reached #3 on the Oricon charts on the first day of release and reached #5 on the weekly chart.[4][5]
Mano was announced as one of the members of the new version of Petitmoni called Petitmoni V alongside ℃-ute members Nakajima Saki and Hagiwara Mai.
Matsuura Aya told her via a video comment in April 2009 that she needs to be the best singer in Hello! Project, and in order to do that, she'll need to be a better singer than Takahashi Ai.
From November 11 to 19, Mano starred in the stage play Koisuru Hello Kitty as the titular character Hello Kitty. She performed alongside the newly formed Hello Pro Egg group, S/mileage.

Also that year, the TBS drama Mano Spy began, in which Mano portrayed herself under the fictional premise that she's an undercover agent. She was sent to Japan as a spy for the Queen of England, and ends up passing an idol audition, so she has trouble with her espionage duties. The theme song of the show was "Matsuge no Saki ni Kimi ga Iru" from Mano's first album FRIENDS. The show began streaming on internet on January 26 and was broadcast on BS-TBS on February 27.
On April 20, she was in the BeeTV mobile drama DEATH GAME PARK.[6]

In regards to Mano Erina
She was the girl who joined up in May 2006 as a Hello Pro Egg. At first she was very unstable in dancing and singing, always hiding in the shadows of the other members she had the impression that she was soft and flexible. That’s the kind of girl she was, but when she started working as a member of the Ongaku Gatas, And with advice about how to build the sensitive muscles of her body for dance, her dancing ability had suddenly improved during the concert several months later. This was probably the results of the great efforts she put in while I wasn’t looking. At the time that’s what I thought, and from the record maker I heard them voice that they wanted to bring Mano up for a solo debut, and so they had chosen to graduate her from Ongaku Gatas and put her on the road to being a solo singer. And her indies work had given her the recognition for a major debut. Even in Hello!Project at the time she was a unique solo artist, I thought she must be lonely and really uneasy. But even then I felt that she was without complaints, a real positive girl. From her major debut in March of 2009, 3 years and 4 months have passed, at this time, we’re announcing that in 2013, after the New Year’s Hello in her own solo live, she will be graduating from Hello!Project. I think those of you who have seen this summer’s Hello already know this but, keeping in mind her current sense of rhythm, her performances have really improved. I feel that with her current high spirits, that it’s a really good thing for her to graduate from Hello!Project. It’ll be a good step to her next stage. After she graduates, I feel I want her to challenge herself steadily with acting, singing, and other new things. With the 7 months or so until her graduation, I want her to keep growing, graduating as a “Cool Mano Erina”, and afterwards introducing herself to everyone as the “New Mano Erina” she will become. Until then, everyone please, kindly support both Mano Erina and Hello!Project. July 21, 2012

Thank you for always supporting me.
I, Mano Erina, with the 2013 New Year’s Hello! Project Concert and the February 23rd planned solo concert in Nakano Sun Plaza, am graduating from Hello! Project. Since the beginning of this year, Tsunku and the staff and I have continuously talked about my work from here on. From here on, I want to do my best in order to pursue my own potential and to broaden my abilities in singing and acting beyond what I have now. It’s been about 4 years since I started my solo work, compared with the history of Hello!Project that’s really very little but, I’ve gained all kinds of experience. I’ve gotten to join Hello!Project, which was my dream, I got to have a solo debut, and there has been happiness, fun, and sometimes even frustration. In order to head toward my dreams and goals, I want to take it into my own hands, and be determined to challenge myself more than I have before. And I’d be happy if you continue to watch over me, Mano Erina, the same as always. From this point forward please continue to support me. |
