Perspective
Ōmoto was born and raised in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, and attended Actor's School Hiroshima with friends and Perfume members Ayaka Nishiwaki and Yuka Kashino. [1][2][3]She was placed in the advanced class for singing, as she was always interested in singing. In a letter she wrote to her "Future Me" she recalled her singing teacher telling her if she just wanted to sing and dance because she loved it. Nishiwaki and Kashino were still in the beginner class at this time, meeting Ōmoto secretly.[6]
Before she became a member of Perfume, Nocchi was part of other idol groups such as "Happy Baby" (ハッピーベイビー, Happībeibī) and "La Ayanota" (ラ･アヤノータ, Ra ayanōta).[7]
