Browse piano sheets by Yuko Ando on Zen Virtual Piano. As a child in Kanagawa Prefecture, music was never a special hobby for Andō, who was more interested in drawing. During her junior year at Ferris University she passed an audition for a play that required her to sing on stage, and one of the evaluators was Sōkō Koike, founder of the Oricon music charts. On his recommendation she decided to pursue a career as a singer-songwriter. A girl who liked drawing and ended up singing on a stage because of one audition shows how a career can turn on a single room. Director Tsutsumi decided he had to use her demo as the ending theme of 2LDK, the film he was then directing, as soon as he heard it. In July 2003 she debuted under the Avex-owned sub-label Cutting Edge with the mini album Sally. Her second full album, Merry Andrew, reached the Top 10, driven by a song based on a poem her grandmother wrote on the loss of her husband. A demo that a film director wanted and a poem from her grandmother both point toward songs that began in personal material. She writes lyrics and composes melodies, records them a cappella and passes them to Ryūji Yamamoto, who arranges all her songs; this is her recording process. Like many singer-songwriters, her greatest influence is Chara, whom she first discovered through a friend in high school, and she has started composing and writing for other artists such as Yui Aragaki and Hisayo Inamori. Many of her CD covers are drawn by her as well, and she is credited on them as Üchary Andrew. A voice recorded without accompaniment and then handed to an arranger sketches a division of labor, and the drawings on the covers return her to the first interest she mentioned. In 2020 the song Shock was chosen as the ending theme of the TV anime Attack on Titan The Final Season, and she released the single Shock on February 3, 2021. She was cast as the heroine in the 2014 film Budō no Namida starring Yō Ōizumi, appeared in Iwai Shunji's 2023 film Kyrie, and launched her own label, AND DO RECORD, in 2023. An anime theme, film roles and a label of her own show a career that kept adding places to work.
