Summary

SANGO IKEDA, stage name CORAL. CORAL wears a pink shirt with black pants with a space themed top-hat with a pink scarf and headphones. CORAL is a female J-Pop/Western artist specializing in heartbreak and love. Her dad was Canadian, while her mom was Japanese, making her Japanese-Canadian. Growing up, she didn’t like her life. Her dad always scolded her, but her mom always comforted her, so there was often a lot of arguing in the house. In 5th grade, she met a friend, who only lasted for 5 weeks, then became distant. They still talk a little, but not as much as they first met. She almost always got perfect scores on all her assignments, and she took singing classes. Anytime she got, she would go to her local library to get manga to read at home, to drown out the arguing. She’d also use music, artists like Ado and YOASOBI. Her first thought for a job is to be a manga artist, that was why she took art for a little, then realized it wasn’t for her, so she switched to sing. When she was 16, she applied for an artist visa in Japan. At 17, she got it and proceeded to be an artist, called CORAL. YOASOBI even collaborated with her in her upcoming album. Back when she was a kid, she used to go to kobinis near her to get some snack and eat outside. It gave her a sense of calm and mediation at some times. During her time in school, she didn’t think she had the courage to be a singer, but she still tried.
