History

Formation and debut

In 2012, Harajuku models Amo and Ayamo were put together by DefStar Records to perform as a singing duo under the name Amoyamo. Their group name was a combination of both of their first names. The label enlisted former label-mate Tomoko Kawase to act as the girls' mentor and producer. Kawase had been a long-time musical inspiration for Amo and Ayamo. They released a pre-debut EP, Amoyamo, in August 2012 to gain publicity for the group. [1]

The group's debut single, "Let's Go Out", was released on October 31, 2012. The song was used as the twelfth opening song for the anime television Gin Tama . The single included a cover of "Pray" by Tommy heavenly6, which was the original Gin Tama opening. "Let's Go Out" debuted at number 23 on the Oricon singles chart. [2]

In 2013, the duo parted ways with mentor/producer Tomoko Kawase. Their next single "Live / Magic", a double a-side, was released March 27, 2013. The group announced their first studio album, Flash , to be released October 30, 2013.

End of duo

On March 14, 2014, the official website announced that Amoyamo would no longer be working together. [3]
