Abe started learning the piano from age three, and from junior high school she wanted to be a singer.
[3] After finishing high school, she moved to Tokyo and was signed to the record label Pony Canyon.
The third of these, "My Baby", was chosen as the October iTunes Single of the Week free download song.
The eponymous title track was released as a radio single, and did extremely well on radio stations: Abe reached #1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart, despite only the airplay component counting towards her ranking (as opposed to airplay and physical sales, like most other releases).
[5] The third, "Itsu no Hi mo", reached #2 on the Japan Hot 100 chart, a week before the physical release of the single.
