Sally Amaki was born on April 26, in Los Angeles, USA. Her nickname is "Tenchan". As a digital seiyuu idol in 22/7, Sally portrays Sakura Fujima via both voice acting and motion-capture physical acting.
Biography Sally's parents are both Japanese but met and married in America. Her mother looked up to Madonna when she was young so she came to America. Her father he left Japan not because he had a specific goal but rather he “wanted to see the world!” Eventually, Sally was born and they raised her in Los Angeles.
Sally first attended elementary school with many Asians and Asian-Americans, and talked with her classmates about anime like One Piece and Naruto. However, for Third grade, she transferred to a new school, and none of her new classmates liked anime. In order to fit in, she began watching American dramas even though she didn't really enjoy them. She also pretended that she couldn't speak Japanese and had no interest in Japan, even though her parents were Japanese. She was upset every Sunday because she dreaded having to return to school each week. She often stayed home and avoided attending class.
One day, a teacher wrote her a letter and told her that she liked the Sally who is happy as herself.
At home, she began watching Gintama and listened to Gintama seiyuu Tomokazu Sugita (杉田 智和) on the radio. From him, she learned what a seiyuu was, reigniting her interest in anime.
Sally began cosplaying and attending Los Angeles' anime convention, Anime Expo. She made friends with people who liked her cosplay and shared her interests.
With new-found confidence, Sally decided to seriously pursue her dream of becoming a seiyuu. She wanted to move to Japan and study voice acting. One of her teachers told her to follow her dreams, but her parents would not allow her, and her elder brother was also opposed. Undeterred, she made her own money by making study materials for tests and selling them.
Sally moved to Japan in 2016 by herself and auditioned for various roles, but she couldn’t speak Japanese perfectly at first and failed auditions because she could not use honorifics properly.[3] At first, she felt really down and thought she was going to fail, but one day she had a change of heart and decided that if she was going to fail anyway, she at least wanted give everything a shot first.[4] In her auditions she was told that her photos were really plain, so she decided to include her cosplay photos when she applied for the 22/7 audition. She also spent about 2 months properly studying Japanese before auditioning for 22/7.
The second stage of auditions was singing. Sally was the final person to sing in her group. Her peers had introduced themselves in a cute voice and sang in a cute voice as well. Sally decided that she would introduce herself in a cute voice, and then intentionally lower her voice, and sing with a deeper, boyish voice. She wanted to appeal with the gap and also to show off her voice range given that the role was also for voice acting.
The third stage of auditions was dancing. Although she could rely on her athleticism, she did not know the song she would dance to until the day before. When Sally found out the song, she realized she did not know the choreography. She tried to find a video, but all she could find was the song's music video, and it did not show the dancing. She wound up focusing on self-expression and energetic appeal instead of perfect choreography.
She advanced to the final stage. Sally thought she wouldn't advance, so she thought of just quitting during the SHOWROOM selection. Ultimately, she was ranked third place.
Before the final audition, she was told not to show up in makeup and without styling her hair. So she showed up with bed hair and no makeup. When she arrived, she noticed the other candidates were actually wearing makeup, which confused her and she thought they told the candidates not to wear any make up, but the other girls told her she was right, but they decided to wear some anyway.
Her career began on 24 December 2016 upon successfully passing 22/7 auditions and joining the unit.
On October 2, 2017, a fan tweeted a video of clips showing Sally briefly speaking English during her SHOWROOM live streams. The video demonstrated that she was more than simply fluent in English, it showed that she fluent in American culture. The tweet went viral, and was retweeted over 16,000 times. She obtained enough new English-speaking fans that she released an official statement.
