asuno was born in Kyoto Prefecture on July 9, 1989. About a week after she was born, her family moved to Hakodate, and after some time they moved to Miyagi Prefecture. From an early age, she had an interest in anime, particularly after watching Sailor Moon and Magic Knight Rayearth as a child. She became aware of voice acting at a young age, while watching the anime series Saint Tail. To further her interest, she watched videos of dubs being recorded.
During her sixth year of elementary school, Yasuno moved to Tokyo. In high school, she became part of her school's theater club. Although she had been looking for a voice acting school, her parents told her that they would allow her to pursue a voice acting career only if she paid with her own money. Around that time, the talent agency Avex was holding auditions for its voice acting school, so she decided to apply. She passed the audition and began attending voice acting school. She played a number of background roles in anime beginning in 2009, and in 2011 played her first lead role as Kizuna Todoroki, the protagonist of the anime Kizuna Ichigake, which was produced as part of the Young Animator Training Project.
Yasuno continued voicing primarily supporting roles until 2013, when she was cast as the character Sakura Kitaōji in the multimedia franchise Aikatsu! The following year, she played the roles of Tina Kobayakawa in Wake Up, Girls! and Yuko Tachikawa in Parasyte. In 2015, she was cast as Megumi Katō, the main heroine of the anime series Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend.[3] That year, she also voiced Kaori Murasaki in Triage X and Mayuko Inoue in Ushio and Tora.
In 2016, Yasuno became part of the musical unit Walküre, which performed songs in the anime series Macross Delta; she also played the role of Kaname Buccaneer in the series. She also played the roles of Cordelia Kasukami in Twin Star Exorcists, Botan Kumegawa in Anne Happy, and Gretel Jeckeln in Schwarzesmarken. In 2017, she released her first mini-album Namida (涙。) under the FlyingDog label; the mini-album includes the song "Chiisana Hitotsubu" (A Small Grain), which was used as the closing theme to the anime series Restaurant to Another World. She made appearances at Anime Festival Asia Singapore in November 2017 and C3 AFA Hong Kong in February 2018. She will be make an appearance at Anime North in Toronto in May 2018.

歩いてる
そんな気がした
たった一つの 願い事に
小さな奇跡が 絆にかわる
おかえり いつもの
笑顔を 待ってる
小さな 幸せ 感じられるような
安らぎ合える場所を 守って行こう
ずっと一人と 感じてたこと
思い出す 迷いながら
だからいつも 寒い時は
私が居るから
はぐれないように
ありがとう あなたが
となりに いるから
未来を 信じて 行けるのかな
涙が あふれて しまいそうな日も
そばにいてくれるんだね
包むように
ずっと ずっと いつもそばにいて
ずっと ずっと いつも「おかえり。」
The lyrics of 安野希世乃's song "おかえり。" evoke themes of companionship, nostalgia, and comfort. The singer reflects on the long journey they have been walking together with someone who has always quietly supported them. The mention of a small wish turning into a bond signifies the transformative power of simple moments shared with a loved one. This sentiment is captured in the repeated image of walking side by side, creating a sense of unity and understanding between the singer and the person they address in the song.
The chorus, with the phrase "おかえり" (welcome home), conveys a sense of warmth and familiarity, as if the singer is eagerly anticipating the return of a loved one who brings light into their life. The idea of becoming each other's guiding light and protecting a space where one can feel small joys and serenity emphasizes the importance of creating a safe haven in each other's presence. This reinforces the theme of mutual care and support that runs throughout the song.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotions of the singer, expressing a feeling of not wanting to be alone and finding comfort in the presence of the person they address. The reassurance that they will always be there to guide and support the other through difficult times highlights the strength of their bond. The lyrics evoke a sense of gratitude and belief in a future that can be faced with confidence and trust, even on days when tears threaten to overwhelm.
The repetition of "ずっと ずっと" (always, always) in the closing lines emphasizes the enduring nature of the connection between the singer and the person they are addressing. The phrase "いつも「おかえり。」" (always 'welcome home') encapsulates a cycle of return and reunion, suggesting a continuous exchange of care, love, and understanding. Overall, the song conveys a message of enduring companionship, gratitude for shared moments, and the comforting presence of a loved one in both joyful and challenging times.
