In 2011, Machico participated in Horipro's 36th Talent Scout Caravan, but lost to Tadokoro Azusa (田所あずさ). However, she and several other finalists were offered a contract with Horipro. She made her music debut in 2012 and in October of the same year held her first solo concert at Rock Maykan.

MACHICO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
照らし出す お日さまと にらめっこ
今日も準備OK！
自転車 弾ませていこう★
寝ぼけたままで 出発進行！
ゆらり ゆらり ペダルを漕ぐ
そんなある日
AM８時ちょうどに発見！
ふわり ふわり 浮き立つ胸
もう釘付け
窓ガラスに もたれる君
肩を揺らしながら
笑ってたんだ そしてこっちを見たんだ
ココロが弾けた音で気付いた
これって もしかして 恋なの？ねぇ
わからない。 思考が停止寸前
ビビって 何かに打たれたみたい
この一瞬から
好きになってく
あの日からずっと 鏡と奮闘！
これも 違う ヘアスタイルが
もう決まんない
AM８時ちょうどに通過！
君の 姿を 見るだけで
幸せなの
気が付いたら ただ毎日
一瞬の繰り返し
君の見ている 世界に私も入れて！
君を乗せて 通り過ぎてゆく
この距離が もどかしいよ
ねぇ お願い
どんな声で笑うの？
知りたい！
ココロが 弾けた音で気付いた
これって 絶対に 恋なんです！
止まらない
跳ねる鼓動が導く
君と私 繋ぐ 一直線
始まってゆく
ラブ★ストリート
The song ラブ★スト by MACHICO tells the story of a girl who encounters a boy on her way riding her bicycle. From that moment on, she starts to develop feelings for him and finds herself thinking about him all the time. The lyrics describe how she struggles to understand what she is feeling and eventually realizes that she is in love. She tries different hairstyles to impress him and feels happy just by catching a glimpse of him during her daily routine.
The girl is enchanted by the boy's smile and laughter and wonders how he laughs. She finds it difficult to express her feelings and is nervous around him. However, her love for him keeps growing with each passing day, and she hopes that someday they will be together. The song's title, ラブ★スト, refers to the love street that the girl finds herself on after falling in love. The song is a fun and catchy J-Pop tune that captures the excitement and confusion of young love.
