In February 2011, Happiness made their major debut with Kiss Me, and in April of that year, she joined the larger project E-girls (alongside Happiness members), expanding her reach through group singles, tours, and media appearances.

She served as an exclusive model for Nicola magazine (until 2013) and then JJ (from 2013 to 2021), appearing in fashion spreads and covers. In 2016, she formed the duo ShuuKaRen with her sister Shuuka, releasing music before the unit ended with Shuuka‘s retirement.

After Happiness disbanded in September 2023, she shifted focus to individual pursuits, including founding and serving as creative director of her apparel brand NEROLI (launched 2021), collaborations with brands like RIMMEL London and SAMANTHAVEGA, and ongoing modeling and acting work.
