Early life and career
Hayami was born on May 29, 1991 in Tokyo, Japan as an only child.[5] Hayami became interested in voice acting while attending elementary school. In 2004, she attended junior class of Nihon Narration Engi Kenkyūjo, a voice acting training school. Her career began when she passed an audition for I'm Enterprise in 2006, at the end of her second year in training school. Her voice acting debut was in the Indian Summer drama CD. In 2007, she made her anime debut and landed her first major role as Momoka Kawakabe, the main heroine in Touka Gettan. Since then, she has been active in voicing many other characters in anime-related media and other voice acting works.[6] She placed #2 in 2015 Newtype x Machi Asobi Anime Awards for Best Voice Actress, while her character Yukino Yukinoshita won Best Female Character Award.[7][8] Since 2011, she has hosted her own radio show, Hayami Saori no Free Style, which won Best Comfort Radio in general category at 3rd Aniradi Awards in 2017.[9] Hayami attended the School of Human Sciences at Waseda University.[10]
Hayami is known for her singing mainly through her work performing anime and character theme songs, such as Kaede Takagaki in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls franchise. Her debut single, "Yasashii Kibou" (やさしい希望; lit. "Gentle Hopes"), was released on August 12, 2015, with her writing the lyrics for all the songs in the single. The title song was used as the opening theme for the anime television series Snow White with the Red Hair, in which she voiced Shirayuki.[3] Her second single, the double A-side single "Installation/Sono Koe ga Chizu ni Naru" (その声が地図になる; lit. "The Voice Will Become A Map"), was released on February 3, 2015, with her taking part in writing and composing both songs. The song "Sono Koe ga Chizu ni Naru" was used as the opening theme for the second season of Snow White with the Red Hair.[11] Her first album, Live Love Laugh, was released on May 25, 2016.[12] She then released a mini album live for LIVE bundled Limited Edition Live Blu-ray/DVD and CD from her first Japanese concert tour, Live Love Laugh, on December 21, 2016.[13]
