BACKGROUND:

An is the daughter of the popular former musician Shiraishi Ken, who now owns a popular live cafe & bar called WEEKEND GARAGE, where she sometimes worked until the end of On Your Feet. An hopes to one day surpass the legendary event he put on, called RAD WEEKEND. She has been surrounded by music ever since she was young, and began singing partially because she felt a natural connection to it, and partially because she wanted to be like her dad.[1] She has a lot of connections in the street music scene, due to being Ken's daughter.

When Kohane came back to WEEKEND GARAGE after hearing An sing there, An invited Kohane to form a group with her, calling themselves Vivids. After some rivalry and conflict, they join Akito and Toya of BAD DOGS to become Vivid BAD SQUAD, though she and Kohane are still active as Vivids.

In her first year, An was classmates with Mizuki in class 1-A. In her second year, she is classmates with Akito and Nene. She is a member of the disciplinary committee, joining because a friend from middle school kept bugging her to.[2]. She also occasionally helps out the basketball team by being a stand-in for them,[3] an interest she shares with her childhood friend Haruka.
