While Aoi Teshima went to C&S music academy in Fukuoka, she began a music career as an amateur in 2003.[citation needed] In 2003 and 2004, she participated in a musical event 'DIVA', which was held in Fukuoka, as part of a 'Teen's Music Festival'.
In March 2005, she acted in 'Japan-Korea slow music's world' in South Korea and her performance was favorably received among the audience. Her performance attracted the attention of anime director Gorō Miyazaki. Toshio Suzuki was also very impressed when he listened to her demo version of Bette Midler's 'The Rose'
On June 7, 2006, she finally released a song called 'Therru's Song' (テルーの唄 Terū no Uta?). This song was used in a film directed by Gorō Miyazaki, Tales from Earthsea, in which she also voices the character Theru.
She was featured singing for two songs of a Nintendo Wii game, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon. The first song is called 'Light' (光 Hikari?), while the ending one is titled 'Warmth of the Moon' (月のぬくもり Tsuki no Nukumori?).[citation needed]
She once again collaborated with Gorō Miyazaki on his second feature From up on Poppy Hill (2011), singing Summer of Goodbye, the main theme of the movie and other songs in the film, as well as voicing the character Yuko.
On February 10, 2016, she released the first single from her 10th album 'Ren'dez-vous', 'Asu e no Tegami'. This song was used in Japanese drama 'Itsuka kono Koi o Omoidashite kitto Naite shimau' and charted at top on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart.
