Career
[edit]Pre-2010: Early life and initial debut

In 5th grade, inspired by Avril Lavigne, she started learning guitar.[5] Yamamoto initially debuted in the band MAD CATZ[6] in 2008 as their lead guitarist. The bassist of the band left in 2009, and the band disbanded altogether by the end of the year.[7]
2010–2012: Debut with NMB48
[edit]In September 2010, Sayaka Yamamoto passed auditions for the first generation of NMB48 and was selected to debut in the group along with 25 other girls. They were announced as a group on October 9, 2010,[8] and officially began performing at the NMB48 Theater on January 1, 2011. Yamamoto was also officially announced as captain of NMB48 on this day.[9]
On March 10, 2011, Yamamoto was selected as one of 16 members who would form Team N, of which she was selected to serve as captain alongside her captaincy of the entire group. Team N made their debut at the NMB48 Theater on March 21.[10] In May, Yamamoto and fellow Team N member Miyuki Watanabe were the first NMB48 members to be selected for an A-side senbatsu with the release of AKB48's 21st single "Everyday, Katyusha." Also in May, NMB48 revealed their first original song "Seishun no Lap Time" during a theater performance. It was centered by Yamamoto, and was released later as a B-side on the group's first single. On June 9, Yamamoto was the only member of NMB48 to rank in AKB48's 3rd general election. She placed 28th with 8,697 votes and as a result, sang on the B-side "Dakishimecha Ikenai" on AKB48's 22nd single "Flying Get." On July 20, NMB48 made their major CD debut with their first single "Zetsumetsu Kurokami Shoujo," for which Yamamoto was selected as a senbatsu member. She would go on to be a senbatsu member in all 19 NMB48 A-sides released during her time in the group, and the center for 13 of those singles. On October 19, NMB48 released their second single titled "Oh My God!", for which Yamamoto served as center with fellow Team N member Nana Yamada.

On October 26, Yamamoto participated in her second A-side senbatsu with AKB48 on their 23rd single "Kaze wa Fuiteiru."
Yamamoto was given her first solo A-side center on NMB48's third single "Junjou U-19," which was released on February 8, 2012.

This marked the first time Yamamoto served as a center for a B-side on an AKB48 single.

On February 24, 2014, it was announced that Yamamoto would hold a concurrent position in AKB48's Team K, coming into effect in May.[1] On February 26, Yamamoto participated in AKB48's 35th single "Mae Shika Mukanee" as a senbatsu member.

On February 10, 2015, Yamamoto released her second photobook titled "SY," which sold 42,779 in its first week of sales according to Oricon and topped the Oricon sales charts.[13] The high sales volume prompted a second printing of the gravure photobook.[14] On June 6, Yamamoto ranked 6th in AKB48's 7th general election with 97,866 votes, and participated as a senbatsu member on AKB48's 41st single "Halloween Night," as a result.

Musicality and influences
[edit]Since going solo, Sayaka Yamamoto composes and writes all her releases. The majority of her first two albums, released whilst she was still active in NMB48, consist of self-compositions as well. In addition to her own music, she also has composed for her former group, and provided background vocals for songs she participated in while in NMB48 and AKB48.[48] While her roots are in rock music, Yamamoto's own work encompasses a wide spectrum and is not limited to a specific genre nor defined by a particular label, as noted by columnists.[49][50] In her own words, she wants her music “to go beyond genres…so [she doesn’t] think about making a particular type of music” and creates what she wants to at the time.[51] Yamamoto often credits Takeshi Hosomi,[52][53] Avril Lavigne,[52] and yui[54] as her biggest musical inspirations and people she admires, among others.[54] Yamamoto also frequently collaborates with Takahiro Konagawa, who serves as bandleader of her backing band Team SY in addition to producing and arranging many of her songs. Other main collaborators and backing band members include Koji Kusakari, Shota Okuno, SATOKO, asami, and Ayasa. As a guitarist, Yamamoto currently uses a Gibson Custom True Historic '59 Les Paul and a Les Paul Traditional 2015 Japan Limited as her main electric guitars, and a Martin D-28 and a Martin D-15 Streetmaster as her main acoustic guitars.[55][56]
