Trivia

She took and failed many auditions, in part due to her limited Japanese proficiency, until in December 2016, she successfully auditioned for Yasushi Akimoto's idol and anime girl group project, later named 22/7, despite her reluctance to become an idol in addition to voice actress.

As a fluent speaker of both English and Japanese, videos of her speaking in English has gone viral over social media. It is already rare for Japanese idols to speak native English, but Sally Amaki has created a storm of interest with her "gap" between her personality when she speaks in English and Japanese.

In Japanese, she gives the impression of a typical Japanese idol, whereas in English, she expresses her American-native side fully. In English, she has spoken out to fans about how much she misses the lack of "Taco Tuesday" and "Girl Scout Cookies", her love for memes, and the LGBT community in Japan.

She is a LA native.

She moved to Japan by herself to pursue a career in voice acting as she felt that anime brought a positive influence on her life and wanted to contribute back.

Both of Amaki's parents are Japanese who emigrated to Los Angeles and met and got married there, which makes her a second-generation Japanese American.

Prior to moving to Japan, Amaki had trained in ballet and ice skating, the latter with the late Olympic figure skater Denis Ten.
