Childhood and career Soma started drumming at age 2 and performing in concerts at age 4. At age 6 during her kindergarten years, she released her first music CD. Soma and her family have discussed how Japan and its traditional school system has been stifling to her music career and aspirations, preventing her from playing drums during her school life because of her higher skill level than the other students. She also spoke out against the idea of collectivism in Japan that prevents individuality and the idea of any individual person standing out as unique.

Performances When she was 8, she appeared as the youngest performer ever recorded at the Rising Sun Rock Festival and later at Summer Sonic Festival on the stage reserved for Fall Out Boy. She went on to be a guest drummer for Cyndi Lauper on her last tour day at the Tokyo Orchard Hall. She has appeared twice on the American television talk show Ellen and in advertisements for sports apparel maker Nike, Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler and Japanese casual wear designer Uniqlo. Her online videos have been viewed over 70 million times. In July 2025, Jack Black covered "Mr. Crowley" in a pre-recorded performance for Ozzy Osbourne's and Black Sabbath's farewell concert Back to the Beginning which featured Soma alongside Roman Morello (son of Tom Morello), Revel Young Ian (son of Scott Ian), and Hugo Weiss.
