Born in Niigata City, she entered the group in May 2013 together with Aiko Yamaide. Her route into Sakura Gakuin was unusual and central to her identity: before becoming a member, she had already followed the group as a genuine fan, or \u201cfukei.\u201d She transformed that knowledge into a distinctive public character, becoming known as a fan representative who understood the songs, personalities and traditions from both sides of the stage. Sakura Gakuin entrusted her with a self-produced birthday concert only months after her transfer. In 2014 she and Yunano Notsu established the Purchasing Club, a comic unit based on merchandise sales, audience communication and fast verbal exchanges. In her final school year she became Talk Chairperson and helped a radically expanded twelve-member lineup improve its MC work and group communication. She graduated with Rinon Isono and Saki Ooga in March 2016 and publicly chose to end entertainment activity in order to concentrate on high school and future university studies. Shirai later returned briefly to public view in a non-entertainment capacity as one of the 11th Niigata Tourism Goodwill Ambassadors. During the COVID-19 period she promoted her hometown through online content, ceremonies and local events from October 2020 through September 2021. She has not announced a performing comeback, a new agency or a continuing public career. Her confirmed later Sakura Gakuin connections include a January 2022 Instagram Live with Marina Horiuchi, a separate public conversation with Rinon and Ooga later that month, an in-person reunion with the same two graduates in October 2025, and a guest appearance with them before the audience at Ooga's April 2026 birthday fan meeting. As of August 30, 2026, the most accurate description is private individual, former Sakura Gakuin member and former Niigata Tourism Goodwill Ambassador who accepts occasional alumni appearances."}
