Nagae had dreamed of appearing on TV since childhood after becoming a fan of Disney works. She also developed an interest in music, and learned to play the piano at the age of five. Although she had heard about voice acting at an early age, it was not until she was in high school when she decided to pursue it as a career.[2]
While in high school, Nagae was a member of a band, serving as its vocalist and later its electric guitarist. She also attended a vocational school for voice acting, believing that pursuing that career would allow her to be herself.[2]
Nagae started her voice acting career in 2015 after a period of training, and became affiliated with the talent agency Aoni Production. In 2017 she played her first main role in an anime, voicing Baselard in the television series Frame Arms Girl; she was also among the show's cast members who performed its ending theme "Fullscratch Love".[3]
In 2018, Nagae was cast as the character Olivia in the anime series Asobi Asobase; she also performed the show's opening and ending themes together with her fellow cast members.[4][5] The following year she voiced Hinata Hoshino in Wataten!;[6] she and other cast members performed the series' opening and ending themes under the name Wataten Five.[7] In 2019, she was cast as the character Hayate Hisakawa in The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls: Starlight Stage.[1] She has been cast as Mitsuha Yamano in Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for My Retirement, which premiered in 2023.[8]
