Music career Hasegawa auditioned for
AKB48's then-upcoming
Niigata-based sister group,
NGT48, having been fascinated with idols after she watched
AKB0048. After passing the audition for the group's first generation on July 25, 2015, at the opening show of NGT48's theater on January 10, 2016, she debuted as a regular member of the newly established Team NIII. As part of
NGT48, she subsequently made her major label debut on April 12, 2017, with the single "
Seishun Dokei." In 2018, Hasegawa appeared in the live-action film adaptation of the novel
Midnight Bus. Hasegawa was eliminated during the first round and finished at 71st place. In 2019, after Team G co-captain Yamaguchi Maho was forced by the NGT48 management to apologize for publicly alleging that
she was assaulted in December 2018, Hasegawa removed "NGT48" off her social media profiles to show support. The NGT48 management responded by merging Team NIII and Team G together into a "first generation" group, with their final performances as their original teams on April 21, 2019. During Team G's performance on April 21, Hasegawa, along with Sugahara Riko, announced her decision to graduate from NGT48 in solidarity with Yamaguchi. Hasegawa held a final performance with Yamaguchi and Sugahara on May 18, 2019.

Papier Mache Idol, released on October 7, 2020. This was later followed up in with yet another participation, announced in June 2020, in another cross-media project:
Denonbu, produced by
Bandai Namco. In it, Hasegawa plays the role of the character Shian Inubousaki. As a
Vtuber, ever since 2019 Hasegawa has been providing voice and
movements for the official
mascot of the
Daiei supermarket group, Mokkun, in the children educational videos published regularly on the mascot's YouTube channel. A native of
