Since nobody has made a Miliyah thread I thought I would. I love Miliyah aka Mili. She is definetly someone to look out for in the j-music industry.

However, she doesn't look full Japanese to me. Is she? Or is she just half?

I remember liking Lonely Girl. I'll listen to her next time :)

Updated the top post.
I posted the "Jounetsu" song for AyuGame.
And to answer Brittany's question no I think she's all japanese.
You can watch an interview with Miliyah and catch a sample of her new PV "Sotsugyou" Here

Sotsugyou debuted at #20 on Oricon. Not too bad since she was up against some BIG artist. I'm uploading the single to the Asian Media Download section right now! Remeber support Mili.

thanks for the rose album

I think the admins forgot to move this one to the Asian artist chat section.

Well it has been awhile since I've posted at AHS. But what a better way of starting back then a new Miliyah single^_^ Actually over at JPM we've been discussing it for awhile but for those who don't know Miliyah is releasing her 6th single "Last Summer" on July 19. It is a summery pop/r&b tune. The video was aired a few days ago and can be found on Youtube.

http://img362.imageshack.us/img362/2719/miliyah3nh.jpg
Tracks:
1. Last Summer
2. for so long
3. 24 HOURS feat. TWIGY
4. for so long PART II

I'm a fan of Miliyah's. I think she has a good message in the majority of her videos, especially "Lonely Girl".

"Last Summer" wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be, but it is better then some of her other urban tracks. I want something more refreshing like "Lonely Girl".

Lastly I love how she emphasizes individual and inner beauty in young girls and it doesn't come over as totally feminist either. But it's nice to see her doing pretty well in the Japanese music scene.

I love Mili.^So tru alot of her songs are very empowering. I finally listened to STAR a few weeks ago. I don't really like the song but I can really relate to the lyrics.

WOW! It has been awhile since I've updated this thread. I'll try to do better from now on^^

First, Miliyah released a song called "My Soul" on the new Death Note soundtrack. It's an upbeat pop/R&B song. I was able to get it thanks to kodakumi @ JPM. Hope U all enjoy it. DOWNLOAD "My Soul"

Second, Miliyah Kato's first single of 2007 will be entitled "Eyes on you". The song will be used as the theme song to "Bubble e Go!! Time Machine wa Drum Shiki" and expected to be a catchy Valentine's day tune. A B-side is also expected.

Third, it was not annouced here but Miliyah released her 7th single "I Will" back in September. It was a ballad used for the movie "Otoshimono".

1. I WILL
2. So goood
3. ミシェル～愛のテーマ Remix～
4. I WILL～INSTRUMENTAL～

The cover of "Eyes on you" has been revealed.

http://miliyah.com/img/banner_img_CD.jpg

The intro of her official site (http://www.miliyah.com/) has been updated with a preview of "Eyes on you". It's a light pop disco inspired song.

That cover is fierce.
I liked the clip of the song.

According to fan-net Miliyah's 1st album will be out on March 7th. The title is "Diamond Princess".

Ah, Miliyah! I haven't heard her in forever...it's so hard to find her music it seems. I love Sotsugyou...and it has an amazing PV.

I heard "My Soul" yesterday on the DEATH NOTE Last Name Tribute Album and I really liked it - my first Miliyah song

^Glad U like the song. Miliyah is a great artist. If your interested in more of her music try her album "Rose" or her last 3 singles "Sotsugyou", "Last Summer", and "I Will". I'll try 2 upload some of her stuff here later^^

I hope she sells alot.

She's currently #5 on Oricon! Was #7 yesterday.

I don't know if you know this but Miliyah has a song with Reggae Disco Rockers on US iTunes.

Yeah I heard about it over @ jpopmusic.com it's a pretty nice track^^

I really like this album! Lots of repeat songs, but the new tracks are great as well. Definitely one I'll look into buying in the future.

Thanx 4 the feedback. I'm buying the album so I definitly hope it's good^^

So I downloaded this to try her out, since I'd never heard her songs but read about her before in Oricon Style. I've listened to about half the album so far, and I absolutely love every track. I highly recommend it ^_^ I'm sure I'll love the rest of the songs as well. =)

Glad U like the songs! Always love to hear from new Mili fans^^

I just heard 'kono mama zutto asa made'...and I LOVE it! She kicks the original's ass. xD Downloading Diamond Princess now~

Here's an update on the sales of her latest album, Diamond Princess!

Week 1:#05 - 41,371
Week 2:#14 - 17,652
Week 3:#24 - 9,006
Total sales: 68,029 copies

Yay! Let's hope it breaks 75k ~

Her new single "Love is..." is online, and boy is it good!!

The title track is a lovely ballad..and the b-side is good too! Kono mama zutto asa made was okay, but I really wanted new material, which we got with "Ms. Jealousy," and I really like the sound of it! (It's been stuck in my head all day) I hope you guys will listen to it and support her new release! Looks like the start of a great new album as well.

Here's the romaji for Love is... (credit @ me)

Love is...

Kanashimi wo kakaete
Mou nanimo mienakute
Ikiru imi shiritai
Watashi wa koko ni iru

Igamiai kizutsukeai
Mogaite nando onaji you ni

*Love is...this ima chikau yo

Kono hi wo matteta matteta no
If you make a promise baby yeah yeah yeah

*Repeat X 2

I'll work on the Ms. Jealousy romaji now, post them soon guys!

...and here's the romaji for Ms. Jealousy! (Credit @ me)

Ms. Jealousy

Nanto iwarete mo kawaranai

Nando demo call U tsunagaru made

Thanks so much for the lyrics^^ Sorry I haven't updated the thread in awhile. "Love is..." is only her 2nd single since the release of her 2nd album "Diamond Princess". The first was entitled "My Girl" featuring R&B group COLOR. As the title suggests it's a cover of the temptations hit song.

Thanks for that! I didn't pick up the "My Girl" single...I wonder how it is, it only reached 29 on the charts, but who knows it could be really good..

"My Girl" is pretty bad in my opinion the b-sides are MUCH better. Something about it is just too cheesy.

I hate it when they sing songs completely in English and can't pronounce half the words...

From the "My Girl" single, my favorite song is "Better days -sweet love side-" I really like that song, if it had been the A-side, I think it would have done much better...

^Yeah I totally agree with you. "My Girl" is one of Miliyah's lowest selling singles.

New Miliyah single!

YAY! And also I read that she will be featured on ZEEBRA's new album...

Go Miliyah!

love miliyah! they don't have her CDs on yesasia though ¬_¬

"Sotsugyou" and "Beautiful" are probably my favs. and "Cry no more". and "Yozora". XD <3

Better Day -sweet love side-
Because of U
and
Ms.jealousy

ARE SO AMAZING!!

Better Day -sweet love side-

I completely agree! Sometimes her b-sides are amazing...should have been the A-side...

Glad to see this thread bumped. Sorry I've been really lazy with updating this thread-_- I still love Mili! Anyways, she has a single coming out tomorrow^^ The information is below.

Thanks for following up on my update! I am very excited her new single is coming out, I've been patiently awaiting it. =]

ooooo excitement! seriously though, why haven't yesasia got her CDs? I searched for "Miliyah Kato" and "Kato Miliyah" and still nothing...... :weep

Oh, didn't know there was a Miliyah thread here! I love so much this girl <3
LALALA is a gorgeous song, maybe a bit too long though and FUTURECHECKA is pretty nice for a collaboration.
I can't wait to hear honey

Try with "Miriya Kato" ^^

YAY! found them! thanks much! :D

MIRIYA
??

LOOOL

Is LALALA leaked? Or someone has a PV Rips?

Thanks for all those videos Foxxy Fuyumi!!

LALALA debuts at #7 today! I'm glad for her =3

No it's not leaked yet =(
But here are PVs rips :)
LALALA
FUTURECHECKA

thanks! someone should have leaked it by now. it was released ... 7 days ago?

No it came out yesterday in Japan. Congratulations on her #7 spot:yes

I see. oh well. good position. I should get her stuff now that I found it on yesasia D"-

'FUTURECHECKA' is sooo good. 'LALALA' is a bit long, but I love it! Still not as good as the 'Love is...' single though. :]

Love is...was a great song, and single. =] I like her ballad-type songs.

LALALA would be so much better without the bad rap =\

LALALA would be so much better without the bad rap =\

^ Are you two like, twins?

Haha I wish >.< How cool would that be?!

Anyway, as for the LALALA single, I really like both main tracks. To be honest, I haven't listened to honey yet. I shall return with a judgement call! =]

Yeah we should be twins Kaiou^^

"honey" is the best song on the single in my opinion. Her b-sides are usually always good.

Her b-sides always rock. I want an album of just b-sides...=] She could call it something like "B Real: The other side of Miliyah" XD

Okay Nanako, we are now twins! I'm sure we look quite alike X_X

:D I could really see that.

I just listened to honey...and I love it, as I love all her b-sides. =]

LALALA single update...

This week the single ranked in at #75 and sold 2,000 copies, bringing the total to 42,254. This makes it Miliyah's 4th best selling single (out of 11 total), and of course, it's her highest ranking single!

Go Miliyah!

^ For a second there you really scared me. You made me think LALALA debuted at #75. o_o

Yay for sucess!

According to fan-net, Miliyah will be releasing her 12th single on February 6th. It is speculated to be titled "Pretty Woman".

Yay!!! I hope it's as successful as her last single...

Does this mean a spring time album? Maybe April release? =]
