Miwa (stylised as miwa) is a Japanese singer-songwriter. She debuted in 2010 with the single "don't cry anymore," used as the drama Nakanai to Kimeta Hi's theme song. miwa currently DJs a monthly radio show on All Night Nippon, miwa no All Night Nippon R (miwaのオールナイトニッポンR), every third Monday from 3:00am to 5:00am. But now, miwa currently DJs a weekly radio show replacing the monthly show since 2011 on All Night Nippon, miwa no All Night Nippon (miwaのオールナイトニッポン), every Tuesday from 1:00am to 3:00am.

miwa was born in Hayama, Kanagawa, however moved to Tokyo at a young age. Since her father had a great love for a music, miwa naturally began to enjoy music as she grew up. She began writing songs at 15. She started self-learning how to play the guitar after she entered high school, but gave up and paid for professional lessons after finding she could not make a lot of progress learning by herself. Her High School had a ban on students having part-time jobs. Despite this, she secretly worked, and eventually used these savings by her second year of high school to buy a Gibson J-45 guitar. After this, she played live concerts mostly around Shimokitazawa in Tokyo and in Okinawa in the summer (her parents had a house there). Due to her high school also having a ban on students working in the entertainment business, she had to do these lives in secret (without even telling her school friends). In this time, Miwa released two self-published independent singles, "Song for You/Today" and "Soba ni Itai Kara" in 2007 and 2008.

miwa was signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan during her third year of high school. She debuted as an artist in 2010, while attending Keio University. Her debut single, "don't cry anymore" was chosen to be used for the drama Nakanai to Kimeta Hi starring Eikura Nana. The single was a minor commercial success, breaking the top 20 on Oricon's single charts and being certified by the RIAJ as selling 100,000 full length cellphone downloads a month after its release. In April 2010, the song won the award for best drama theme song at the 64th The Television Drama Academy Awards, beating out songs such as Arashi's "Troublemaker" and Mr. Children's "Hanabi."

miwa considers her favourite Western musicians to be Sheryl Crow, Deep Purple, Carole King, Avril Lavigne and Taylor Swift. Her favourite Japanese musicians are aiko, Angela Aki, Radwimps and YUKI.

Yoake 9th February 2012 07:31 PM

I just saw the CDJ mail about her new album. I don't really like the title. Guitarissimo sounds nice but guitarium sound so boring to me!

HTMSD 10th February 2012 12:11 AM

guitarium limited is #1 on tower.jp and #4 on HMV Japan
#15 music overall and #8 Jpop on amazon Japan.

Just 2 days after announcement of the preorder. Yet guitarissimo limited need to be #1 on many sales chart, just a week before the release date, lol.

I hope she's doing well this time!!
There's no way to defeat SKE48 on chart, but if there's miracle, there'll be!

mellody 10th February 2012 02:16 AM

^ SDN48, not SKE lol.

So, here's my thought on "guitarium" :

I've been reading lots of sources regarding this title, not sure if miwa pointed it out too on her latest radio show. guitarium based on guitarhythm, in Japanese it's called "guitarizumu" and why she changed it to guitarium, it's because simplicity thing, or easier-to-remember, cute name, and such, we never know what's inside (this little) girl's mind.

On the other note, guitarhythm basically means rhythm guitar, it can makes a lot of harmony on musical genre, such as pop, rock, jazz, and so on. As a result, we got a song like 441, FRiDAY-MA-MAGiC, Kataomoi, and even Ikutsu ni Natte mo, all of them has different sound and style, so we can expect multiple and variety of genre in this album.

I don't understand musical terms, so I just wrote what I understand, btw.

Anyway, that title may sounds creative in many way, but still, as for me it's a lame name.

HTMSD 10th February 2012 03:24 AM

I still thinking that guitarium is guitar and aquarium XDD

Bigtop 10th February 2012 05:23 PM

Well, we have to also be aware that GACKT will be releasing a new album on 3/14 as well...

lanfix 11th February 2012 05:39 PM

MSta performance from yesterday


PoetGirl 11th February 2012 11:30 PM

I dont want her to quit music, I fell in love with her with new single. She can't do that. I love her cute voice!! I loved that performance. Perfect! She's so pretty.

Okay, hang on a second...ALL B-SIDES INCLUDED!? BUT FUTARI NO SATURDAY?!?!?!

OogoeDiamond 14th February 2012 06:02 AM

^ to be specific only one since hajmimari have new version and there is no Clair de la lune

HTMSD 14th February 2012 06:14 AM

As leaked on tower records website, here it is, the disappointing tracklist!!

1. いくつになっても (Ikutsu ni Natte Mo) 4:43
2. 441 4:06
3. ふたりのサタディ (futari no SATURDAY) 4:35
4. 片想い (Kataomoi) 5:48
5. againxagain 4:31
6. jexxxa 4:32
7. またね (Mata ne) 5:48
8. コットンの季節 (COTTON no Kisetsu) 4:28
9. Chasing hearts 4:36
10. メリーゴーランド (MERRY GO ROUND) 5:17
11. クレアデルネ (CLAIR DE LUNE) 4:26
12. take@chance 4:30
13. FRiDAY-MA-MAGiC 4:22
14. 始まりは終わりじゃない <endress version> (Hajimari wa Owari Jyanai ) 5:49

We only get 7 new tracks, 1 new mix, 2 tracks that released on chaku-uta, 3 A-Side tracks already released in single, and 3 B-Side tracks already released in single. Quite a disappointment according to her previous album that most of them are new tracks.

But, according to miwa blog, she's still recording new tracks. Perhaps the final tracklists will be changed. Hope so...

http://i2.lulzimg.com/a6c270e1f9.jpg

PoetGirl 14th February 2012 07:07 AM

lol, Im glad again I just bumped in, I didnt hear previous singles so album will be all fresh and new for me.

Bigtop 14th February 2012 08:23 AM

Well, at least the potential of Futari no Saturday in this album is quite certain...

adantatu2 14th February 2012 07:17 PM

since i don't buy singles, i think the tracklist is ok for me !
7 songs are a lot, now i can't wait for the covers =)

mellody 20th February 2012 03:27 AM

Not really disappointing for me, 7 new tracks are quite many, plus remix even though it seems like we got a weird flow for the album. (Futari no Saturday to Kataomoi?)

Also, most of the titles seems very interesting, againxagain, jexxxa, take@chance, lol, what a normal university student. What the hell is endress version btw?

Can't wait for the covers and DVD content!

EDITED:
HTMSD can rejoice, the whole info about that tracklist is removed everywhere, let's see how it will be changed.

lanfix 20th February 2012 03:57 AM

^ maybe it's typo and supposed to be 'endless'

by the way at first I misread it as 'undress' version =))
*don't kill me it's an honest mistake*

Bigtop 20th February 2012 05:33 AM

Oh... I did not know that the tracklist information was too premature to post or somehow...

mellody 20th February 2012 11:35 AM

Song with 'undress' version would be naked, so what is a naked song anyway? :laugh

I need covers first, tracklist doesn't matter, as long as not so many B-sides included.
