[do it again]

there isn't too much that i know, but i do know that their mom was a singer, and kumi said that whenever she watched her mom sing, she always wanted to be her.

i also read her father was really unsupportive and there was an instance where he threw a shoe at her when she wanted to go audition against his wishes.

she auditioned for morning musume but was rejected, and was signed by avex in 2000 when she was 18.

misono was a part of a really popular group called day after tomorrow in 2002, when kumi was flopping... then they disappeared and kumi had her huge boom in 2005.
