The official mihimaru GT thread

Raleigh · #1 14th January 2007, 06:31 PM

I've discovered this group by accident at Channel-Ai and ended up downloading most of their videography and discography because I was really impressed at how good they were. Surprisingly I noticed that in the west their fanbase is quite small, which is a pity since their style is so funky and quite fun.

mihimaru GT is made up of Miyake [composer, lyricist, rapper] and Hiroko [vocalist, rapper, lyricist]. Their music is usually a blend of Hip-Hop and J-Pop, bordering J-Urban music but their style is more lighthearted. They also release classical ballads and tend to use familiar melodies mixed within their music which is quite interesting. I was pleasantly surprised to see the vocalist, Hiroko has such a soothing and melodious voice as I expected her to be more squeaky. Oddly enough they seem to be signed to Universal Music Japan and managed by Tearbridge Productions, a subsidiary of Stardust Promotion and Avex and so they're sort of under avex too, in a way. In fact they're often at a-nation.

Anyhow - they've recently gotten into the spotlight, especially with their single Kibun Joujou in 2006 which has led them to attend Kohaku for the first time and they were also featured in many special shows and award events like Music Station Super Live,CDTV Special, MTV Cool Christmas and Japan Record Taisho.

Upcoming Releases

Their upcoming single shall be a tie-in for the new Doraemon movie, "Shin Nobita no Makai Daiboken - 7nin no Mahotsukai." which will probably secure them a good ranking on Oricon. Also to be released is mihimaLIVE, their first ever concert recorded in December 2006.

To introduce you to them I highly suggest you watch these pvs since in my opinion they are their best.

So merry christmas -Take06-
YES
Kibun Joujou

I LOVE THEM. "kaerou ka" is, like, the BEST song ever.

And Hiroko's a cutie.

I fell in love with it too! Over Xmas time I had created a bunch of Xmas ringtones for my phone and that was my main ringtone!
