Information
Miyu has loved singing since she was a small child. By the time she entered the third grade she knew that she wanted to become a singer, and soon was enrolled in the child performing arts school Studio RunTime.
In 1997 she entered an audition to become a member of the Japanese pop group ZONE. She made it all the way to the final round, and becoming one of the four members. In 1998 the band made their indie debut with the single "believe in love".
It was until the bands fourth single, "secret base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~" that the band struck gold. Over the next five years the band had a string of hits and all became well known artists. During Miyu's time with ZONE she became an accomplished singer and learned how to a guitar. She even started writing lyrics, she wrote the lyrics to the bands final single "Egao Biyori" .
While still in ZONE Miyu released to solo singles "Just 4 your Luv" and "snowy love". Unlike her releases with ZONE the songs had more of Urban styled pop sound (much like BoA's early releases).
Miyu has recently started her career back up in 2006 when she joined Nagisa no All Stars's on the single, "Taiyo no Take Off / Kimi wa Boku no Aozora". She is also scheduled to release a new solo single in October of 2007.
