About mihimaru GT

Today,I introduce mihimaru GT to you.

On January 2003,hiroko,who has been active to be a vocalist,and miyake,who has provided many famous artists with compositions,met and formed mihimaru GT.They took the first two letters in their first name and adding "maru", or "perfection", to the end of it, as well as the initials for Miyake's favorite video game,Gran Turismo.


Unlike many other groups, mihimaru GT will often record songs featuring only one of their members, though because of each members' background, they are both involved with every song in some way. Hiroko is usually responsible for the main melody of the song, whereas Miyake is featured in the rap that may appear in a song. The band is known for its urban and pop-oriented songs, as well as slow ballad oriented songs.
When I listened their songs for the first time,I thought that I should know them earlier.Their songs are very good.
I'm going to introduce their songs in coming articles.

About Otsuka Ai 4



Otsuka Ai's song I introduce to you today is Rennaisyashinn,恋愛写真.This song is in 13th single CD.This song is about a broken heart.In this song,the most important phrase is "ただ、君を愛してる","All I do for you is to love you."



A couple consider each other for a long time.Then,they wear a mask and they can't tell each other what they want to say.You should not want a special consideration and should be satisfied with loving each other simply as they love each other when they started to go together.

Renaisyashin is a picture taken when a couple started to go together.It shows real happiness.I wish that real happiness would remain.

I want to take such a picture.

About Otsuka Ai 3






Otsuka Ai's song I introduce to you yoday is Happy Days.This song is in 4th single CD.This is a song with an upbeat tempo.


Otsuka Ai usually songs about love.But this song means that we want to be able to feel small happiness.I think that a strong point of Otsuka Ai's songs is her using simple but deep words.


This song is always sung at concerts.At concerts,Otsuka Ai does not only sing but also plays piano and violine.In this song,a piano and a violine are not used but she uses a megaphone instead of a microphone.I was surprised when I saw her use a megaphone for the first time.

At a recent concert,because songs are with simple dance composition,an audience can make positive efforts to join a concert.So concerts are more exciting than before.

I haven't joined a concert.I want to.

About Otsuka Ai 2


Otsuka Ai's song which I introduce to you is Puranetariumu,a planetarium.This song was used as the closing theme music of a television drama.The television drama is Hanayoridanngo,花より男子.I think that this song match this television drama.


In this television drama,a son of a noble family who go to a prestige private high school and like to boss people around the school has fallen for a girl who is strong-minded and sophisticated,but sensitive person. But he couldn't tell her his feelings because he thought that he had a different upbringing from her and he didn't match her.Bt then,through fortune telling,he found that she share the same star.And he watched the star with her and told her his feelings. So he could get along with her thanks to the star.


In this sond,through watching the star which a girl watched with a boyfriend,whom she can't meet now,she considers him.But,because she can't meet him,she worry about whether their feelings remain or not. Otsuka Ai sings so.


In this way,this song means an unstable of love.This melody matchs words.This song is one of the songs I like the most.

About Otsuka Ai

My favorite singer-songwriter is Otsuka Ai.

One of the most famous songs of hers is SAKURANNBO.

This song have made her famous and popular all over Japan.



She tells listener that she wish feelimgs of people who love each other would remain.
The title SAKURANNBO express so.

Sakurannbo is cherrys.

Two cherrys are connected with two stems.

In the same way,a person you love beside you would keep being beside you forever,Ai think.
This song is a song with an upbeat tempo,but it is put such a feeling into.
I want you to listen this song!
I am sure that you get to like this song and Otsukaai.
A person beside me.....I want my girl friend!
