Maybe kinda late to create this thread or already create by another person,btw
actually , i really addict with her song en her style before i know YUI.
her song so easy to listen ,"New Day" bring me to know en like her ,en also become my fav song, also like all song in her first album.

recommended her first album "Say It's Forever":thumbsup:
her song "In The Sky" also become theme song for Grandia 3 (Play Station 2) there are two version for this song (Japanese en English)

I have just one word for Miz...Incredible! Miz’s songs are absolutely amazing. Her music has a real good rock feel to it and she puts a lot of emotion into her vocals. Another plus about Miz is that she can sing in English, not Engrish! Although Miz is fairly new, her work is brilliant.

en also she gonna release her new single in July 2007, can't wait to hear :) btw, her new cover

Profile

Miz is a new singer that started in 2003. She was first found by a Swedish music publisher who was searching for artists in Japan. She was flown off to Sweden to study and practice accompianments. Immediately producers recognized Miz for her star talent. Miz debuted in Sweden with the single New Day. She then released the same single in Japan. She now has several works out and released a English album! Miz hopes to spread her music to several other countries.

Biography

At a very young age, Miz has expressed a great interest and talent in music. She always wanted to become one of the singers she hears on the radio, but living in such a rural area as Hokkaidō, there were very few opportunities for her. One of Miz's biggest hobbies during her high school years was going to a local beauty salon. And since she was a regular customer, she had become very good friends with the salon manager.

It was at that time when there was an idol audition being held, and posters were being put up in over 20,000 beauty salons all over Japan. Miz had kept looking over the poster, and the salon manager realized this. So she decided to suggest that Miz enter the contest. Hundreds of people competed, but in the end, Miz was the winner.

Immediately postponing her other plans in life, she decided to chase after her musical dreams. After graduating high school, she moved to Tokyo and soon after that, she was signed under Universal Victor. Under a stage name, Mizuki Watanabe, she released I WILL, her debut single. Following that, she also released another single called Ambition, but she wasn't asked to release anything else after that. Both singles are now out of print in most Japanese CD stores.

After the release of Ambition, her brief career ended. However, she would not give up. She kept taking singing lessons at a studio, and eventually made a demo tape with the help of a writer. Soon, she was introduced to a producer named Tord Backstrom.

Tord Backstrom was looking for someone to perform a song written by a Swedish writer and upon searching, he found Miz. Immediately, he knew Miz had what it took to become a star. In the year 2003, Miz was on her way to Sweden to meet her creative team. They were very surprised once they met her, and they weren't even sure whether she was Japanese or not. This was because she spoke English very well, better than most common Japanese people, and she liked to give hugs (normally, Japanese women like to keep to their own space)!

First, they had planned to release some music in Sweden. Her Swedish debut single, Waiting, hit charts soon after and debuted at #8. Soon enough, an album was also released. Story Untold emerged on the scene on September 22, 2004 and contains 10 all-English songs.

By that time, she had also released some other music. Her Japanese re-debut single New Day came out that same year. At that time, most of the biggest names in J-Pop were high-pitched, nasally singers. This was not the case for Miz. She was a fresh new face re-appearing in Japan, and people fell in love with her rich, strong voice. New Day debuted at #20 on Oricon charts. To promote her first Japanese album, Say It's Forever, Miz was invited to a Channel V-hosted concert in Taiwan along with other local and foreign artists, she performed 3 songs, New Day, Waiting for, and Say It's Forever. Also, she attended a show AIUEO to gain more publicity in her short visit, the host was apparently her friend before she made her major debut in Japan. She became one of the most popular Japanese artists in Taiwan that year.

Since that day, Miz has been steadily releasing her music up to today. She writes most of her original Japanese lyrics, and is becoming quite fluent in English, that pretty soon she could be writing her own English songs also.

After releasing her second album Mizrock in February 2006, Miz disappeared for a long while. In May 2007, however, her official website was updated with news of a new release coming in July. Other websites such as ORICON and Tower Records confirmed this news, listing a mini-album titled Best Friend to be released under the name "Mizrock." It is also with this album that Miz moved from Victor Interactive to Nayutawave Records.

Troglodyte with a change of heart.

I was watching Romeo X Juliet and at the end of episode 15 there was a new ending song. The singer's voice sounded quite unique so I checked it up. I found out the singer was Miz and the ending theme was called "Good Bye, Yesterday". Seems like I will give her other songs a listen when it's time. Thanks kaenzi for posting up this artist!

I'm listening to In the Sky for the first time right now. It sounds nice. As you guys recommended.

EDIT: Wow! Bittersweet sounds awesome too. Guess I need to listen to Miz more.
