She is well-known as a great vocalist and has recorded many soundtracks.
Here is a sample of her work:

・Anime: "Kabaneri of Iron Castle", "Giant of Advance(Attack on Titan)", "Gundam UC", "Aldonoa Zero", etc. •
・CM: UCC full throttle •

As she went through tough years of an independent artist, she continued and established her private label “miccabose”.
You might have already seen “Meikyuiri”. One of my popular songs “Meikyuiri-unsolved” music video was originally filmed by Mr. Nagayoshi at Sazaedo in Aizu-Wakamatsu. Mr. Nagayoshi used reverse play or one-cut technique and made the video look gorgeous. I’m really happy with his work.
Next, I wanted to film the Italian version in Florence, where I visit every year for past 8 years. Beautiful Cathedral Duomo that sits right in the center of Florence. There are so many tourists who visit there every year. And guess what! We get to film our movie there!!
I’m so grateful for all my friends who always support me in Italy, and those who introduced me to these wonderful people. I cannot thank you enough! I’m so happy!!
“Miekyuiri – unsolved” was born through the inspiration I got while I was in Duomo. (details can be found in the self liner notes, which you can receive from one of the rewards below.)
I was dreaming about shooting my video there and to share it with the people of Italy. And guess what? They made it happen.
I’m forever grateful. You should verbalize your dream and your dream may come true!
Miriam and Daniele are photographers and web producers.
I met them 7 years ago and I have been working with them since. They shot many of my live performances and stills.
These 2 have amazing work that is rich in design and have high quality focusing. They capture the emotion of their subject.
Our casual shot after shooting: …
No worries. They really are great photographers.
Many of my album jackets and other photos are their work.
To persuade them to work on this MV Shooting project.
It is interesting that the photographers are from Italy while the music artist is from Japan. I’m so excited to see the final work.

○Dear all,
I have gone through a tough life, and I still am going through tough life while establishing the label, “miccabose”. This is my 2nd round of crowd funding. With your great support, everything went well last time and I very much thank you for it. Will this time go well? I’m still skeptical.
But I put my great effort in the work and to pursue the highest quality. This is my true and unchanging spirit and I want you to trust me on that.
I’ve gone through a tough life and I’ve learned a lot. (but I do think it is still tough…) Anyway, thank you so much for your wonderful support!
