MIRI

**MIRI** is a Japanese singer-songwriter and producer bursting onto the scene with her genre-blurring mix of introspective J-pop, glitchy electronic beats, and playful hip-hop swagger. Hailing from Osaka, she started self-releasing music in 2019, crafting DIY tracks like *"Poppin' Time"* and *"Who I Am"* that balance vulnerable lyrics about self-discovery with addictive, experimental production. MIRI’s 2023 single *"hiphop to nanottemo iidesuka"* (translating to *"Is It Okay to Call This Hiphop?"*) became a viral TikTok moment, showcasing her knack for merging cheeky humor with sharp social commentary. She’s become a cult favorite for her hands-on approach—writing, producing, and directing her own music videos—and her relatable, anime-influenced aesthetic.
