♦ sarah's note → In discovering miimi I maintain my pro-downloading argument. There is something about discovering a band that is just starting out and you would otherwise never had learned of without the aid of the internet. When I discovered miimi I fell immediately in love with them like I've only ever done once before. I rant and rave about artists I love but in truth there's about a handful that I would literally risk my life for and miimi is one of those.

How to describe miimi's music without melting into fangirl mode is another arduous task for me. miimi's music as a whole relies on the shoegaze genre which results in a very full rock sound. Shoegaze itself couples significant use of guitar to create a short of "noise" type sound. miimi, however, uses this to create beautiful melodies and is matched by Yuko's vocals. Yuko's voice has an untamed feeling to it but it messes beautifully with the music and she can use it powerfully sometimes giving their music an ethereal sound.

When I listen to miimi I am to get inspired no matter what the song. Their music allows for such a free range of emotions to come through and you can't help but get addicted to them. I once bravely emailed them asking if any more copies of "Tsuki no Hikari" existed and was pleasantly surprised when I got an email from Ken, the drummist, in fairly good English. Despite I could no longer get a copy of "Tsuki no Hikari" I was excited the band could and did communicate with me.

So to say I recommend miimi would probably be redundant at this point. I honestly implore you that if you like what you hear please purchase their mini-album "ephyra". They haven't released anything since it and while they are still performing I hope they will be able to see that they have fans who want new material from them.

Note: Their singles are not new material but more like demo versions.
