I think most people found out about them after Kibun Joujou, yes? saying hiroko looks like Yaguchi and whatnot. I heard about them when I was barely getting into JPop, but never looked them up. should've done so then.
K, so, talk about them and stuff.

yeah, i got into them with kibun jojo. saw them perform it on an ep of musicstation which i had DLed for other guiests. saw hiroko and was liek "wtf is yaguchi doing on MS?" seriously. chick looks like, acts like, sounds like mari.

theyre music is really nice blend of hip-hop and club-pop. i only have their album mihimalife plus recent singles, but i love their shit

They're popularity amazes me.

uploaded their new PVs

both great songs! Itsumademo Hibiku Kono melody is all about swing sampling the swing song In the Mood, and Magical Speaker is a great salsa/latin vibe dance track.
hiroko looking stunning in both

Yes! I love mihimaru GT! Been listening to them since they debuted. I've always thought the gal looks like Mari Yaguchi. They both look like eagles.
Well yeah they're great. Kinda reminds me of the happier version of MOVE. Their debut album was good. But was a bit dissapointed by their second.

I love mihimaru gt... I think i started to get into them when i heard
気分上々↑↑then i started to get addicted to their music. I even bought their mihimalife album. It's a great album... you gotta love hip-pop music!

Enayla · « **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2007, 07:47:20 PM »

It's odd that their fanbase in the west is so small. I've been hunting for their live performances with little luck.

Kira-sama · « **Reply #18 on:** January 15, 2007, 11:21:40 PM »

if anyone wants the Kibun Joujou (気分上々↑↑) mihimaru GT single, i'll post the link at the non-H!P request thread since some of you might want it!

That would be great, thanks ^^
