History
mihimaru GT is a best selling Japanese duet made up of composer, lyricist and vocalist, Miyake as well as vocalist and lyricist Hiroko. The group was formed due to the joint management of the two members during their solo careers. Before forming mihimaru GT, each member had a relatively quiet career with little to no major hits. To remind each other that the success of the group is from contributions from both members, the name mihimaru GT was created for the band, taking the first two letters in each members'; last name and adding "maru" or "perfection" to the end of it as well as the initials for Miyake';s favorite video game--Gran Turismo.
Unlike many other groups, mihimaru GT will often record songs featuring only one of their members, though because of each members'; background, they are both involved with every song in some way. hiroko is usually responsible for the main melody of the song, whereas miyake is featured in the rap that may appear in a song. The band is known for its urban and pop oriented songs as well as slow ballad oriented songs. They are currently signed to one of the largest independent music labels in the world.
Prior to 2006, they';ve had an average career, with their singles ranking no higher than #16 on the ORICON charts. In 2006, however, their single "Kibun Jojo" became the commerical song for DARIYA';s "Palty" and music.jp';s commercial theme, as well as the ending theme for the variety program "SUKIBARA." The triple tie-up gave them lots of exposure and more people began to take notice of them. On May 5, 2006, they performed on the popular music show MUSIC STATION and was featured on the "YOUNG GUNS" corner. The appearance on the show boosted their popularity and made "Kibun Jojo" onto the #7 spot on the ORICON charts. From then on, their career has been doing well and popularity rising steadily, with "Itsumademo Hibiku Kono Melody/Magical Speaker" reaching as high as #3 on the ORICON charts.

Ah! I love mihimaru GT so much!!
Favorite song is shiawase no narou of course.. I am waiting for some new music for them since last year.. hhmm.. when will they make new music.. I am waiting.. mihimarise is an amazing album. One of the best overall albums I ever listened to.. my favorite song from that album is... are.. bon voyave and diverge.. and girigiri hero.
i luv their song 4 abarenbo mama OST
the title is i should be so lucky..
i luv their music also.. 
NEW SINGLE JUNE 17TH!! Competing with Do As Infinity's new single that day!! I can't wait to see the results and who will be on top!!! YES!!!!
btw single is called "Switch"
I've seen the covers. And they look AWESOME!!
hahaha, zute-san, that's what I've said 1 month ago too :laughing:
I think DAI is gonna be the winner since their comeback is much awaited. They haven't released a single since 2006 so people will buy their single.
Indeed the covers are amazing. I love the cover for the dvd+cd :lovec:
Since this is posting for mihimaru gt supporters.. I will make a subliminal message implying who I want to be on top
fehalskfhlajkshdojsdkfhalsasfjashkinfinitydshfsal
bwahaha...
I have yet to hear a preview or anything of this new single "switch"... and I am waiting for this pv..... 
hahaha let's just leave DAI at least on this topic.
Damn dude, you still don't want to read the first post of the topic :laughing: I've put there a link with the song "switch"
What.. haha I never read that top cause I thought it was just info on the artist.. LOL.
well thanks for posting that!!
I can't download it now cause I'm on wii internet.. but tell me about it asap.
I can't wait to hear it, dude!!! :rock: go mihimaru gt!! Such amazing duo.. I don't know why everyone doesn't love them...
I liked Mihimaru GT for a long time but I only ever heard 気分上々↑↑ before and never thought to look up new songs :RBblush: but now that I heard this I regret it and I'll probably get a lot of their music. :RBohNo: So thanks for this post!
I love Torekechau Dandy. haha. It grew on me..
If it didn't have those marimbas, though, then this song would just sound like their usual stuff. Instead of with the slight tropical feeling
ahh gotta love Love Letter
REALLY great song and video.
I love breakbeat songs though
Today's the Love Letter release! Yaaay! :lovec: I love this song so much, and the b-side Unbelievable's growing on me too~
I'm also so excited about the new album.
There are news on a website about a new single that's going to be released on April 21st. I'm happy about it, but now they're releasing so much new stuff and I wouldn't like that after that they stop doing it until the end of the year or something... :no:
ah I can't wait for their album 0_0
They released their new album alr and reached no3 on the oricon daily chart on the first day!
#3 on Oricon is great! I hope they feature also in the weekly ranking 
I think it's a pretty good album, I love it! Besides the featured singles (from which Shiawase ni Narou is very special for me), I also love Michishirube (beautiful! :lovec: ), Dosu Koi (very funny~) and S·ku·n·k.
I haven't seen the lyrics for SIGNAL but don't they sing about themselves in it? Because I hear mihimaru, mihimaLIST, Hip-pop, "minna arigatou" etc. :RBhalo:
And today I received my Love Letter copy. The covers look more beautiful than on the computer screen. I love this single~ :high5:
Yeah!! The album is pretty awesome..
I believe Shiawase ni narou is my favorite :RBhalo:
this is my favorit also
They've got a new single coming out on April 21, 2010.

Hiroko san is da shiz.
I like them because they are a complete commercial package that appeals to many layers of society.
