EP "IKI - Breath" Official Media Description

What resides at the beginning of life-it is "breath."
From the first inhale to the final exhale,
everything in between is the drama of living.

MIU's latest EP, "IKI - Breath," explores this fundamental theme,
fusing traditional Japanese spirituality with the essence of hip-hop across three tracks.
All beats are crafted by CK, providing a dynamic and minimalist soundscape
that perfectly supports MIU's voice and artistic vision.

* be Queen

An anthem to embrace and trust your inner light.
MIU's voice, carrying the brilliance of the sun and the quiet glow of the moon, awakens the listener's subconscious and restores confidence.

* Ai no Hazama de (In the Midst of Love)

A song for all who live between strength and vulnerability, light and shadow.
It encourages embracing both oneself and others with compassion and acceptance.

* Hirari Benitsubaki (Falling Crimson Camellia)

A track reflecting the cycles of self and the world,
highlighting the beauty in everyday moments with a distinctly Japanese sensibility.

With vocals that are both mystical and powerful,
and Japanese lyricism that embraces space and nuance,
MIU guides listeners on a profound inner journey.

Recognized as "Japan's First Awakener,"
MIU continues to deliver music that reconnects people with their true selves.
This EP is a declaration of that mission:
Take a breath-and the world begins to shift.

Artist Profile

  • MIU

    MIU-The Awakener (Form-Compatible Version) Japanese The Awakener A Japan-born hip-hop artist who channels awakening through sound. Based in Odawara, Kanagawa, MIU began her career as a member of the hip-hop crew SWAGPARK. When asked about her genre, she answers without hesitation: "I am the genre." Rooted in hip-hop's origins - liberation from oppression and the proof of the soul - she delves deeply into this spirit and discovers something uniquely Japanese: a tradition of ancient spirituality and wisdom that can only be expressed from Japan. This became the foundation for her Japan-born hip-hop, resonating beyond borders. She shed the borrowed aesthetics of global culture and now performs on stage in geta sandals and traditional Japanese attire. Her music, built on the power of kotodama (the spiritual vibration of words) and a cosmic perspective, is simultaneously a prayer, an affirmation, and a form of magic. "The neon lights of the city cannot compete with the light I emit." Her voice carries the strength of the sun and the serene glow of the moon. MIU's music awakens the forgotten dignity of humanity and the pulse of life. It restores confidence, reboots identity, and rekindles the flame of the soul. By redefining hip-hop through the lens of Japanese aesthetics, MIU channels her roots to awaken the world. Simply by singing, she purifies the space around her. Each track is a key, unlocking the inner light within every listener.
