When I went to Japan last month I picked up her last few tours (+ I saw Femme Fatale live last year) and I have to say, to me, Miliyah is the strongest among the longer lasting female J-Pop singers. Her sound is diverse, her albums always have a concept she sticks too, she has really emotional lyrics that also address wider topics (and sometimes even topics, that the public avoids). When she does ballads, she does them good, when she does dance/upbeat she kills it. They are never the same, yet, she always manages to incorporate her sound and they always sound fleshed out. Among the "pure pop"-singer, I think she has one of the best voices (even more so live).
I really don't get why she isn't more successful and it really makes me mad, that Sony Japan doesn't make her available outside of Japan.
That said, M BEST II is coming out next week. I'm not so thrilled by the track-list. I'd have preferred a continuation of M BEST or a different title if it is not that.
Yet, i really love the packaging and the special instagram account she opened for it.
On Tuesday she will release the new PV for "Sayonara Baby" feat. SKI-HI and so far i really liked the previews. Haven't heard one for PARADE yet tho.
