Today's video is Lonely in Tokyo by Japanese singer MIREI. Her full name is Touyama Mirei (or Mirei Touyama in Western terms) and she's from Osaka. She won a Japanese dance competition aged 10 and later performed in dance clubs in New York. MIRIEI debuted internationally in 2013 aged 14, with the digital US single TATOO and in Japan in June 2014 with double A-side Fallin' Out/I Wanna NO featuring SHUN. July 2016 saw the release of her debut album My Way which reached No. 1 in the iTunes charts.
MIREI has also brought out a second album called Answer and her other singles include By Your Side and Dear My Boo, an answer song to Shota Shimizu's hit single My Boo (all Japanese language). Last September she made her international English language debut under the name MIREI, with the single and music video Take Me Away, and her international debut album Take Me Away was released in January.
She plans to bring awareness to issues that are currently taboo in Japan, such a mental health and objectification of women, such as female idols (popstars). Her music is a mixture of pop, R'n'B and electronic.
The video for Lonely in Tokyo was uploaded last month. The song is about the dark side of life in Tokyo
