Mayonaka no Door (真夜中のドア) / Stay With Me is a song about torn lovers, the sadness of two hearts becoming distant, and coming to terms with the loneliness that comes after someone you love has gone. The song is so catchy that even Hololive V-Tubers like Gawr Gura have covered it. In many ways the song feels like early Michael Jackson reincarnated as Japanese woman in a parallel universe. There is an undeniable element of feeling in the music that cannot be escaped by anyone with even a vague sense of empathy. The song had a powerful ability to capture the senses and draw you in with its jazzy funk-pop aura that demands to be listened to all the way through to the end. I had first found Miki’s music in 2016 and decided to include it in my very first City Pop mix which brought a lot of attention to the genre back then without knowing to what extent the song would travel. HER MUSIC WAS GETTING REDISCOVERED AROUND 2016
It was commented by someone familiar with the circumstances revolving around her last months that she had regretted her music career, likely due to not having enough time to focus on living her life more fully, unknowingly heading toward an inevitable end that would come too soon. Unfortunately, this surge in popularity came many years after she had passed away in 2004 due to complications with cancer.
MIKI NEVER GOT TO SEE HER MUSIC POPULAR IN THE WEST This viral hit was written by famed composers Tetsuji Hayashi and Tokuko Miura. Though even before TikTok, she had already been widely loved by the vast majority of City Pop Fans across the internet for her innocent demeanor, genuine beauty, and striking vocal talent that has charmed millions of listeners worldwide that are hearing her sing for the first time. The singer soared in popularity again in the late 2010s thanks to her hit song “ Mayonaka no Door (真夜中のドア) / Stay with me” which had been adopted by social media platform TikTok, creating a wave of interest in the singer and her discography.
