About Mii

About Yameii Online

Together, Atlanta-based visual artist Oseanworld and music producer Deko created Yameii, a virtual character with her own personality and music career.

Yameii was initially conceptualized as the hero in the OSEANWORLD anime, available to watch on YouTube. Osean intended for her to be a singer, but once he and Deko teamed up, her music evolved and took on a more rap-influenced form. Inspired by Japanese vocaloid characters such as Hatsune Miku and the duo’s Atlanta roots, they developed and refined her iconic hyper-pop sound, blending pop, electronic sounds, and rap in a way that appeals to both a Western and Eastern audience. The duo have since worked together on building Yameii’s brand across music, visuals, & merchandising.

About Mirei

MIREI is the alluring and dauntless voice from Japan using modern pop bangers to call attention to what you may have never known if you were not living in Tokyo. At 24 years old, her English-language debut Take Me Away (released on January 31, 2020 via The Orchard / Cool Japan Music) garnered massive support from fans and media around the world including Teen Vogue who raved about her style and approach.

In Japan, MIREI is known as Touyama Mirei （當山みれい）, and has been a prominent figure in the music industry, releasing a series of chart-topping hits through Sony Music since 2014. Her Japanese-language tracks have garnered more than 330 million streams domestically and an impressive 730 million streams worldwide, giving her the title of “songstress of streaming”. After great anticipation, “Lonely In Tokyo”, the smash hit from her International debut album, Take Me Away is finally available to fans in Japan after a three year wait since its original release.
