Her debut single BELIEVER ~Tabidachi no Uta~ / Adrenalin is her best selling single so far. Despite of her huge talent, that success hasn't been repeated.
If you know or like Full Metal Panic! and Fairy Tail, you surely have heard her songs, since she's mostly known for those. One of her most remembered songs is "tomorrow" and pretty much the same applies to the rest of the songs used in FMP. As a curious fact, she had a minor seiyuu role in said series.

Besides of those albums, she also has many cover releases where she rearranges classic anime songs and even her own previous singles.

Some of those albums, and her recopilation ones, include dvd material with footage about her experiences in Korea and Taiwan, these clips allow us to see how close she's with her fans, and how she cries with her own lyrics.
Mikuni is noted for her sweet voice, and her encouraging lyrics and songs.
After her participation in Märchen and marriage, she hasn't been really active, and only assists to conventions as special guest from time to time. Despite of this lack of activity, she hasn't announced the end of her career, so there are chances of her coming back in the future.｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡｡ I think it's important to know a little bit of information about the members that Revo chose for being part of his project, because this way we can get an idea or understand why he took that decision.
I always have had this idea: Revo makes good voices to sound even better. And I may be biased, but Mikuni is a great example of that. In the 7th story she sounds nothing alike to what she usually does, and shows a different side of her voice with this high notes and especially during the revenge part. But that's my opinion.
Now I would like to hear you: Did you know about Mikuni before Sound Horizon? Have you known other singers thanks to Revo?
In my case, 10 years ago I heard her song "tomorrow" thanks to a friend that liked the series back then, but I never had idea of who was the singer, and only knew it as "the opening for x anime". It wasn't until Sanhora that I searched and found out it was her all the time, I decided to give her a try and quickly she managed to be one of my favorite singers.
As for the second question. The short answer is yes, and it has also helped me to expand my musical vision. |
