Draft:Ryu Miho

Submission declined on 1 January 2025 by Qcne (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of music-related topics). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Ryu Miho, Japanese, Born into a family with a trading company executive father, Miho spent her early childhood overseas. After returning to Japan, she grew up in Kamakura, where she was immersed in music daily through her jazz-loving father and R&B-loving mother.

She began her serious musical journey in high school, forming a rock band where she played keyboard and guitar while also writing lyrics and composing music. She collaborated with various artists across different genres. Eventually, inspired by Helen Merrill, she became deeply involved in the jazz world.

Known for what experts call "miracle vocal cords" and described as "Tokyo's Sigh," she garnered attention for her healing whisper voice characterized by rich harmonics and ethereal qualities.

In 2009, she released her debut album "woman with LOVE," marking the blossoming of her talent. In 2012, she made her major debut with King Records, releasing the full album "...and you will find me." Due to its overwhelming response, her second album "Because the Night..." was released just a year and a half later. She has been hailed as a new DIVA across various circles for her broad musical knowledge, rock spirit that serves as her personal foundation, unique interpretations of cover songs, high-quality original compositions, intellectual beauty, distinctive vocal prowess, and elegant stage presence.

In 2014, she was appointed as Tourism Ambassador for Nakanojo Town, Agatsuma District, Gunma Prefecture, where she sang the town's official theme song "Nakanojo no Uta."

In 2016, she released her 3rd album "Call me" from King Records.
