What's TWO-MIX??
TWO-MIX is a JPOP group consisting of two
members - One Girl and One Boy :). The lady's name is Minami Takayama. The gentleman's name is Shiina Nagano. They are very popular and their singles
became hits in Japan. They organized their first group in 1990.
It was called RE-X. Later after that, in 1992, Minami and
Shiina with other people made a new group called ES_Connection.
Then, in
1994-1995, TWO-MIX was borned. The first single was "JUST
COMMUNICATION" c/w SECOND IMPRESSION. After this 1st single,
most of the TWO-MIX singles jump to the ORICON Top 10. In August
1995, TWO-MIX released their first album "BPM 132 ". "BPM"
means "Beats
Per Minute".
So, as we can see (and HEAR :), speed and rhythm of their most
songs is very fast. In the 1996, they released their second album
"BPM 143" and after that "BPM 150MAX" was
released.
Then, in 1997,
they released their album "BPM "BEST FILES ". It
was a compilation of some of their most famous singles. Recently,
in December of 1998, TWO-MIX released the "SUPER 'BEST
FILES' 1995-1998"-album. Also, in 1st January,1999 TWO-MIX jump to
another CD company.(From King Record to Warner Music
Japan).
In May of 1999, they also set up a new company "LITTLE STATION". The
chairman of LITTLE STATION is TWO-MIX's Shiina Nagano, and
vice-chairlady is TWO-MIX's Minami Takayama
Their first 12
singles were recorded on this album + some other songs. The album
was a huge success because it was a compilation of the best and
most popular TWO-MIX singles.
As of now,
TWO-MIX released about 14 mini and full albums
and their discography counts in oricon is 112
(total profit in 5 yr is ¥
6,612,100,000)
