Moku-chan’s J-music Corner: Two-Mix
Hello Anime Addicts! This week I am going to be introducing you to a band that my friend Macross_Maniac told me about, Two-Mix.
Some of you may already know of Two-Mix from the opening and ending themes they did for animes like Gundam Wing, and Case Closed.
The group was formed in 1995 by voice actress Minami Takayama (voice of Conan Edogawa in Case Closed) vocals, and Shiina Nagano as synthesizer and lyricist. The two met during the early 90’s when Takayama was part of the indie band Re-X, and the two met through a friend. Along with performing anime themes, the two made a guest appearance in the anime Case Closed in an episode where they were both kidnapped and rescued by Conan.
The band Joe Rinoie to the band in 2005 and changed their name to Mix Delta for a short time, and in 2008 Shiina went on to form his solo music project entitled ShiinaTactix which features different female vocalists.
As I said earlier, Macross_Maniac told me about this band, I had never heard of them til that point, and now I’m hooked! I posted my to favorite of their songs at the moment, so check them out! And thanks again to Macross for the suggestion! And if you have any J-music artists you would like me to feature here, I’m always looking for new ideas! Just pm me on the forums to let me know!
Til next week!
