Daisy×Daisy (Japanese: デイジーデイジー) is the solo project of Japanese singer MiKA (born on October 4, 1983, in Ehime, province to the northwest of Shikoku). It was originally a duo with MiKA (vocals/lyrics) and yuuki (guitarist/composer/lyricist) created in 2005, but yuuki decided to leave in 2008. However, MiKA carried on as a solo act, but kept the name DaisyxDaisy. In 2009, the single "brave your truth" reached 19th in the Oricon chart.[1]

MiKA comes from a family of musicians. She studied Enka,[2] a traditional Japanese style of music, from the age of four.[3] She then moved to Tokyo, where she learned music from an Enka master. However, she felt like experimenting with different styles, and ended up forming a band. Since then, many have considered her to be a rock singer.[4]

She has performed abroad, having gone to Brazil in 2018 to São Paulo at Anime Dreams;[5] and in Recife at Anima Recife.[6][4]
