Sony has definitely been trying to recruit some new "it" artists, but most of them have barely bleeped on the radar. MiChi was indies for a short while before being picked up by a major label. Her first cut is this effervescent electropop tune aligned with confident and assured vocals. While the song isn't groundbreaking by creative means, it breaks the mold of current solo female J-pop singers and is bracing. Will MiChi stick around for a second single? I'll keep my expectations low just so I'm not disappointed.
