Miura Daichi, or just DAICHI, is the former lead singer of Folder, where he was dubbed "Japan's Smallest Soulman". His showbiz career began at the age of 9 when he wowed audiences with his slick dance moves and strong singing chops. Daichi took a break from the music business at the age of 12 when his voice began to change and members of Folder went on to become Folder5.

Now 21 years old, he is continuing his pop career. His first solo single entitled Keep It Goin' On was released by the avex trax label on March 30th 2005.

I liked his song Keep it goin on, I kinda wondered what happened to him after that. I gotta go and check him out.

I love Daichi. One of the best singers I've ever heard. I wonder why he isn't more popular...?
My favorite song is probably Magic or Wishing on a Groove.

"your love" is AWESOME. he's one of the first japanese singers i've seen that can dance really well. or maybe i just haven't been paying enough attention. XD

one of the things i love about "your love" is that it's r&b and not a ballad. a lot of the j-r&b artists i like will start out with r&b and then when they become popular (or comeback in daichi's case), they release a slew of super slow, boring songs. hopefully daichi will have a good mix of the two types!

no, Daichi is the only Japanese singer that can really dance. about the RnB thing, RnB is not big in Japanese and RnB singers single/album don't sale much which is why they switch to pop or ballad [with cheesy love lyrics best example Thelma Aoyama] .

ah, i thought so. i hadn't really seen any singers that could dance. i usually just see them doing really simple choreography or not dancing at all. or...doing some bad dancing. ;_;

yeah, aoyama thelma was exactly who i was thinking of (along with jay'ed) when i typed up that first reply. i loved her first few singles when she was kinda unheard of, but now that she's gained popularity, she's been releasing slow love song after slow love song. i wish she'd release an upbeat song at least. but like you said, r&b isn't that popular in japan, so it'd be better business wise to just keep releasing pop ballads.

but maybe this single will sell well for daichi since KREVA is featured on it...?

[s_diah]

OMG.. there's a Daichi thread on soompi???!!!!
I'm currently obsessed with this guy right now.. can't stop playing Your Love in my ipod
I first knew about him from watching the youtube clip of him dancing to Chris Brown's song.. and I was just thinking to myself this dude can dance!! I've never seen a Japanese guy who can dance like him.. and then I decided to check out his other clips.. saw him perform DMC.. and I think I just fell in love hahaha.. when is he ever gonna have that song out as a single?? I'm dying to get that song!

[smiiilezz]

hahahah! I love Daichi! So much, I made a forum for him
My favorite song by him is super star though.
Favorite music video would be inside your head or flag.
DMC does need to be recorded and put on an album, along with the flag single, the inside your head single, the your love single, and there is news of a new song coming out in may~

I'm liking his song already Thank you for introducing him.

Yeah, it's really rare to see Japanese singer who can sing AND dance. I like his dance moves in his PVs

[smiiilezz]

I love Daichi! (How many times can I say that?) His new music video is eh..Doesn't really capture my attention for too long, but him as 5 people at one time is awesome! But the song is great! But I'm anticipating a new album soooon! And ^LOL ROSA XD

[xradiostatic]

yay! i LOVE the new single! the mv is kinda boring and reminds me of chris brown's "forever", but the fact that all of the dancers are daichi is amazing, haha. i didn't even notice at first. XD yes i'm slow

i agree; it is very rare to see! it's one of the reasons why i love him so much, haha.

[kissez*]

Could someone post vids of his dancing? (preferably a live performance)
I checked out the few links that were available but it wasn't enough to form an opinion just yet.
I like his live vocals though.

You have to join to see them all though~

[xradiostatic]

the preview for daichi's new single "damn" is up here! (it'll probably open up right away in whatever music program you use).

(source = daichi miura thread @ jpopmusic.com)

[smiiilezz]

^ Oh really? Is it good? Because it doesn't play when I go. ><~

[unknown.]

^ Open it using WMP. It works.

He's underrated. I always thought he's good.
He's from VisionFactory, I think.
And they're not promoting him very well...
like their other artists =/
(FLAME & Lead seems to be inactive...
but they're not. Their activities
are not really promoted that much.)

Daichi new single ranked #15 on the Oricon.
