Editor's note

Miliyah Kato writes R&B soul from Okinawa.

A songwriter since her teens, she debuted in 2004 and kept going through autotune debates.

If you want her sound in two tracks, try 'Future Lover' and 'Anata ga Hoshii.' They're straight-up examples of how she handles R&B.

She started putting out music when Japanese pop was still figuring out how to use autotune, and she just kept writing. Songs like 'Love me, i love you' have that steady R&B feel she's worked with for years. It's plain, patient pop-soul that doesn't need to shout.

She wrote her first songs at 13 and debuted with 'Never Let Go' in 2004. By 2010 she was topping charts with Yoshika on 'Love Forever,' and she's put out 10 studio albums since.

Archive material and source history

Miliyah Kato started writing songs at 13 and made her debut in 2004 with the single 'Never Let Go.' She was born in Okinawa in 1988. Her music often works with R&B and soul sounds, as you can hear in songs like 'Future Lover' and 'Anata ga Hoshii.'

In 2010 she collaborated with singer-songwriter Yoshika on the single 'Love Forever,' which topped the Oricon Singles Chart. They later performed as the duo Kato & Yoshika. She has released 10 studio albums along with various singles and EPs.

Around 2007, some listeners criticized her use of autotune, which was still a fairly new and debated technique in Japanese pop at the time. She kept recording and putting out music anyway. Other tracks in her catalog include 'Dokomademo (How Far I'll Go)' and 'Funny Love.'
