++What is Two-mix?+
Two-mix is a Japanese band that was formed in 1995 by Takayama Minami (female)
and Nagano
Shiina
(male). Takayama
Minami is the vocalist, composer and arranger whilst the talented Nagano
Shiina is the lyricist for the band . The fascinating techno and dance beats
and the touching lyrics have made Two-Mix so huge in the Japanese music
industry. Two-Mix is probably more known in the anime series Gundam Wing,since they have produced many of their opening theme songs. Now check
out the images and read about how Two-Mix was formed.

+The history of Two-Mix++
Takayama and Nagano met and worked together long before they formed Two-Mix.
When Takayama released her first solo album <<Endless Communication>>
in 1992, Nagano was the one who wrote the lyrics and it was the first time
they worked together.
The first time they met was in the early 1990s. At that time, Nagano wanted
to form a band with somebody who can compose or write lyrics, and then Takayama
was introduced to him.
Nagano taught her how to compose and he also taught her how to play the
piano.
Together with another member (the guitarist), they formed their first band
"ES CONNEXION" and released the album <<RYTHMMIX>>
in 1994, but the band disbanded in 1995, and it was then Two-Mix was formed.
In April 1995, they released their first single <<Just communication>>,
which was also the opening song for the anime series Gundam Wing.
In November, they released their second single <<Rhythm Emotion>>,
which was another opening for Gundam Wing. Also, in August 1995,
they released their first album <<BPM 132>> (BPM stands for
"Beats Per Minute"). At the beginning of 1996, they released
their second album <<BMP 143>> and in the winter of the same
year, their third album <<BPM 150 Max>> was released.
In January 1997, they made another song <<White Reflection>>
for Gundam Wing:Endless Waltz. Also in June, they released their
first greatest hits album <<BPM Best Files>>. In the mid 1998,
they wrote <<Last Impression>> for Gundam Wing:Endless.
In 1998, Two-Mix moved from their former record company KING RECORDS
to WARNER MUSIC JAPAN. In November, Two-Mix wrote the opening song
<<Truth>> for Detective Conan, and the single covers were drawn
by Aoyama Gosho (Takayama
and Nagano's best friend).
In 1999, straight after they have signed the WARNER MUSIC JAPAN contract,
they formed their own management agency <<Little Station>>,
and Takayama Miru who is Minami's cousin also joined their <<Little
Station>> and released an album under the name "MinaMiru".
In 2000, Two-Mix concentrated on their "Infinity Project", producing
dance tracks under the name "TWO∞MIX". They also released
<<BPM Cute>> which was their first English and Japanese album,
this album attracted their international fans.
