They debuted with their album "16未成年" on 21 July 2008. These sisters have been given different hairstyles for easy identification due to their uncanny resemblance. However, they claimed to be different in terms of personality. Miko has been described as more introverted and quiet while her sister Yumi, has been described as a more extroverted and outgoing person.
Since young age, both of the sisters have been exposed to performing arts and have learned the violin, piano, ballet and many other styles of dancing. At the age of 13, both of them joined the Ocean Butterflies' Music Forest's "非常歌手" training course. The course aims to teach singer-wannabes how to perform on stage and techniques in singing and dancing. They graduated from the course clinching a "Best Costume Design" award. Billy Koh of Ocean Butterflies Music Pte Ltd noticed their talent and gave them a 10-year record deal.
The duo moved to Taiwan in 2007 to further their career.

下班了 我知道没人会问我是如何回家
又到了周末 心里格外的沉重
脑海中浮现 你一句句带刀子的话
像一只老鼠一样 缩在阴沟里
不敢涉足在灯光之下 天天被踩在脚下
我无处可逃 无人可寻 无力挣脱
以为随着时间推移 阴影会褪去
忍不住哭泣 我不是垃圾
我努力 相信那些嘲讽不是你的真心语
我畏惧 身边人善意的目光是一种陷阱
要我成为谁啊 到底我是谁啊 镜子不回话
天真小孩沧桑又憔悴的脸庞
看不到快乐的模样
Nobody cares Nobody cares Nobody cares
(没人在乎)
Nobody cares Nobody cares Nobody cares
(没人在乎）
Here's my story
（这是我的故事）
记得当年 15岁的凌晨5点
上学闹钟还没响起妈妈把我摇醒
颤抖的声音 说爸 没能撑过去 哭得歇斯底里
手摸着你无心跳冰冷身体 我不想再去回忆
同一年阴错阳差成为歌手
以为有了新的方向把他们当榜样
他们说 都是一家人
他们说 你们没颜值 专辑 只能出几张
他们说 名誉 根本不需公关 不听使唤
就把你替换
终于明白why（为什么） 最亲近的艺人朋友
逃离现世去
我开始 恨我自己 变得忧郁 努力抗争自卑心理
说是为我好不发声明 那都是假象 都是假象
Nobody cares nobody cares
(没人在乎）
Nobody cares Nobody cares
(没人在乎）
真假的 黑白的
混淆的真相 你怎还不明白
难道受过伤的人不值得被爱
我告诉自己一切都会好起来
好起来 好起来
最初反对我们来到这里
平日不联系 取点成绩跑到微信说看好你
那三年沉落在海底 奋力呼救却被遗落在原地
今日这个舞台不留任何余地
明日 我找回自己
一切都会好起来
The lyrics to By2's song 都是假象 (All Illusions) talk about the struggles and insecurities faced by the singers. It starts with the feeling of loneliness and heaviness that comes with the end of the workday and the arrival of the weekend. They depict themselves as a mouse hiding in the gutter, afraid to step into the spotlight and constantly being trampled upon. The lyrics reflect a sense of desperation and a longing to escape this situation. They hope that with time, the shadows will fade away, but they can't help but cry because they know they are not worthless. They strive to believe that the mocking words are not coming from the person's true heart. They fear that the kindness shown by people around them is merely a trap. They question their identity, asking who they are and why the mirror doesn't answer. They describe themselves as a child who has lost their innocence and carries a worn-out face, unable to see happiness. They repeat the phrase "Nobody cares" to express the feeling of being ignored and overlooked.
The second part of the song tells the story of the singer's past, when they were woken up by their mother early in the morning, only to hear the devastating news that their father had passed away. Fast forward to the same year, and they became singers accidentally. They thought they had found a new direction and looked up to their role models. However, they were deceived by statements like "we are all one family." They were told they lacked looks and would only be able to release a few albums. They were taught that fame did not require any PR and were easily replaced. The singer reflects on why their closest artist friends have chosen to leave this world. They blame themselves, feeling increasingly depressed and fighting against their own insecurities. They realize that all the declarations made in their favor are nothing but illusions. They emphasize the phrase "Nobody cares" again to convey the notion that they are left with no one who truly cares for them.
Overall, the lyrics of 都是假象 portray the struggles and emotional turmoil experienced by the singers. It reflects their feelings of being unnoticed, facing criticisms, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations, leading to a sense of self-doubt and a search for their true identity.

Like a mouse, I shrink in the gutter

I dare not step into the light, being constantly trampled underfoot

I have nowhere to escape, no one to find, no strength to break free

I thought the shadows would fade with time

这是我的故事
This is my story
记得当年 15岁的凌晨5点
I remember back then, at 5 o'clock in the morning when I was 15
上学闹钟还没响起妈妈把我摇醒
Before the school alarm rang, my mom woke me up
颤抖的声音 说爸 没能撑过去 哭得歇斯底里
With a trembling voice, she said, 'Dad couldn't make it, crying hysterically
手摸着你无心跳冰冷身体 我不想再去回忆
Touching your lifeless cold body, I don't want to remember anymore
同一年阴错阳差成为歌手
By a twist of fate in the same year, I became a singer
以为有了新的方向把他们当榜样
Thinking that I had a new direction, I took them as role models
他们说 都是一家人
They said, 'We're all one family'
他们说 你们没颜值 专辑 只能出几张
They said, 'You don't have looks, you can only release a few albums'
他们说 名誉 根本不需公关 不听使唤
They said, 'Fame doesn't need public relations, don't listen to them'
就把你替换
They just replaced you
终于明白why 最亲近的艺人朋友逃离现世去
Finally understood why my closest artist friend escaped from this world
我开始 恨我自己 变得忧郁 努力抗争自卑心理
I started hating myself, becoming depressed, struggling against my inferiority complex
说是为我好不发声明 那都是假象 都是假象
Saying it's for my own good, but not making any statements, it's all a facade, all a facade
Nobody cares nobody cares
Nobody cares nobody cares
真假的 黑白的
Real or fake, black or white
混淆的真相 你怎还不明白
The confused truth, how do you still not understand?
难道受过伤的人不值得被爱
Are people who have been hurt not worthy of love?
我告诉自己一切都会好起来
I tell myself that everything will get better
好起来 好起来
Get better, get better
最初反对我们来到这里
At first, they opposed us coming here
平日不联系 取点成绩跑到微信说看好你
We don't usually contact each other, but when I achieve something, they message me on WeChat saying they support me
那三年沉落在海底 奋力呼救却被遗落在原地
Those three years sank to the bottom of the sea, struggling to call for help but left stranded in the same place
今日这个舞台不留任何余地
Today, this stage leaves no room for anything else
明日 我找回自己
Tomorrow, I will find myself
一切都会好起来
Everything will get better

有一些詞有做更改，讓人覺得更符合妳們自己的經歷。真的辛苦妳們了🥺
但可能是Live的版本比較激烈一點，那版對我印象也比較深，所以Live版對我來說更打動我一些！
但錄音版本也很好聽！
會一直支持你們的❤️
