As influenced by her mother who was a ballerina, Mina started learning ballet, piano & violin at a young age. She lived in South Korea until she was 3 years old, and after that spent her childhood visiting South Korea, Japan and the USA. She entered a Japanese elementary school, but was bullied for not being fluent in Japanese. In elementary school she started writing lyrics, and in high school she started composing seriously.
Initially, she dreamed about working in South Korea, but ended up staying and working in Japan since her Japanese rapper friends did not want her to leave. She applied for the 9th tournament of "BAZOOKA!!! High School Student RAP Championship" (BAZOOKA!!! 高校生RAP選手権), where high school students compete at freestyle rapping. She ended up losing on the 2nd round.
On April 18th, 2016, she released her debut single "Mirror", which topped the iTunes Store hip-hop ranking. On August 31st on the same year, she announced her second single "Princess".
BEST FRIEND
Chanmina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
どうって事ないあんたは男じゃない
私はあんたにとって女じゃない
You are my best friend, right?
そう思ってた
昔からずっと一緒にいるし
ほとんど知ってる元カノ履歴
うちらの現在 好きなこの話
あんたとなんて絶対ありえない
いつもの電話でそう話した
俺も願い下げだって言ってたじゃん
なのに今お互い目を逸らさないまま
何かに気付いて何か言いたげだ
でも今に始まった事じゃなかった
長い長い嘘をつくくらい
お互い欲しくてたまらなかった
表面上 we are best friends
2人とも嘘つき
Baby, will you ride
Baby, till you die
I just need you, you, you, you, you
I don't get high on them riches
もうなっちゃいなよ正直に
Baby, will you ride
Baby, till you die
I just need you, you, you, you, you
I just need you, you, you, you, you
一線を越しちゃう
そんなの得意じゃん
昔のうちらバカみたいに遊んだ
今でもバカじゃん好きって言えば?
あんたから先にすぐすむから
友情なんてとっくに無かったうちら
全部ほっぽってくる覚悟はできた?
映画みたい親友との love story
いけない感じ悪くない
寂しいだけなのか若気の至り?
黒歴史なるか驚かれるか?
秘密にしようか? 試してみようか?
あなたと私で友情の延長線
失敗もまだ許されるうちに
本気になったら面白くない?
でも私はもうすでに本気
I was liar 欲しくてたまらない
表面上 We are best friends
2人とも嘘つき
Baby, will you ride
Baby, till you die
I just need you, you, you, you, you
I don't get high on them riches
もうなっちゃいなよ正直に
Baby, will you ride
Baby, till you die
I just need you, you, you, you, you

I just need you, you, you, you, you
I don't get high on them riches

Baby, will you ride
Baby, till you die
I just need you, you, you, you, you
You got me so stuck on your heart
Stuck on your heart
強がらないで 友達をやめようよ
Stuck on your heart
Yeah, Stuck on your heart
In "Best Boy Friend" by Chanmina, the lyrics depict a complicated relationship between two individuals who were initially best friends. The song addresses the notion that the person in question, referred to as "you," is not just a typical male, and the singer herself is not just a woman to him. Despite this, they have always been together, knowing each other's past relationships and having frequent conversations. The singer believed that they were best friends until a pivotal moment when they both acknowledged that a romantic relationship between them was impossible.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing and desire, as both individuals seem unable to tear their gaze away from each other and struggle to suppress their feelings. Despite knowing that getting involved with each other is out of the question, they both feel an intense attraction and are unable to resist their desires. The lyrics also touch upon the idea that they have both been lying about their feelings and the nature of their relationship, pretending to be best friends while secretly craving something more.
The singer questions whether their connection is merely a result of loneliness or youthful folly. She wonders if their relationship will become a regrettable part of their past or if it will be something that surprises others. They contemplate whether to keep their feelings a secret or to test the boundaries of their friendship. The singer admits that she is already serious about her feelings, expressing how much she desired this to the point of lying and deceiving herself.
Overall, "Best Boy Friend" delves into the complexity and emotional turmoil of a deep friendship that is on the verge of crossing boundaries into romantic territory. It explores the fine line between friendship and something more, addressing the struggle to hide feelings and the desire to explore a deeper connection.
