The band formed in 1988 and have released albums in Japan from Toshiba EMI, Biosphere Records and Kitty Records. Mr.Shindo became her music producer in 1997 and they made the natural move to CTPR(Contemp Records) in 1998.
Hi-Posi's music is indescribable, irresistible pop. A wildly eclectic array of inspirations, including new wave, techno-pop, ska, and lounge, are thrown into the blender to create a mix that can only be described as Hi-Posi. They have the strong mixmusic aesthetic that is one of the most powerful common threads in the best of Japanese contemporary music.
They incorporate another common thread of these artists: their music is extremely twisted. And,they have the third thread in abundance too: sweet melodies. Their skewed tales of love and obsession, sung in Miho's breathy, sexy yet jaded voice, are chronicles of premilleniam musicians having a great time with the music and the audience.
Hi-Posi has collaborated with some of the best of Japan's international pop/alternative set, including Keigo Oyamada (better known as "Cornelius"), Hiroshi Kawanabe (Tokyo No.1 Soul Set), Tei Towa (ex:Dee-lite) and Tomoyuki Tanaka (Fantastic Plastic Machine.) .
Miho Moribayashi was born in the Nagasaki Prefecture on March 30, and has been a singer-songwriter for many years. In addition to creating music as Hi-Posi, she works in TV and radio, creating music and narration for commercials.

前より光る夢を刻もう
才能に負けない情熱を
心に抱いて掴み取れ
君が日々を重ね 挫折を知り
別れに泣くそんな時も
いつも君なりの大志を抱いて
「夢を追いかけるなんて事は
才能を持ってる奴が出来る事」って捻くれては
自分を騙して生きていた
やがて似たような想いを持つ
仲間が増えて来て
いつしか不安も不可能も意識に無くなった
僕らは未だ夢の途中 答えなんて出ちゃいないけど
気分は悪くない むしろ良いくらいさ
ほら今日も生きている
さぁ君も 両手広げ 大空見上げ
「出来るはずさ」夢を刻もう
才能に負けない情熱を
心に抱いて掴み取れ
君が日々を重ね 挫折を知り
別れに泣くそんな時も
いつも君なりの大志を抱いて
夢の向こう側へ駆け抜けてゆけ
いつか偽善という言葉がもし
君の信念さえも蝕む時は強く持て
揺るがぬ想いを
自分を見失う程 周りに脅えてはいないかい?
負けねぇぞ時代 そんな気持ちで自分を解き放て yeah
Sha la la, la la la la
Sha la la la, la la la la
喜怒哀楽足して=で笑え 君の君らしさを隠さずに

明日の街を担う 少年よ今
屈折した心も晒せ
挑戦もしないで辞めるのか?
謙虚な姿勢など捨てちまえ!
もしも明日を嘆き 人を嫌い
希望さえ忘れた時は
一歩 社会の枠を飛び越えて
明日を変える程の強さ抱いて
少年よ 素晴らしい未来を描け
