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.
Dear my friend
Hi-Posi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get back to what was mine
Get away from my sweet crazy life
Hey, good buddy, it's been a while (been a while)
How are things for you up there (you up there)
This is all I need to know
I'm here you're there now
Sorry, but I have to say
It feels good to be alive
Go my way, nobody gonna bring me down
If I get lost in the dark (in the dark)
Can you tell me what went wrong (what went wrong)
If I fall down in the dirt
Can you lend a hand
The sky is blue, the sun, it shines
It's the same for everyone
You and I will meet again
So I won't say good-bye
Dear my friend
Now you have your freedom
Dear my friend
Can you hear? I'm calling dear my friend
Hey! Where are you now?
Just stay there? Hey!
What is love, what is happiness, what am I
Past, present, and future
Life is going, life is going
If I get lost in the dark (in the dark)
Can you tell me what went wrong (what went wrong)
If I fall down in the dirt
Can you lend a hand
The sky is blue, the sun, it shines
It's the same for everyone
You and I will meet again
So I won't say good-bye
Dear my friend
Now you have your freedom
Dear my friend
Can you hear? I'm calling dear my friend
Dear my friend
Now you have your freedom
Dear my friend, oh, dear my friend
Can you hear? I'm calling dear my friend
Ah
The lyrics of Hi-Posi's song "Dear My Friend" convey a sense of distance between two friends, possibly due to their busy lives.

The singer sheds light on the transient nature of life and the importance of the bonds that people share, reminding the listener that they're not alone.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Dear my friend," calling out to the friend that the singer has been speaking of. The song captures a sense of longing and nostalgia for the moments and memories that the two friends shared. The verses ask poignant questions like "What is love, what is happiness, what am I?" These introspective lines speak to the idea of self-awareness and the journey that people go on to fully understand themselves.
Overall, "Dear My Friend" is a song that speaks to the universal experiences of longing, introspection, and connection. It reminds us that even though life may take us in different directions, our friendships have the ability to transcend time and space.
