1) Keiko Yorichika (頼近恵子), better known by her stage name MEG (メグ), born October 3, 1980 in Chiyoda, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, is a Japanese singer-songwriter, composer, fashion designer, and model. Initially an indies musician when she debuted in 2001, MEG became a prominent artist with her fashion label CAROLINA GLASER and her musical collaborations with Japanese electronic producer Yasutaka Nakata (中田ヤスタカ) of capsule, with whom she first collaborated with in 2006.
MEG's first introduction to music was through the piano, which she has played since childhood. At the age of 20, she auditioned for an indie record company, BURGER INN RECORDS, singing "It's Gonna Rain!," and passed. She made her indie debut on November 28, 2001 with 傘としずく ("Kaza to Shizuku"), known as simply meg. This was also around the time MEG started modeling for magazines like CUTIE and Non-no.
On July 10, 2002 MEG made her major label debut with the single スキャンティ ブルース ("scanty blues"), produced by Okamura Yasuyuki, on the label DREAMMACHINE (a label on Warner Music Japan). Her second single was a double a-side; one track was the cover song イケナイコトカイ ("Ikenai Koto Kai"), and it was coupled with her indie song "Kasa to Shizuku." However, it is rumored that Okamura quit producing MEG after this single due to her attitude. But this didn't hinder MEG as she released two more singles (光露 ("Kouro") and "GROOVE TUBE") along with her debut major album, room girl.
In July of 2004, MEG created a clothing line for the store klein mart TOKYO called cheryl. There was only one release in 2004, the single "STEREO04" which was released instead by the indie label LSN Records. Developing her brand took most of her time in 2005 as it was quieter with music releases.
In January of 2006, she began to go by MEG, and in February she changed the name of her clothing line from cheryl to Carolina Glaser by cheryl. MEG then released two singles, "ROCKSTAR" and "DAWN," along with her second album Dithyrambos, all through SHAMPOO NINE RECORDS (her own indie label). A remix on Dithyrambos marks her first work with 中田ヤスタカ (Nakata Yasutaka).
In early 2007, Hiroshi Nakamura (i-dep) collaborated with and produced MEG's first mini album, aquaberry. This was released through AZ tribe (on RAINBOW ENTERTAINMENT). Her ninth single, 甘い贅沢 ("Amai Zeitaku"), was released through SHAMPOO NINE RECORDS on May 30 and was the first to be produced by Nakata Yasutaka. Her second single "OK" was her second major debut single after being signed to Universal Music Japan. The release of the album BEAM two months later was her first album to be produced by Nakata. In 2008, she released "MAGIC" and "HEART," which were included a short six months later on her fourth album, STEP.
MEG has also collaborated with Hadouken! on her single, "FREAK," and released her fifth album, BEAUTIFUL. She released another mini album, Journey, on August 26, 2009, which was produced by The Shanghai Restoration Project. MEG released her seventh full-length album, Maverick, on June 23, 2010 featuring the single "SECRET ADVENTURE" (the b-side "GRAY" would become an a-side as it was also featured on MAVERICK).
In July 2010, MEG would inform fans through her blog that she would be leaving Universal Music Japan and traveling to Paris for a break. She then released a double a-side single "PASSPORT/PARIS" on August 25, 2010 and a best album BEST FLIGHT on September 29, 2010, which would be her final release through Universal Japan. The Terminal A version of the album, which was limited, came with a t-shirt made by MEG and a DVD that includes the music videos for "PARIS" and "SECRET ADVENTURE," while Terminal B comes with a bonus CD containing acoustic arrangements of five songs and eight remixes.
In 2011, MEG returned to Warner Music via the newly launched Unborde Records and starting June 20, she began releasing monthly digital singles exclusively through the French iTunes store.
In 2012, MEG signed to Starchild Records (a label on King Records, now defunct) and released 2 albums: LA JAPONAISE, which features all of her singles released for the French iTunes store, WEAR I AM, that features the singles TRAP (a collaboration with Yasuyuki Okamura), and other collaborations with many artists, such as Yasuharu Konishi, Taku Takahashi from m-flo, and many more.
In 2013, MEG released CONTINUE, which has an RPG concept.
Her most recent activity in music was in 2020, with STAY WITH ME starring MEG, a collaboration with RAM RIDER.
Although she is now focused on her cosmetic brands "baw" and "ply", she is now signed with King Records' Evil Line Records, after the dissolution of Starchild. She's also under the Asobi System company.

WHY
Meg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like why'd you waste my time?
Why did I not see the signs?
Why'd I ever call you mine?
God, it's so embarrassing
Staring at a list of names
Thinking 'bout feelings that I could've saved, ahh
Say I'm grateful for what they taught me
But no way in hell I could keep a straight face
I bet my name's a touchy conversation
But I can't say the same thing
For your information
I don't have exes I have why's
Like why'd you waste my time?
Why did I not see the signs?
Why'd I ever call you mine?
There's no exes only why's
Like why was I so blind?
Maybe that's the reason why
All my exes look like why, why's
Fuck up in a simulation
That's the only explanation
Press never again and then would it restart
The first was a cheater, the second a fake
The third never even defined the relationship
Till it come to the breakup, shit
I'll let you win this now
You got your wish, your name won't leave my lips
'Cause we never existed
I don't have exes I have why's
Like why'd you waste my time?
Why did I not see the signs?
Why'd I ever call you mine?
There's no exes only why's
Like why was I so blind?
Maybe that's the reason why
All my exes look like why's
I bet my name's a touchy conversation
Sorry, I can't say the same thing
You're mad about it, but I'm not
I don't have exes I have why's
Like why'd you waste my time?
Why did I not see the signs?
Why'd I ever call you mine?
There's no exes only why's
Like why was I so blind?
Maybe that's the reason why
All my exes look like why, why's
The lyrics of Meg's song 'WHY' explore her perspective on past relationships and the lingering questions that arise from them. She expresses her frustration and confusion, referring to her exes as "why's" instead. Meg wonders why these partners wasted her time, why she didn't see the warning signs, and why she ever considered them as hers. She finds it embarrassing to reflect on these feelings and memories and wishes she could be like Ari, who is grateful for what she has learned from her past relationships. However, Meg admits that she can't keep a straight face and is unable to adopt that mindset.
The chorus emphasizes Meg's perspective further, emphasizing that she doesn't have exes but rather unanswered questions. She reflects on her blindness and the possible reason why her exes all seem questionable. Meg implies that being involved with these individuals was a messy experience, describing it as a simulation with restarts. She highlights the flaws and disappointments in each relationship, such as cheating, fakeness, and lack of definition. Despite this, Meg acknowledges that the other person wanted her out of their life, but she won't let their name be spoken because their relationship never truly existed.
Overall, 'WHY' is a relatable and introspective song that delves into the frustration of not understanding why certain relationships didn't work out and the lingering questions that arise from those experiences.
