MIRROR officially debuted on 3 November 2018, and they released their debut single "In a Second" (Chinese: 一秒間) on 25 November 2018. Mirror have been described by local and international media as "the new kings of Cantopop" and a "Cantopop phenomenon". They are credited for reviving the Cantopop genre, which had been slowly declining since the 2000s. Mirror's appeal in Hong Kong transcends demographics, and the group is regarded as a "symbol of hope" in a city struggling with political upheaval and the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 1973 the band expanded its line-up with the addition of Philip de Goey on saxophone, woodwinds, and oboe. Their sole album was recorded over six days at the Stable Studio in Arnhem, The Netherlands. The album was titled Daybreak and was released in 1976, pressed in only 500 copies. The music is mainly instrumental and is influenced by Focus, Yes, and Pink Floyd. After the release of the album Mirror toured their native Holland extensively. But internal disagreements soon led to the departure of Johan Saanen and the band finally split up in late 1976.

UPDATED INFORMATION FOR : Mirror (Moscow):
MIRROR is a rock/metal band from Germany, founded by Mike Breeze, who was born in Moscow and moved to Germany after he graduated school.
MIRROR use lots of incfluences, such as visual kei, glam, gothic, classical music and folklore (mostly Russian), that create an original kaleidoscopic sound.
MIRROR released 2 albums:
"Shocking Debut" (2007),
"Valentine's Eve" (2012)
and 4 singles (each including non-album tracks):
"Red Dye" (2006),
"Heart Of Ice" (2007),
"Valentine" (2008),
"Glitter Critter" (2012).
MIRROR had played the first gig in 2002 and since the second gig in 2004 the line-up never changed:
Mike Breeze (vocals, piano, bass, balalaika, occasional guitars),
Ramin Andarmani (guitars, backing vocals)
Ian Weid (drums, backing vocals).
In 2005 Mike played a solo piano gig featuring mostly piano versions of Mirror songs, and Leif Astroid (aka Dancette Pleasure from German glam rock band The Pleasures) sang "Heart Of Ice" as special guest.
It worked so well that Mike and Leif decided to continue joint work in the studio, as well as on stage.
At first, it all took place as part of MIRROR recordings and live gigs, and sometimes as "Mike+Leif" live gigs - as a kind of side project.
The duet gradually evolved into a real band and the name SOLOWSHOW* was chosen.
SOLOWSHOW* concentrates on unplugged music in the studio and live, while the music is influenced by the same rock / metal, / visual kei / glam / goth kaleidoscope like MIRROR's music, plus lots of drama and cabaret elements.
SOLOWSHOW*'s line-up never changed since its first appearance in 2005:
Mike Breeze (piano, acoustic guitar, vocals),
Leif Astroid (lead vocals, keyboards, occasional percussion).
SOLOWSHOW* released an album that was titled after the band's style with the self-created word "Visuacoustic" (2012).
After that, the band immediately started working on the 2nd album...
The single "The Won" (2014) was first aired on 23. May 2014, Friday, ~6 pm CET (Berlin time) - ~midnight EST (Pennsylvania time) on American DJ CyberMusicLover's show on Power92-Radio.com (also aired via Nokia, Nobex, Global, Virtual Radio, Radio Tuna, Tunein Radio, iTunes).
SOLOWSHOW* constantly tour all over Germany and sometimes in Mike's home country - Russia, but also plan to expand their territories.

唱：Mirror
曲：李拾壹
詞：王樂儀 / 李拾壹
好想走出曠野 為你唱詩
掌聲響了 大半天
好想打開眼界 讓你叫囂
標準多了 我愈渺小
看不見 看不見 已失去 我的焦點
一位位擦過我身旁 人海之中卻變得迷惘 誰是我
不想當 世界的羊 重複一種快樂
迎合多 投入麼
我剩低手中那面鏡子 卻蕩失於光線裡邊
要分辨 我的臉
(時代在我的背面 誰在劃破這塊臉)
憤怒一手打破鏡面
渴望一刻粉碎裡邊
我在變 我在變
(期待或有新發現 無懼地探索一次)
Whoa-oh
Ha
變甚麼
變一束光
好想擺脫眼光 (好想走出曠野 為你唱詩)
困惑中可掩蓋耳朵 (掌聲響了 大半天)
有風浪 去闖蕩 (聽不見 聽不見 我聲線 太多紛擾)
拋開身邊的鏡 會望透麼 (好想打開眼界 讓你叫囂)
輕率的跨出界線 到達遠方 (標準多了 我愈渺小)
會失落 卻希望 (看不見 看不見 已失去 我的焦點)
仲記唔記得 最初你最深刻嗰一刻
記唔記得 當你迷失
幾多次再放肆再嘗試
打破 宿命
唔甘心繼續無謂去
追求 安定
指針卻慢慢偏離 落力追求過完美
迷住你 圍住我
一些掌聲未夠我歡喜
咁係咪叫做完美
我醒起 我醒起
我醒起 我醒起
我最著緊嘅可能係昨天嘅自己
破著身邊所有鏡子
要捕捉於光線裡邊
我的臉 我的臉
(時代在我的背面 誰在劃破這塊臉)
慶幸一手打破鏡面
奮力歸於一刻粉碎裡邊
會分裂 會閃現
(期待或有新發現 無懼地探索一次）
Whoa-oh
Ha
破更多
靈魂換新感覺
燦爛到
刺眼麼
會有千種晨光
此刻粉碎 我為了碎片
一起摔破 最大鏡子
會找到 你的臉 我的臉 有光一閃
此刻改變 我為了某天
風聲響了 繼續探險
破的臉 碎的臉 看得見 我的焦點
The lyrics of the song "破鏡" by Mirror reflect the desire to break free from societal expectations and norms. The singer expresses a longing to escape the constraints of conformity and performative acts for validation from others. The imagery of a mirror symbolizes self-reflection and introspection, as well as the pressure to conform to certain standards and expectations. The chorus highlights the desire for transformation and self-discovery, breaking free from the constraints of societal norms and finding one's true identity.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of identity and self-discovery, as the singer confronts the pressure to conform and the struggle to break free from societal expectations. The repetition of phrases like "我聲線太多紛擾" and "已失去我的焦點" conveys a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of societal pressures. The song urges listeners to reject conformity and embrace their true selves, even if it means breaking away from the expectations imposed by others.
The imagery of breaking mirrors and shattering illusions symbolizes the process of shedding false identities and uncovering one's true self. The lyrics suggest a longing for freedom from external validation and a willingness to embrace the unknown and the unexplored. The repeated motif of breaking mirrors and seeking new discoveries reflects a desire for personal growth and transformation, even if it means stepping into the unknown and facing uncertainty.
Ultimately, the song "破鏡" by Mirror conveys a powerful message of self-discovery, transformation, and breaking free from societal constraints. The lyrics encourage listeners to embrace their true selves, challenge societal expectations, and embark on a journey of self-exploration and personal growth. Through the imagery of breaking mirrors and uncovering one's true identity, the song highlights the importance of authenticity, self-acceptance, and the freedom to explore one's own path independent of external influences.
