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.

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.

Mirror Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who was about to steal a violin from the man who goes with the trend
And now the people just stand around waiting for the end
'Cos when the lights go off in New York City huh the girls go 'round the bend
And now we think of the president in the White House full of fraud
You know they treat him like a second king, you know they treat him like the Lord
Oh when the lights went off in New York City, the band began to play
And Andy Warhol's painting stands in Manhattan Square today
'Cos when the lights go off in New York City, the girls all run away
So we think of the president fighting for the race
You know he's trying to find his freedom now, you know he's trying to find his face
When the lights went off in New York City the people scurried 'round
Some were trying to hit the top, some went underground
And now that there is no one left to inform you of the sound
One that the shotguns made in New York City while the people stood and drowned
Again we think of the president in the White House full of fear
How he's trying to make his position felt, how he never shed a tear
The lights went off in New York City
The lights went off in New York City
The lights went off in New York City
The lights went off
The lyrics to Mirror's song "City Lights" describe a chaotic and disarrayed New York City when the lights go off. The song touches on various themes such as friendship, rebellion, fame, and political corruption.
The opening lines mention how when the lights go off in New York City, people search for companionship and find solace in each other's company. The reference to someone stealing a violin from a trendy man suggests a desire to break away from societal norms and expectations.
The lyrics then shift to criticizing the president, portraying him as someone who is held in high regard but is actually full of falsehoods and deception. The mention of treating him like a second king or Lord reflects the idolization and misplaced trust placed in political leaders.
As the song progresses, it emphasizes the chaos that ensues when the lights go off in the city. People gather to witness the unfolding events, and there is an atmosphere of anticipation and dread. The lyrics also allude to Andy Warhol's influence, suggesting that his artistic legacy still remains significant in Manhattan Square.
The mention of the girls running away when the lights go off hints at the vulnerability and fear that arises in such situations. Additionally, the lyrics continue to critique the president, highlighting his struggles to maintain power and identity.
Overall, "City Lights" portrays a city engulfed in darkness, where people adapt to the circumstances, rebellion emerges, and the corrupt nature of those in power is exposed.
