At a very young age, Miz expressed a great interest and talent in music. She always wanted to become one of the singers on the radio, but living in such a rural area as Hokkaidō, there were very few opportunities for her. One of Miz's biggest hobbies during her high school years was going to a local beauty salon. And since she was a regular customer, she became very good friends with the salon manager.
At this time there was held a talent competition, with advertising posters put up in over 20,000 beauty salons all over Japan. The salon owner suggested that Miz enter the contest, which she won ahead of hundreds of other competitors.
After graduating high school, she moved to Tokyo. Soon afterward, she was signed under Universal Victor and, under her real name, released I WILL, her debut single. Following that, she also released another single called Ambition, but she wasn't asked to release anything else after that. Both singles are now out of print in most Japanese CD stores.
After the release of Ambition, her career stalled. She kept taking singing lessons at a studio, and eventually made a demo tape with the help of a writer. Soon, she was introduced to a producer named Tord Bäckström, who was looking for someone to perform a song written by a Swedish writer. In 2003, Miz travelled to Sweden, and her debut single, Waiting, debuted in the charts at #8. Her album, Story Untold, emerged on the scene on September 22, 2004 and contains 10 all-English songs.
By that time, she had also released some other music. Her Japanese re-debut single New Day came out that same year, debuting at #20 on Oricon charts. To promote her first Japanese album, Say It's Forever, Miz was invited to a Channel V-hosted concert in Taiwan along with other local and foreign artists, where she performed 3 songs, "New Day"", Waiting for", and "Say It's Forever". Also, she attended a show AIUEO to gain more publicity in her short visit, the host was apparently her friend before she made her major debut in Japan. She became one of the most popular Japanese artists in Taiwan that year.
After releasing her second album Mizrock in February 2006, Miz disappeared for a long while. In May 2007, however, her official website was updated with news of a new release coming in July. Other websites such as ORICON and Tower Records confirmed this news, listing a mini-album titled Good bye, yesterday to be released under the name "Mizrock." It is also with this album that Miz moved from Victor Interactive to Nayutawave Records.
In June 2007, "Good bye, yesterday" from her Good bye, yesterday album was used as the second ending song for the popular anime, Romeo X Juliet.
October 2007 she released a new single, "Best Friend" and in February 2008 she will release another single titled, "Thank You".
On May 3, 2010, Miz updated her blog with a link to information regarding her new single, Faraway. Faraway marks Miz's return to the name "Miz" after four years. Faraway was released on May 26, 2010.

Got It
Miz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't let go
No matter what I do
I'm stuck like I'm glued to you
But, I would if I could say no
I've got it bad for you
Cold feet don't dance so well,
I've got something on my heart
You are no good for me
So if you love me
Set me free
You pour your honey down my ears
And there's sugar in your tears
But, the attraction that I feel I just can't erase
It's such a naked disgrace
* repeat
I say goodbye, but then you cry
I lick the sugar in your tears
Coz the feeling that I got I just can't erase
I've gone astray in your embrace
* repeat
I would if I could say no
But I can't let go
No matter what I do
I'm stuck like I'm glued to you
And I can't say no
No, no
I've got it bad for you
I've got it bad for you,
and there's no cure
It ain't no little fling
It's a chemical thing
* repeat 2x
The lyrics of Miz's song "Got It" reflect the complicated and conflicting emotions of being in a toxic relationship. Despite knowing that the other person is no good for him, the singer cannot help but feel a strong attraction towards them. The opening lines "I would if I could say no, but I can't let go" highlight this struggle to break free from the relationship, even though it's clearly not healthy for him.
The lyrics also address the power dynamics that often exist in such relationships. The other person showers the singer with compliments and sweet words, but ultimately, they are just using their honeyed words to keep the singer tethered to them. The line "you pour your honey down my ears, and there's sugar in your tears" is a clear indication of this manipulation and emotional abuse.
The singer acknowledges that they have "got it bad" for the other person and there seems to be no cure for this chemical attraction that they feel. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song further highlights this sense of being stuck and trapped in a cycle of love and pain.
