mihimaru GT is a duet made up of composer, lyricist and vocalist, Miyake (miCKun) as well as vocalist and lyricist Hiroko. The group was formed due to the joint management of the two members during their solo careers. Before forming mihimaru GT, each member had a relatively quiet career with little to no major hits. To remind each other that the success of the group is from contributions from both members, the name mihimaru GT was created for the band, taking the first two letters in each members' last name and adding "maru" or "perfection" to the end of it as well as the initials for Miyake's favorite video game--Gran Turismo.
Unlike many other groups, mihimaru GT will often record songs featuring only one of their members, though because of each members' background, they are both involved with every song in some way. hiroko is usually responsible for the main melody of the song, whereas miyake is featured in the rap that may appear in a song. The band is known for its urban and pop oriented songs as well as slow ballad oriented songs.
Prior to 2006, they've had an average career, with their singles ranking no higher than #16 on the ORICON charts. In 2006, however, their single "Kibun Jojo" became the commerical song for DARIYA's "Palty" and music.jp's commercial theme, as well as the ending theme for the variety program "SUKIBARA." The triple tie-up gave them lots of exposure and more people began to take notice of them. On May 5, 2006, they performed on the popular music show MUSIC STATION and was featured on the "YOUNG GUNS" corner. The appearance on the show boosted their popularity and made "Kibun Jojo" onto the #7 spot on the ORICON charts. From then on, their career has been doing well and popularity rising steadily, with "Itsumademo Hibiku Kono Melody/Magical Speaker" reaching as high as #3 on the ORICON charts.
From then on, their sales peaked and eventually bottomed out, though "Itsumademo Hibiku Kono Melody/Magical Speaker" managed to reach as high as #3 on the Oricon charts.
In 2013, the group went on indefinite hiatus.

mihimaru GT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
後悔なんかしたくない
僕は強くなりたい
昨日よりもずっとずっと
One Time Two Time Three Time
何度でも挑戦
僕は強くなりたい
今日よりもずっとずっと
愛する小さな街離れ
大きな夢を叶える
その為に涙を流した
ゆっくりと歩き出した
今は大切なモノは置いて
今はアルバムは閉じて
現実を拾い集め
羽ばたく準備を始める
きっと苦しい事もある
もっと楽しい事もある
少しずつドラマを演じ
焦らずに上げる経験値
一生懸命にもがき
この胸を熱く焦がし
大切な何かを探そう
新しい空に手をかざそう
忘れないよ あなたのこと
自由が僕を独りにしても
光を探す 旅は続いてく
「ただいま」って言えるその日まで
One Time One Night
後悔なんかしたくない
僕は強くなりたい
昨日よりもずっとずっと
One Time Two Time Three Time
何度でも挑戦
僕は強くなりたい
今日よりもずっとずっと
現実と向かい合う中で
気づけば涙は枯れる
その度に傷つく心は
感覚を無くしてしまった
未だ手に出来ないセオリーと
未だ歌えないメロディ
精一杯の強がり
「失うものなんてない」
きっと明日は変わるはず
もっと強くもなれるはず
少しだけ後悔も愛し
書き換えてゆく1ページ
立ち止まり何度でも叫び
負けたって何度でも前に
その先の未来を語ろう
新しい空に手をかざそう
信じているよ たどり着く事
夢が僕を苦しめても
この空の下 旅は続いてく
「ただいま」って言えるその日まで
One Time One Night
後悔なんかしたくない
僕は強くなりたい
昨日よりもずっとずっと
One Time Two Time Three Time
何度でも挑戦
僕は強くなりたい
今日よりもずっとずっと
散らかり放題の部屋と心を
尻目に今日も飛び出してく
怪しい空模様に齷齪(あくせく)
夢で終わらせないと初志貫徹
妥協と挫折と後悔と
もうダメだと思ったことも何回も
大事なのは 愛すんだ
自分が切り開き選んだ道をただ
もう一度歩き出すの
忘れないよ あなたのこと
自由が僕を独りにしても
光を探す 旅は続いてく
「ただいま」って言えるその日まで
One Time One Night
後悔なんかしたくない
僕は強くなりたい
昨日よりもずっとずっと
One Time Two Time Three Time
何度でも挑戦
僕は強くなりたい
今日よりもずっとずっと

散らかり放題の部屋と心を
My disorganized room and heart
尻目に今日も飛び出してく
Glimpsing over my shoulder, I jump out again today
怪しい空模様に齷齪(あくせく)
Feeling uneasy about the suspicious weather
夢で終わらせないと初志貫徹
To achieve my original goal without letting it end in a dream
妥協と挫折と後悔と
Compromises, setbacks, and regrets
もうダメだと思ったことも何回も
I've already thought "This is it, I can't do it" so many times
大事なのは 愛すんだ
What's important is to love
自分が切り開き選んだ道をただ
Just the path I've chosen and paved for myself
もう一度歩き出すの
I'll start walking again
