Mili is a Japanese indie music group founded in August 2012, consisting of Cassie Wei, Yamato Kasai, Yukihito Mitomo, Shoto Yoshida, and Ao Fujimori. Mili covers electronic classical, contemporary classical, and post-classical genres of music[2] and is not limited to songs in Japanese, but also in English, Chinese, and French. Aside from releasing their own songs, Mili has also contributed their music, lyrics, and/or songs to various media such as video games, commercial video, and for other artists.[3] Mili is labeled under Saihate Records; as of October 2019 and announced in April 2020, they have separated from their music management company.[1][4]
The group's YouTube channel is considered exceptional within the indie world, exceeding 500,000 YouTube subscribers.[5] Three of their released CDs took the first places in Oricon Indies chart, as well as appearing in Summer Sonic for two consecutive years since 2017.[6] The group is named after the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, "Dear Mili."[7]
