Former lead singer of J-pop trio Day After Tomorrow, Misono made her solo debut with the self-penned single "VS" in March 2006. The song went Top Five and remains her most successful single to date, spending more than two months on the charts and selling 40,000 copies. "VS" was also the theme song to the Nintendo DS role-playing game Tales of the Tempest. Since then, Misono has released a string of singles, including the Top Ten hit "Lovely Cat's Eye," a spunky guitar pop number that is more representative of her sound than the dance-oriented "VS." Misono has turned to a variety of musical collaborators, including Hidekazu Hinata of pop-punk band Straightener, and alternative rockers Go!Go!7188, who respectively produced the 2007 singles "Zasetsu Chiten" and "Jyunin Toiro." ~ David Hickey
