Miku Sawai (沢井 美空 Sawai Miku, born September 16, 1993) is a Japanese musician from Osaka who is signed to Sony Music Entertainment Japan. She made her debut as a professional artist in 2011 with the release of her first single "Atashi, Kyō, Shitsuren Shimashita". Her music has been used as theme songs to various anime television series such as Kimi to Boku, Kill la Kill, Akame ga Kill, and Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend.
Sawai was born in Osaka on September 16, 1993. She wrote several poems for school beginning in her elementary years, but after becoming a fan of the singer Yui in her junior high school years, she decided to become a singer-songwriter. She auditioned with Sony Music Entertainment Japan in 2009, which lead to her being called to Tokyo. She recorded four songs at their studio and was offered a contract, while she was still studying in high school. She made her major debut in 2011 with the release of her first single "Atashi, Kyō, Shitsuren Shimashita" (あたし、今日、失恋しました。) on May 11, 2011; the single charted at 110 on the Oricon weekly charts. Due to her work as a singer, she had to transfer to a high school in Tokyo in order to continue her studies. She released her second single "Nakimushi" (なきむし。) on November 16, 2011; the single's title track was used as the ending theme to the 2011 anime television series Kimi to Boku.
In 2012 she released two singles: "Sotsugyō Memories (Sayonara, Anata)" (卒業メモリーズ〜サヨナラ、あなた。〜 Sotsugyō memorīzu 〜sayonara, anata.〜) and "Yubiwa (Atashi, Kyō, Kekko Shimasu)" (指輪〜あたし、今日、結婚します。〜 Yubiwa 〜atashi, kyō, kekkon shimasu.〜).
