Minami Takayama Shiina Nagano |
Two-Mix (temporarily known as MIX⊿DELTA) is a Japanese pop music group formed in 1995 by Minami Takayama (vocals and composer) and Shiina Nagano (synthesizer, composer, and lyricist). Their style is fast electronic pop.
They met in the early 1990s. Minami, already well-established as a voice actress, was in the indie band Re-X and met Shiina through a friend. Minami released a solo album in 1992, Endless Communication which Shiina contributed to. They formed a group together Es Connexion and released an album. In 1995 they formed Two-Mix.
They have been featured in anime such as Gundam Wing and Detective Conan (in which the title character, Conan Edogawa, is voiced by Minami. They also made a guest appearance in one of the episode in which they were kidnapped and saved by Conan and his friends).
In 1999, Two-Mix produced Miru Takayama (a cousin of Minami) and in 2000 Miru and Minami formed M*TWO-MinaMiru-.
In 2005, Minami and Shiina were joined by Joe Rinoie as an additional singer and composer, changing the group's name to MIX⊿DELTA for a limited time.
In 2008, Shiina started his solo music project ShiinaTactix-Music, featuring different female vocalists, Sanae Kobayashi, Yoko Hikasa and Mutsumi Tamura.
In 2013, Two-Mix released a digital download single "T-R-Y: Next / Across The End: Platinum Stream" and Shiina composed the music for a song "Rhythm Linkage" with Yoko Hikasa in her album "Hikasa Yoko Collaboration Album Glamorous Songs".
In 2014, Shiina composed the music for a song "Reboot Tactics" with Kaori Sadohara(from Sweet Arms) in their album "Trigger".
