This thread need people like you, regardless of replies just keep posting to this thread to keep it going, thanks againHello Everyone! I'm really glad that this thread is still thriving.
I made a subreddit about Miki.
Please make sure to check it out and join. Let's keep Miki's legacy alive!
It seems that he was just an ordinary person for his information to be on the internet. Maybe you can try to look more info about Miki's band considering that Masaki Honjo was a backing band drummer for her band.I don't know what is the source for who Masaki Honjo is there is no significant information about him online.
Oh wow, one of my favorite city pop songs sang by my favorite artist.

She spoke very good English but I spoke Japanese so we communicated in both languages.Thank you for sharing your story again Fahd. I read it with great interest. What language did you use with Miki, speaking and writing ? I'm curious if she spoke English, or maybe other languages ?
Thank you. Take care
She was very humble person, polite and had a very good sense of humor. She was also dedicated and hard working. Very friendly person God bless herI just read all of this, I've also been celebrating her birthday every year.
Thank you so much sir for sharing. I just have two questions about Matsubara, Who was she as a person; what was she like? And what was her favorite color if you can remember. I have so much gratitude for your posts and replys sir. Please be well.
No I didn't meet any of her family as they used to live in Osaka and I lived in Tokyoto shamco
Did you meet any of her family members? I heard she had a cousin who was close.
Have you been back to Japan since you left?
Shanco recently read in a Japanese newspaper that was published in the 70s/80s where Miki says that her friends and teachers laughed at her voice because they thought her voice was ugly and very harsh, she spoke to you about the insecurity she had with her voice and about the fear of singing in front of people? and there is also a magazine where she is making Arabic food, were you the one who taught her how to make this food?Não, eu não conheci ninguém da família dela porque eles moravam em Osaka e eu morava em Tóquio
Yes of course I thought her and also my Arab friends how to cook Arabic food as she used to live with me in my apartment at that time and we used to have lot of parties where all our Arab friends come to visit us. She was also very smart in learning how to cook food.Shanco recently read in a Japanese newspaper that was published in the 70s/80s where Miki says that her friends and teachers laughed at her voice because they thought her voice was ugly and very harsh, she spoke to you about the insecurity she had with her voice and about the fear of singing in front of people? and there is also a magazine where she is making Arabic food, were you the one who taught her how to make this food?

Probably you are right I can't really remember but it was the company who sponsored her at that time. It has been more than half a century since then and it's hard to remember all detailsfahd you said that victoria records made you and miki break up at the end of 1982 because they didn't want the public to know that miki was dating, but miki only signed a contract with victoria records in 1987. were you confused?
It's certainly difficult to remember something that happened so long ago, I also wanted to ask about Miki's most famous composition, stay with me/mayonaka no door, you once said that Miki may have been inspired by you to write this song , how did she compose this song? Do you remember her in her room writing or something? Did she talk to you about the composition?Probably you are right I can't really remember but it was the company who sponsored her at that time.

I didn't say she was inspired by me but I did tell her that I liked that song and encouraged her to sing it in her first concert and album.It's certainly difficult to remember something that happened so long ago, I also wanted to ask about Miki's most famous composition, stay with me/mayonaka no door, you once said that Miki may have been inspired by you to write this song , how did she compose this song?

fahd please talk a little about Miki's "stay with me" competition do you really think she was inspired by you when writing this song? Do you remember her writing? What did she tell you about music?As it has been long time I may have made mistakes in earlier posts some of which were typo error
We met in 1978 and until 1981
Her first sponsor I thought it was Victor Studio but honestly I am not sure but they were pain in the *** as they didn't want us to meet each other at that time for unknown reasons.
Sorry for any mistake or typo error mentioned earlier
She knew I liked the song very much so I won't say it was inspiration but she also liked it and I encouraged her to sing that song which was written and composed for her by her music team. Mike was very smart in music and she knew that Stay With Me will be a hit songfahd please talk a little about Miki's "stay with me" competition do you really think she was inspired by you when writing this song?

Você disse que seus amigos árabes iam na sua casa onde você fazia festas, você ainda tem contato com esses amigos, tem alguém ou algum amigo seu dessa época com quem você mantém contato? Seria muito importante ver a versão desta história dos seus amigos mais próximosEla sabia que eu gostava muito da música, então não vou dizer que foi uma inspiração, mas ela também gostou e eu a incentivei a cantar aquela música que foi escrita e composta para ela por sua equipe musical. Mike era muito inteligente na música e ela sabia que Stay With Me seria um hit
sim, estamos todos juntos, claro, mas cada um está ocupado com sua vida. já temos mais de 65 anos e temos famílias para cuidar, então não há tempo a perder com questões secundárias, como meu relacionamento com MikiVocê disse que seus amigos árabes iam na sua casa onde você fazia festas, você ainda tem contato com esses amigos, tem alguém ou algum amigo seu dessa época com quem você mantém contato?
