Mākii (マーキー) (born August 23, 1987 in Okinawa, Japan) is a Japanese musician who was formerly the vocalist and songwriter for the Okinawa-based band High and Mighty Color. She was the youngest member of the band. She has an older brother who introduced her to the world of music and anime. When she performed at a concert in Okinawa in 2003, a scout for a record label noticed her and Anti Nobunaga. Mākii refused the offer at first, wanting to pursue her career in Canada as a solo artist and to master the English language, but she ultimately joined the band. In 2007, she debuted in her first film, Anata wo Wasurenai.
On July 1, 2008, it was announced that Mākii had married Dreams Come True bassist & producer Masato Nakamura on June 22 and would be leaving the band by the end of 2008. In her parting message, Mākii thanked her fellow band members and all of their fans for supporting her and the group for such a long time.
She resumed musical activities in 2013 under the stage name MAAKIII with her first single "Chokankakutekichikaku" (超感覚的知覚, "extrasensory perception").
two weeks and i'm pacing the floor,
saying "pull it together boy, pull it together."
i know you said you don't love me anymore,
but never say never girl, never say never.
it took too long
for me to realize i was looking at it all wrong.
and you were right,
i was trying to run, i was trying to hide.
but this is my one chance to make it right.
sophie, baby,
i know exactly where we went wrong.
sophie, maybe,
give me one more chance to stop you from moving on.
three weeks and my head is getting sore,
but pull it together boy, pull it together.
you always seem to leave me begging you for more,
but you never deliver, girl, you never deliver.
it took too long
for me to realize i was looking at it all wrong.
but now i know,
that i don't want to hide, that i want it to show.
i only get one shot so here we go:
sophie, baby,
i know exactly where we went wrong.
sophie, maybe,
give me one more chance to stop you from moving on.
i'm sorry for what never happened.
i never should've let you go.
but i am ready now to try and make it right,
to tell you what you've always known.
sophie, baby,
i know exactly where we went wrong.
sophie, maybe,
give me one more chance to stop you from moving on.
sophie, baby,
i know exactly where we went wrong.
sophie, maybe,
