Minmi

Minmi (stylized as MINMI) (ミンミ, born December 8, 1974 in Osaka, Japan) is a Japanese hip-hop, soca, and reggae musician, as well as a singer-songwriter and record producer. She is the first soca artist from Japan. Since 2007, she has been married to Wakadanna (若旦那), a member of Japanese reggae group Shōnan no Kaze.

She began playing reggae music in Japanese clubs in 1996. Her 2002 debut single, "The Perfect Vision", went on to sell over 500,000 copies.

Biography

Minmi began playing the piano at the age of five, at which time she began to take interest in soul and jazz music. Minmi began her musical career in 1996, performing at rub-a-dub showcases and hip hop events in the clubs of Osaka. She also began to develop her own sound by making her own original tracks around this period. Minmi signed her first recording deal with JVC Records, releasing the reggae song "The Perfect Vision" as her first single in August 2002. Minmi's first single became extremely popular, and was widely accepted and heavily rotated by as many as 20 FM radio stations. "The Perfect Vision," after gradually increasing in popularity, would eventually sell over 500,000 copies. Her second single, "T.T.T.," differed stylistically, more influenced by hip-hop. The single was a moderate success, peaking in the top 10. These were followed by Minmi's debut album Miracle, which debuted at #2 and has sold more than 600,000 copies. Minmi continued her success in 2004, with her second album Imagine, which was also a high seller.

    Minmi (dinosaur)

    Minmi is a genus of small herbivorous ankylosaurian dinosaur that lived during the early Cretaceous Period of Australia, about 119 to 113 million years ago.

    Discovery and species

    In 1964, Dr Alan Bartholomai, a collaborator of the Queensland Museum, discovered a chalkstone nodule containing an ankylosaurian skeleton in Queensland near Minmi Crossing, along the Injun Road, one kilometre south of Mack Gulley, north of Roma.

    In 1980, Ralph E. Molnar named and described the type species, in this case the only species known in the genus, Minmi paravertebra. The generic name, at the time the shortest of a Mesozoic dinosaur, refers to Minmi Crossing. The meaning of "minmi" itself is uncertain; it refers to a large lily in the local aboriginal language but might also be derived from min min, a kind of will-o'-the-wisp. The specific name refers to strange bone elements found along the vertebrae, for which Molnar coined the designation paravertebrae.

    The holotype, QM F10329, was discovered in a layer of the Bungil Formation, the Minmi Member, a lagoon deposit which was first dated to the Barremian-Valanginian, but later was recalibrated to the Aptian. It consists of a partial skeleton, lacking the skull. It preserves a series of eleven back vertebrae, ribs, a right hindlimb, and plates of the belly armour. It was the first specimen of a member of the Thyreophora discovered in the Southern Hemisphere.

    All Come Together

    by: Magnum

    The morning slumbers not for me
    The sun has gone letting me down
    I wake in wonder I can see
    The rain has come turning me round
    The morning slumbers not for me
    The sun has gone letting me down
    I wake in wonder I can see
    The rain has come turning me round
    But it's alright now
    Yes it's alright now
    Cause it's all come together
    In the last few days it's been better
    All come together right now
    The seven wonders of the world
    Were broken and ready to fall
    The king lay dying all alone
    In sadness I'll always recall
    But it's alright now
    Yes it's alright now
    Cause it's all come together
    In the last few days it's been better
    All come together right now
    I had to feel good feeling good is all I need
    You have to start with sad so good means what it means
    And there's been lots of sad for me for me
    But it's alright now
    Yes it's alright now
    Cause it's all come together
    In the last few days it's been better
    All come together right now
    I think I've tumbled now at last
    I guess there ain't nothing to choose
    A fallen angel follows me
    It looks like there's no time to lose
    But it's alright now
    Yes it's alright now
    Cause it's all come together
    In the last few days it's been better
    All come together right now
    Breathing in the air feel the falling rain
