The selection process, which became the reality series Nizi Project, attracted over 1,500 applicants. Miihi stood out among the crowd with her powerful vocals and dance abilities, eventually making it through the rigorous training phases that tested both her technical skills and mental resilience.

Despite the intense pressure of the elimination rounds, she consistently demonstrated growth and stability, ultimately securing the sixth position required to form the final lineup of NiziU. [edit]

NiziU officially debuted on December 9, 2020, with the digital single Make Some Noise. Their debut marked a historic moment as they became the first Japanese girl group to launch directly under a major K-pop agency without a pre-debut promotion period in Japan. The group quickly achieved success with their follow-up single Step and Step, which topped the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart. Since then, Miihi has been a central figure in the group's achievements, contributing to wins such as "Best New Artist," "Best Dance Performance," and "Rookie of the Year" at major ceremonies like the Japan Record Awards.

Within the group, Miihi holds the dual roles of lead vocalist and lead dancer. She frequently takes center stage during choreography and delivers key vocal lines in major releases such as Catch Me If You Can, Ama Nojaku, and Paradise. While NiziU operates primarily as a collective unit, Miihi has occasionally participated in variety shows and fan meetings where her individual personality, often described as energetic, slightly clumsy but endearing, and highly dedicated, is highlighted. Her contributions extend beyond studio recordings to include solo dance covers and social media challenges that allow fans to see her unique style. In 2026, she remains an active performer, contributing to the group's ongoing tours and album releases. Her ability to maintain vocal stability while performing complex choreography has solidified her reputation as a reliable and talented member of the ensemble. [edit]
