miao (ミャオ) is an idol group formed on January 1, 2021 through popular fashion magazine, Larme. They held an unveiling event on February 14, 2021.
Auditions were held in Autumn 2020 wherein 14 members were selected from 2000 applicants. The group is primarily supported by Larme and used to represent them visually, while former AKB48 and NMB48 member, Ichikawa Miori is the group's choreographer.
Their concept is cat, ribbon and pink.
On December 28, 2022 they announced that their contract with Forza Records would end on January 8, 2023 and that the group would continue its activities under a different company[1]. All singles released under Forza Records have since been removed from streaming services.
