Biography
The Mirraz is a Japanese rock band formed in 2006. Showhey notes Arctic Monkeys as his main influence for his earlier/indies albums. However, since then they have moved their style and genre into a more unique direction.
The band's name, The Mirraz (ミイラズ) comes from the Japanese word for mummy (ミイラ - Miira). This can be seen from the band's mascot, a mummy named Kinoi-kun, whose name is also derived from reading the kanji for mummy as individual kanji. The design team that creates all of the goods for The Mirraz, is also named Kinoi Design for the same reason.
