Since then Michihiro has pursued a solo career. Michihiro has released 6 CDs and videos, along with 3 books. In 2007 he teamed up with Iceman guitarist Kenichi Ito once again for a more rock oriented group known as Scarecrow. The group has released a single, titled "Steal your misery".
He is probably most well known for singing "Shining Collection" from the Gravitation anime or for the ending song "Yakusoku" from Elemental Gelade, and singing "Futatsu no Mirai" from Rockman EXE.
