Miyabi Natsuyaki (夏焼 雅, Natsuyaki Miyabi, born August 25, 1992, Chiba Prefecture) is a Japanese singer. Her career began in 2002 when she passed the audition for Hello! Project Kids, an all-female adolescent pop group under Hello! Project. She continued to sing in that group and became a part of four smaller groups composed of Hello! Project Kids members—Aa!, Sexy Otonajan, Buono! and Berryz Kobo. She was the sub-captain of Berryz Kobo until their indefinite hiatus in 2015. She is now a member of female pop band PINK CRES., short for Pink Crescendo.

History

In 2002, Natsuyaki successfully passed the Hello! Project Kids' Audition alongside the other members of Berryz Kobo. As a member of Berryz Kobo, she participated in the band's weekly radio show Berryz Kobo Kiritsu! Rei! Chakuseki!. That same year, she was cast in "Koinu Dan no Monogatari", however she did not have a large part due to her age. Many members of Hello! Project Kids and Morning Musume participated in this film.

In 2004, all of Hello! Project participated in a large shuffle group that produced one single, "All For One & One For All!". This song is considered one of the themes of Hello! Project. In addition to the H.P. All Stars, she was placed in two shuffle units, Aa! and Sexy Otonajan. The group was made up of Miki Fujimoto from Morning Musume, Megumi Murakami from Cute and Miyabi. They only produced one song called "Onna, Kanashii, Otona".[1]

Earlier, in 2003, she was chosen to join the group Aa!, which consisted of fellow Hello! Project Kids member Airi Suzuki and was led by then Morning Musume member Reina Tanaka. The group released only one single titled "First Kiss," on October 29, 2003.[2] The group went on hiatus until the Hello! Project 2009 Summer tour at which many old shuffle units were renewed.[3] During these concerts, Reina Tanaka was replaced by Saho Akari, since Reina had joined the unit High King. The unit released one song, titled "YES YES YES" as part of the "Happy Wedding Song Cover" album released by Hello! Project.[4]

Miyabi went on to become a member of Buono! alongside Berryz Kobo group-mate Momoko Tsugunaga and Airi Suzuki from Cute. The unit was officially announced at the Nakayoshi magazine Festival 2007 on July 21, 2007, at Tokyo's Sunshine City in Ikebukuro.[5] They were formed to sing both the opening ("Kokoro no Tamago") and ending ("Honto no Jibun") themes for the anime adaptation of the Shugo Chara! manga.[5] Buono! continued to record the ending and opening themes for the first season of the anime. During the second season, Buono! only recorded the ending themes, as the opening themes were handled by Shugo Chara Egg! and Guardians 4, two other groups formed for the sake of performing Shugo Chara! music.[6][7]

Berryz Kobo Hiatus and PINK CRES.

On August 2nd of 2014, Berryz Kobo announced they were to go on an indefinite hiatus.[8] They released their last single, "Romance wo Katatte/Towa no Uta", on November 11th of 2014.[9] Shortly after, they released their final album, a collection of all their songs titled "The Final Completion Box", on January 21st of 2015.[10] They held their final concert on March 3rd, 2015, their 11th anniversary.[11] Miyabi took a one-month break and then announced she would be part of the youtube show "Green Room" with fellow former Berryz Kobo member Chinami Tokunaga, which was uploaded weekly and centered around the behind the scenes aspects of Up Front Group members.[12]

During an August of 2015 episode of "Green Room", Miyabi announced she would begin auditions for a new girl group on July 1st of 2015.[13] After an unsuccessful first round, the auditions restarted on September 25th of 2015. [14] Two applicants were successful during round two of auditions, Kobayashi Hikaru and Nihei Yuuka. The group lessons were documented on the youtube channel Upcoming, leading up to their debut at Buono!'s 2016 Buono! Festa concert.[15] The group's name, PINK CRES., was announced during this concert. They subsequently opened an official website, blog, and individual wear.jp accounts.[16]

On April 28th, 2017, PINK CRES.'s debut album "Crescendo" was announced, out June 28th, 2017 with limited release at Buono!'s May 22nd concert.[17]
