Mili is a Japanese-Canadian indie music project known for its eclectic blend of classical, electronic, rock, and experimental elements, often featuring ethereal vocals and intricate storytelling. Formed in 2012 by composer Yamato Kasai and vocalist/lyricist Cassie Wei (momocashew), Mili gained significant recognition for their unique sound. They achieved wider fame through contributions to video game soundtracks (notably Library of Ruina, Limbus Company, and Goblin Slayer) and anime series. Known for complex compositions and multilingual lyrics (English, Japanese, French, etc.), they signed with Sony Music Japan's Sacra Music label in 2018. Their style defies easy categorization, often described as neoclassical darkwave or orchestral electronica.

• Cassie Wei (momocashew), the vocalist and lyricist, was born in China, raised in Canada, and later moved to Japan. Her multilingual background heavily influences Mili's lyrical themes and languages used.
• The band's name 'Mili' was chosen for its simplicity and ambiguity, allowing listeners to project their own meanings onto it.
• Mili's breakthrough came largely through their collaboration with South Korean game developer Project Moon, creating the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack for 'Lobotomy Corporation' and its sequel 'Library of Ruina', which resonated deeply with international audiences.
• They are known for their highly theatrical and visually distinct live performances, often incorporating elaborate costumes and stage design.
• Despite signing with Sony's Sacra Music, Mili has maintained a strong degree of creative independence and their signature experimental sound.
