Early life and career

Before her acting career began, Mimori was active in stage musicals under the name Suzuko Kurokawa. She met with the president of the Bushiroad, Takāki Kidani, during one of her stage musicals which led to her being offered a chance to become a voice actress and auditioning for her first role in 2008. Prior to that, she was enrolled at Komazawa University but dropped out to concentrate on her voice acting projects. From July to October 2009, she was a member of the singing group Cutie Pai as Suzy (which is the diminutive form of her given name). In 2012, she started appearing on variety television shows and in musical activities as one of the four lead members of the Milky Holmes voice acting unit, which is named after the television show as the same name. She is member of a mini unit in the Love Live! project, Lily White, alongside Aina Kusuda and Riho Iida.

Music video

A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song. Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys are marketing campaigns for food and other products. Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip". Since the creation and increased popularity of YouTube, mainstream artists now promote new music videos by releasing trailers of short promos on the site for their upcoming song and music video. Consequentially, YouTube has been converted into a social media platform for celebrities and artists to market themselves to their fans and audiences.
