Sakurada Miyu (桜田美夢?) is a character in the D4DJ franchise and is the leader of the group Lyrical Lily.
Profile[]
A kind-hearted and thoughtful high schooler with good morals. Finding some analog audio equipment with her friends was the start of her DJ activities. Because of her family's influence, she is well-versed in oldies and the hits of yesteryear, particularly those from the Showa era.[1][2]
Appearance[]
Miyu has slightly wavy short hair that is a light pink color and her bangs cover most of her forehead. She has a small portion of her hair tied up with a flower hairpin. Her eyes are a slightly darker pink color than her hair.
Background[]
Miyu's family, the Sakurada Group, owns a conglomerate, which has led them to them becoming one of the richest families in the country.
During her time at the elementary school branch of Arisugawa Academy, she was quite shy as a child and didn't make much friends as a result. However, she begins to open up once she became acquainted with Miiko,[3] and later Kurumi and Kasuga Haruna, who attended the same grade.
Personality[]
Miyu is a humble, well-mannered, and open-minded young girl. Though sensitive in intense situations, she is strong-willed and earnest, always willing to take on challenges including those faced by her friends.
Her notable trait is her empathy and compassion for others, and several characters have compared her to an angel, even the Groovy Mix character survey. For example, she helps Kurumi avoid trouble from her pranks and notifies her father to assist her tutor, Saori, in securing an internship at one of his affiliate companies. However, Miyu later feels guilty for overstepping in Saori's job search and apologizes, reflecting her honest and sincere nature.[4]
She often mediates the bickering within her group. Though her unit members frequently drag her into whimsical situations, Miyu rarely harbors resentment toward them, or anyone, in that regard, such as when she showed no outright ill will towards Elsie after she peer pressured her and later badmouthed her and Lyrical Lily's performance.[5] She typically tends to recognize the positive traits of the people she knows.
Because she is prone to loneliness and fears that distance may separate her from those she holds dear,[4] Miyu treasures every moment spent with her friends.
