    No, Monday Michiru never got pushed in the US by any sort of label. The
    only thing that ever came out in the US by her was the Sunshine After The
    Rain 12" but only because it was a MAW remix. Italy, UK and Germany all
    carry her music through the label Emarcy. In fact Emarcy released vinyl
    versions of "You Make Me" and "Mermaid".

    Monday Michiru has actually performed a fair bit back in her Paradox Band
    and Jazz Brat (usually with Mondo Grosso) days. Nowadays though, I don't
    think she rarely goes on tour. She lives back in the USA in NY now with her
    husband.
