Natsuyaki Miyabi’s career began when she passed the 2002 Hello! Project Kids auditions.

In 2003, she was chosen to join the group Aa!, with Morning Musume member Tanaka Reina as leader and future °C-ute member Suzuki Airi. They released only one single: “First Kiss” released on October 29, 2003. The status of the group as a recording unit is unknown, but the original lineup “reformed” for live performances in 2007.

In 2004, Miyabi was one of the eight members selected to form Berryz Koubou. She is now a lead singer of Berryz Koubou. Being a member of Berryz Koubou, she also participates in the band’s weekly radio show Berryz Kobo Kiritsu! Rei! Chakuseki!. In that same year, she was cast as a character 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 2005 Miyabi became a member of Hello! Project’s shuffle unit “Onna, Kanashii, Otona”. Like Aa! there are only 3 members, Miki Fujimoto from Morning Musume, Megumi Murakami from ℃-ute and Miyabi. They only produced one song called “Onna, Kanashii, Otona”, which translates as “Woman, Sad, Adult”.

In 2007, Miyabi joined fellow Berryz Koubou member Tsugunaga Momoko and °C-ute member Suzuki Airi in a new unit named Buono!, originially created for the Shugo Chara! anime series. The unit was officially announced at the Nakayoshi magazine Festival 2007 on July 21, 2007, at Tokyo’s Sunshine City in Ikebukuro, and formed to sing both the opening (“Kokoro no Tamago”) and ending (“Honto no Jibun”) themes for the anime adaptation of the Shugo Chara! manga.

Buono! continued to record the ending and opening themes for the first season of the anime. As of the second season, Buono! only recorded the ending themes, as the opening themes were handled by Shugo Chara Egg! and Guardians 4.

In 2009 the group Aa! was taken off hiatus and reformed into the second generation of Aa!. This Group consists of Miyabi as the leader, Suzuki Airi and Hello! Pro Egg member Saho Akari. The newly formed group released a new single called “YES-YES-YES”.

Morning Musume members Junjun and Linlin chose Miyabi to be in a special unit with them and Kusumi Koharu. The announcement was made on the International Channel Shanghai (ICS) show “Music Story in Japan”. The unit is going to perform in Shanghai in June 22nd and 23rd.
