Sakamoto was born to musician parents, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Akiko Yano, in 1980. She grew up listening to Yellow Magic Orchestra and Kraftwerk. She has three half-siblings, her brother Fuuta, along with an older sister and a younger brother from her father's previous marriages. Her grandfather Kazuki Sakamoto is an editor. In 1990, when Sakamoto was 9 years old, her family immigrated to New York, United States, where she lived until she graduated from high school. Because of her time in the US, she is bilingual in Japanese and English. Her name, "Miu", comes from the English word "mutant", given to her by her father.
Her first boyfriend was David Sylvian, who was the vocalist of the band Japan and a friend of her parents.
While Sakamoto currently lives in Tokyo, she frequently travels back and forth between Japan and New York City, to visit her mother in Manhattan.
Sakamoto provided a cover of "Miu" for the January 29, 2020 Buck-Tick tribute album Parade III ~Respective Tracks of Buck-Tick~ [2]
