After qualifying to play for Japan through residency, Miller made his international debut in May 2002 against Russia. Graham Henry said that he could have pushed for a place in the All Blacks side.
He was selected for the Japan squad for the 2003 Rugby World Cup. where he kept the leading Japanese points scorer of all time Keiji Hirose out of the team and was credited with helping them to some credible performances and was noted as one of Japan's best players at the tournament. He notably scored a 52-metre drop goal against Fiji which was the longest in Rugby World Cup history.
He didn't play again for Japan after the World Cup after they briefly made a policy not to select foreign born players in 2004, and Miller returned to New Zealand to play for Southland.
