I review recent developments of SiO maser observations of miras, and discuss their kinematics in the Galaxy. They are deeply related to problems in other fields, such as the noncircular motion of Galactic spiral arms, streaming motions of stars in the solar neighborhood, and the interface between the interstellar and circumstellar medium revealed by Far-IR imaging of some miras, as well as the bar structure of the Galaxy. Recent automated surveys of variable stars in optical bands have increased the number of red variables enormously. Most of these stars were not observed in the radio before because of their blue colors. We have obtained radial velocities of these long-period variables with SiO masers. The longitude-velocity diagrams have revealed interesting deviations of stellar motions from the circular motion of the Galaxy, some of which show spatial motion similar to that of the Hercules group of stars. Important developments of SiO maser observations have been made for symbiotic stars, one of which showed a nova eruption with concurrent γ ray emission in 2010 (V407 Cyg). SiO masers have been monitored for this star after the nova eruption. I summarize the SiO maser observations of individual stars also.
