MISIA – Everything （Official HD Music Video）

EverythingMISIA

MISIA is a songstress recognized by everyone.

Her signature song “Everything” is actually easy to sing at karaoke.

It may seem like it has a high key, but it isn’t that high.

Compared to another MISIA song, “Aitakute Ima,” it’s lower.

Also, it requires long sustained notes—long tones—but at this song’s pitch, they should be easier to manage.

It’s a song that seems difficult but is easier than you’d think.

Sing it with all your heart!
