[With Vocal Commentary] MISIA’s Easy-to-Sing Songs (1–10)
I'll be by your side.MISIA
With a clear, translucent singing voice that resonates in the heart, MISIA’s warm song shines.
Released in November 2017 as the theme song for the film Fullmetal Alchemist, this moving piece celebrates the power of love and bonds.
Written by MISIA herself, it spans a wide vocal range while avoiding an arrangement that demands excessive technique from the singer.
Its grand melody and catchy chorus weave an ensemble beloved by many as a song that brightens everyday life.
It’s also a safe choice to try at karaoke, so why not experience MISIA’s richly expressive vocals for yourself?
I like you.MISIA
Here, I’d like to introduce a song that’s quite different from the image many people have of MISIA.
“Suitotto” is like a local tune that makes generous use of the dialect from Nagasaki, her home prefecture.
It’s a song about love for someone dear, but as you can tell from the feel of the title, it’s arranged with an overall pop and comical tone.
Since it has few high notes and not many long sustained tones, even those who aren’t confident singers should find this one easy to sing.
Higher LoveMISIA
This is the first song Fujii Kaze has ever written for another artist, and it’s a lavish track featuring musicians from New York.
Its gospel‑style arrangement is striking and pairs perfectly with MISIA’s powerful vocals.
The lyrics depict a journey of overcoming life’s hardships and finding true love, delivering a deeply resonant message to listeners.
The song is included on the album “HELLO LOVE,” released in December 2021.
The music video also features a breathtaking performance by 30 dancers.
It’s a highly recommended track for moments when you want to move forward after difficult experiences or feel the bond with someone special.

To tomorrowMISIA
Because MISIA’s songs have strong contrasts, they require a fair amount of vocal power.
As a result, many of them inevitably end up being somewhat difficult to sing.
However, since her songs include relatively few intricate vocal techniques like ad-libs, they might actually be easier to sing for those who are used to performing R&B.
In particular, “Ashita e” doesn’t cram in too many lyrics and lends itself well to added embellishments, so I think it’s a song that’s very easy to arrange for singers who are comfortable with ad-libbing.
Butterfly ButterflyMISIA
MISIA has worked on a wide range of songs, including some uptempo dance tracks.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Butterfly Butterfly.” Inspired by electro swing—a modern style of jazz popular in Belgium and France—it’s arranged with an overall catchy, groovy feel.
While it does require some attention to a slightly staccato delivery, it doesn’t demand foundational vocal skills like sustained notes or vibrato, so among her works, it can be considered relatively easy to sing.
Tears of the OrphansMISIA
A song that showcases MISIA’s overwhelming vocal prowess.
It was released in November 2015 as the ending theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.
This grand ballad sings of the sorrow of children who lost their families to war, and MISIA’s warm, resonant voice touches the heart.
It also marked MISIA’s first tie-in with a TV anime.
At the 2015 NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, it was reportedly performed via a live broadcast from Nagasaki’s Peace Park.
Imbued with a wish for peace, the song has become one that comforts listeners across generations.
Love will never end, forever.MISIA
When it comes to classic winter songs everyone knows, this track by MISIA tops the list.
Released in June 2012 as the theme song for the NHK drama “Hatsukoi” (First Love), the lyrics were written by MISIA herself.
Centered on the theme of eternal love, the words nostalgically reflect on a past romance and truly resonate.
While the song showcases MISIA’s overwhelming vocal prowess, it’s surprisingly approachable to sing.
Its soaring, sustained high notes and soft, resonant lows leave a strong impression, encapsulating her musical essence.
It’s a perfect choice not only for ballad lovers but also for aspiring vocalists.
It’s one of those irresistibly captivating songs that makes you want to sing along—so be sure to give it a listen.
