[With vocal commentary] MISIA’s easy-to-sing songs

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!

MISIA is one of Japan’s most iconic divas.

Many people still vividly remember her performance at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.

She is generally known as a singer with remarkable vocal ability.

Because of that, her songs are often thought to be difficult, but surprisingly, there are actually many that are quite easy to sing.

This time, we’ve picked out some of MISIA’s songs that are especially easy to sing.

We also explain specific vocal techniques, so be sure to check it out!

Most of MISIA’s songs make extensive use of long sustained notes.

As a result, you need considerable vocal power to perform them properly.

“Uta o Utaou” is one such piece with many long tones; however, because its vocal range isn’t especially wide, you can sustain notes without having to belt.

That said, if you can’t produce vibrato, the delivery will inevitably sound flat, so if you’re aiming for a certain level of quality, be sure to develop your basic vocal technique.

Despite its grandeur, the piece maintains a light and breezy feel rather than a heavy tone.

Because it contains a fair number of sustained long notes, it can’t be called an easy song; however, the track itself makes a strong statement, which helps mask the vocals, making it relatively easy to sing.

In conclusion

This time, I introduced some MISIA songs that are relatively easy to sing, but since her overall difficulty level is high, you may have felt they’re harder to sing compared to other artists.

If that’s the case, I’ve also compiled easy-to-sing songs by other artists, so I recommend checking those out and practicing with them.

Many of MISIA’s songs become singable once you build a solid foundation in vocal technique, so don’t give up—keep at it!
