THE GLORY DAY（from THE TOUR OF MISIA 2004 MARS & ROSES in TOKYO DOME Live Ver.）

With its bell chimes and festive sound, this song heightens the Christmas mood.

It’s a masterpiece that fully showcases MISIA’s overwhelming vocal prowess, and it was also used as J-WAVE’s Christmas campaign song in 1998.

Recorded in London, it features a collaboration with a local gospel group.

The unique blend of R&B, gospel, and J-pop is captivating.

The lyrics carry a message that celebrates diverse people and encourages singing about love on this special day.

At Christmas parties or karaoke, it’s sure to elevate the atmosphere, especially when sung by a woman! It’s a thrilling, excitement-filled track—be sure to sing it together and have fun.

Love's Form feat. HIDEMISIA10rank/position

MISIA – Shape of Love feat. HIDE (GReeeeN) (Official Music Video)

This is a heartwarming song that warmly expresses the depth of love and the bond with someone special.

Written and composed by GReeeeN and arranged by Seiji Kameda, the piece features MISIA’s expansive, powerful vocals that beautifully convey the mutual feelings of caring for one another.

Since its release in August 2018, it has garnered attention as the theme song for the drama “Gibo to Musume no Blues,” and later, in 2020, it was also chosen for a SUBARU commercial.

When reflecting on the bonds with loved ones who share life’s joys and challenges, MISIA’s gentle voice resonates like a reassuring push on your back—making it a song you’ll want to listen to with family, a partner, or dear friends.

MISIA – BELIEVE （Official HD Music Video）

For more recent listeners, MISIA is probably strongly associated with being a classic, orthodox diva, but for women in their 40s, doesn’t she evoke more of an R&B singer image? Among her songs from that era, the one I especially recommend is BELIEVE.

Although the chorus features a high-pitched phrase with quite dramatic pitch jumps, most of the rest sits in the low-to-mid range.

Since there are repeated falsetto passages, if you’re not comfortable with head voice, try lowering the key before you tackle it.

Butterfly ButterflyMISIA12rank/position

MISIA – Butterfly Butterfly （Official Music Video）

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.

EDGE OF THIS WORLDMISIA13rank/position

MISIA – EDGE OF THIS WORLD （Official Music Video）

When it comes to MISIA, her serene yet grand ballads are especially memorable.

However, she has also released some electronic dance numbers.

Among them, the one I particularly recommend is “EDGE OF THIS WORLD.” It begins as a conventional ballad, but once the chorus hits, electronic sounds come in and the mood shifts to a cybernetic feel.

With fewer long sustained notes and an easy-to-follow rhythm, it’s one of the most singable tracks in MISIA’s catalog.

Be sure to check it out.

MISIA – ESCAPE （Official HD Music Video）

MISIA’s songs have captivated many with heartfelt lyrics and her overwhelming vocal prowess.

This work is her sixth single, released on July 7, 2000, a special date that is also MISIA’s birthday.

It was also featured as the song for Kenwood’s Avino commercial, which helped it gain widespread recognition.

Set to a romantic, exhilarating hip-hop track with a sense of speed, MISIA’s powerful vocals drive the entire song.

It’s a dance tune that makes you want to move to the beat.

The lyrics, which portray a mindset of believing in miracles and living with strength, are mature and profound, resonating closely with listeners.
