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

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.

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.

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!
