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

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

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!

Maware Maware, MISIA’s masterpiece that gained popularity as the theme song for the 2010 FIFA World Cup held in South Africa.

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.

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!
