Last updated:

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!

[With Vocal Commentary] MISIA’s Easy-to-Sing Songs (1–10)

If you like songs that are both mellow and grand in scope, we recommend “Sayonara mo Iwanai Mama de.” This piece opens with a strikingly jazzy flair, and while traces of a jazzy atmosphere appear throughout the performance, it’s essentially arranged as orthodox pop.

It’s a mature track with dramatic dynamics, so be mindful of expressiveness when you sing.

Because there are quite a few long tones, if it feels taxing, we also recommend lowering the key by one or two steps.

This song delivers a powerful message of hope and moving forward.

Released in October 2022, it was unveiled on the same day MISIA kicked off her nationwide tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of her debut.

It also gained attention as the theme song for Sony’s WF-1000XM5 commercial.

Over a calm and steady sound, MISIA’s gentle yet powerful voice resonates.

The lyrics express the idea of cherishing even the smallest hopes, conveying a warmth that reaches listeners’ hearts.

It’s a recommended track for those seeking the courage to embrace new beginnings or to keep looking ahead and moving forward.

HOPE & DREAMSMISIA

When people think of MISIA, many probably imagine richly expressive, heartfelt songs.

Of course, it’s true that she has many such tracks, but she also has some up-tempo dance numbers.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “HOPE & DREAMS.” Crafted as an up-tempo dance tune with a Eurobeat feel, it’s easy to groove to despite the fast pace.

It’s a perfect choice for those looking for a song that’s light and easy to sing.

If you’re interested in grand, fantastical pieces, we recommend “Galaxy.” As the title suggests, it’s a space-themed track, and both the melody and vocal lines are crafted to feel truly majestic.

Because of that, a certain level of vocal ability is required; however, compared to full-fledged R&B or soul, there’s less ad-libbing and no highly advanced vocal techniques, so it should be relatively easy to sing for those with solid basic vocal skills.

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.

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.
