There is always love on your back.MISIA

There is always love on your back.

This is a single released by MISIA in September 2020 as a cheer song celebrating the bond between people and horses.

Chosen as the JRA Equestrian Support CM song, it was created to cheer on the equestrian events at Tokyo 2020.

It’s memorable that MISIA, who enjoys horseback riding herself, wrote the lyrics to capture the moving moments when hearts connect with horses.

The song carefully portrays the warm sense of “horse and rider as one,” where intentions are shared through the reins and points of contact with the body.

Rather than emphasizing speed, it cherishes a gentle closeness, filled with warmth that softly supports someone from behind.

Give it a listen when you want to cheer on someone important to you—or to encourage yourself.

DEEPNESSMISIA

MISIA – DEEPNESS （Music Video）

It’s the theme song for the TV drama “Ōoku.” The lyrics, which match Ōoku’s worldview of “living only for this person,” feel incredibly powerful.

It’s a ballad where you can fully enjoy MISIA’s soaring voice and richly expressive singing, don’t you think?

Sweet LoverMISIA

MISIA – Sweet Lover (Official Music Video)

It’s actually a song about melon bread.

The tune is cute, and the Melon Panda that appears in the music video is adorable too.

I’ve heard the song came about from MISIA’s love of melon bread.

It’s not a major release—probably a hidden gem that only MISIA fans know.

SNOW SONGMISIA

MISIA – SNOW SONG （Official HD Music Video）

A winter lyric poem delivered by MISIA in the winter of 2003.

Included on a double A-side single cut from the album “MARS & ROSES,” it was chosen as the campaign song for J-WAVE’s Christmas season.

The lyrics are said to have originated the morning after she finished a New Year’s Eve concert in Hokkaido, when she saw a pure white snowy landscape through a frozen window.

A romantic ballad brimming with the sentiment of winter nights—like the kind of moment that makes you instinctively look up at the night sky when your heart is moved.

It’s a song that gently stays with you on winter nights when you want to be quiet, or when you’re thinking of someone far away.

Season of LoveMISIA

Season of Love (from THE TOUR OF MISIA 2001 Live Ver.)

It’s a song about joyful love.

Listening to it makes me feel warm and happy.

The tempo is relaxed, so it’s soothing, and the positive lyrics lift my spirits.

It’s a song that makes me a little sentimental, reminding me of how I used to listen to it with my boyfriend.

Wings of PromiseMISIA

MISIA – Wings of Promise (Music Video)

It’s the theme song for the film “Cyborg She,” a medium-tempo ballad with an orchestral touch.

True to its title, the sound evokes grandeur and freshness, as if spreading wings and soaring through the vast sky, and the poised, dignified vocals stand out.

It’s a track that leaves you feeling refreshed.

Flowers/Birds/Wind/MoonMISIA

MISIA – Flowers/Birds/Wind/Moon

It’s a retro, 1970s-style soul number with choruses.

It’s said to express a heartfelt cry: “Like the wind, like a flower, let’s keep our hearts pure and unadorned.

Like the moon, like a bird, let’s never forget our dreaming hearts, and let’s send these feelings forth.”
