MISIA – sweetness （Official HD Music Video）

It’s a song that feels quintessential early MISIA, blending a hip-hop vibe with an R&B feel.

While it expresses the anxieties and worries that come with being in a relationship, it also conveys a positive mindset—there are things you won’t understand unless you say them, and things you won’t know unless you try.

MISIA – A World Without Only You

When you listen to just the melody, it feels upbeat and fun, but because the lyrics are exactly like the title, it gives a somewhat mismatched impression.

The mismatch makes it feel a bit eerie, and listening to it also feels sad.

It’s a song with a sense of futility—an emptiness to it.

Tell meMISIA

Tell Me／MISIA (Guitar Cover)

This is a song included on the debut album.

MISIA’s light, upbeat vocal delivery is captivating.

The melody has a calm feel that evokes an adult romance, and the lyrics, which plaintively sing of a love that has ended, make your chest ache as you listen.

JRA Commercial “Show Jumping” Version 30 Seconds

The “Show Jumping” version of the commercial “TOKYO2020 Equestrian Support TOGETHER! World Equestrian Sports Are Coming,” featuring Tori Matsuzaka and Tao Tsuchiya.

The CM uses MISIA’s song “Welcome One,” released digitally in 2021.

With MISIA’s signature powerful vocals, the track is filled with hope that feels like it can break through any barrier.

Even hearing just the short snippet in the commercial makes energy well up from within.

The lyrics—let’s fight together and become number one!—are a perfect match for equestrian competitions, where horse and rider perform as one.

It’s a cheer song meant for those who take on challenges while working together with others.

The Little Bird That Forgot How to FlyMISIA

The Little Bird That Forgot How to Fly

MISIA’s song overlays the image of a bird so wounded it has forgotten how to fly with the hidden fragility everyone carries in their hearts.

It is said to embody the artist’s own belief that no matter how strong we pretend to be, inside we are as vulnerable as a little bird that has lost its way.

Beginning with a quiet piano and unfolding into majestic strings, the sound itself traces the journey of a heart finding light amid confusion.

The track is included on the million-selling album “KISS IN THE SKY,” released in September 2002, and is widely loved as the theme song for the RPG “Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.” It’s a tale of renewal that, when listened to on nights you feel crushed by your own powerlessness, inspires you to cherish the warm happiness that lies beyond the pain.

MISIA – ESCAPE （Official HD Music Video）

I really love this super cool song.

The upbeat rhythm and lyrics are great, and the music video is distinctive, with the dance scenes looking awesome.

ESCAPE didn’t feel negative, like “running away,” but rather had a more positive meaning.

It’s a song that gives me energy.

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.
