miwa “Synchro” Music Video

A track from miwa’s EP “Kimi ni Koishita Toki kara,” released in August 2022.

At first listen it sounds like a very catchy, singable pop song, but if you listen closely, you’ll notice skillful shifts in vocal placement, especially in the higher sections.

The groove also has a slightly bouncy feel that many Japanese singers find challenging.

If you can nail this perfectly at karaoke, you’ll definitely grab everyone’s attention! If the rhythm of your singing gets flat, it can ruin the song, so be sure to listen carefully to the beat of the backing track (karaoke) and keep a solid sense of rhythm as you sing.

If you were here and I could hold youmiwa

miwa 'If You Were Here So I Could Hold You'

How many times have I witnessed that scene—her strumming a big guitar and singing with such joy—and how many times has she encouraged me like that? I always wonder where miwa, who looks so petite, packs all that immense energy.

The title of this song, “If You’re Here and I Can Hold You,” says it all and is lovely.

The lyrics that say you don’t need anything else—as long as you’re here—are straightforward and refreshing.

A recommended track that writes that love isn’t a thing, but an existence itself.

It was also chosen as the theme song for TBS’s moving medical drama “Kounodori.”

Drive Songmiwa

Drive Song

Here’s the perfect one-and-only driving song from the eternal guitar girl, miwa: “Drive Song.” With lines like “I’ve put together songs I want you to listen to while driving” and “You look way too wonderful behind the wheel,” there are so many swoon-worthy moments in the lyrics—it’s honestly heart-fluttering! You can’t help but fall for the girl in the song after just one listen, right? During Golden Week there are lots of cars out and occasional traffic jams, but if this track is playing in the car, you’ll be totally fine! It’s especially recommended for those heading toward Odaiba and crossing the Rainbow Bridge!
