MINMI’s Memory of FREEDOM 2015 (MOVE/Hologram/Nureso feat. HAN-KUN)

A song that became the theme for the TV anime “Jitsu wa Watashi wa” (“Actually, I Am”).

The dynamics of love between men and women can change so easily, can’t they? With the slightest thing, distance can grow between two people, and yet it seems to depict the moment when everyone realizes the importance of trusting each other while looking ahead to the future they will walk together.

[MV] MINMI – Bonkyu-bon ~BonKyubon~

This is also a song that gets everyone hyped at karaoke.

It’s cute, upbeat, and really lifts your mood.

It’s the kind of song you can get excited with.

I was surprised at first that she sings this kind of song, but because it’s MINMI singing, it turns into a cute, energizing, and refreshing track.

MINMI – Lalala ~Love Song~ LIVE

I love MINMI’s love songs because they’re filled with heartfelt emotion and so much affection when you listen to them.

This song is a real crowd-pleaser, too.

It has a proper story and is well-crafted.

The strong feelings in it are moving.

It makes me feel like I can do my best starting tomorrow.

Heisei MaidenMINMI44rank/position

Heisei no Otome

MINMI’s 2010 release is characterized by an up-tempo sound that incorporates reggae and dancehall elements.

The lyrics comically depict the everyday life and emotions of women in the Heisei era, with memorable repeated phrases.

With themes of modern women’s strength and identity, the song is likely to resonate with many female listeners.

Included on the album “Mother,” this track is a catchy pop tune that portrays women living powerfully while carrying everyday stress and anxiety.

MINMI – Full of Memories (1-chorus version)

It reminds me of graduation ceremonies.

But when MINMI sings this song, it has a very pop vibe and doesn’t feel too sentimental, so I think it’s good for younger generations too.

It’s been turned into a slightly upbeat classic.

Still, it’s strange how listening closely to the lyrics can make you cry.

Nureso feat. HAN-KUNMINMI46rank/position

Nureso

Singer-songwriter MINMI, who has gained popularity for her distinctive musical style that blends reggae-based R&B with elements of soca.

The track “Nureso feat.

HAN-KUN,” included on her 7th album EGO, also drew attention for its collaboration with HAN-KUN, a member of Shonan no Kaze.

The sensual lyrics, paired with her soaring vocals, are truly stirring.

It’s a passionate number with a relaxed yet groovy beat that feels just right.

MINMI – Fireworks MINMI × DOZAN11 ver. [Official Music Video]

A song by MINMI, a female singer-songwriter who has led the Japanese reggae scene since the 2000s with her distinctive sound that incorporates elements of R&B and soca.

The track was created together with viewers during a live stream, and then joined by Dohzi-T (Miki Dōzan), with whom she had been close since her early days—an addition that sent fans into a frenzy at the collaboration between the king and queen of Japanese reggae.

The arrangement moves from a mystical opening into a high-energy beat, creating dynamic contrast while stoking anticipation for summer.

Passionate rhythms blend exquisitely with melodies that evoke a sense of traditional Japanese flair.

MINMI – Blue Sky (Aozora) LIVE [with Spanish subtitles]

This song is also one of my favorites.

The chorus gives me courage.

The lyrics are really great, and I love them.

The melody is very bittersweet, but what I like is how it lifts me up, reminding me that even if bad things happen, good things will come again.

Fireworks (MINMI × DOZAN11 ver.)

An uplifting reggae song overflowing with summer vibes.

Yet it’s not just about hype—there’s also a melodious, soothing, mature mood.

A golden collaboration between MINMI, who helped root reggae in mainstream listeners, and the legend Dozan11 (Miki Dōzan), known for “Lifetime Respect.” Released digitally in August 2021.

With a festive atmosphere like fireworks lighting up the sky and a soca foundation characteristic of MINMI, it’s a fun track where the resonance and layering of Dozan11’s lyrics shine.

It’s packed with the best of reggae’s uplifting yet relaxing appeal and the chic spirit of Japan!

MINMI – Shiki No Uta (Tribute to Samurai Champloo) Official Music Video

This is the ending theme of Samurai Champloo.

The music is by Nujabes, and the vocals are by Minmi.

Both are highly acclaimed as top-tier artists in their fields, and this is the number one song I’d like girls to sing at karaoke.
