MINMI - Miracle

This is a message song from a baby in the womb to their parents.

It’s included on MOTHER, an album released in 2010 by MINMI, a singer-songwriter from Osaka Prefecture.

While pregnancy brings joy, many couples also feel anxious about morning sickness, childbirth, and childcare, which can lead to more arguments.

This is a song we want those couples to hear.

The lyrics are written entirely from the baby’s perspective, telling the parents, “I’m doing my best to come meet you, so let’s smile together.” If you find yourselves arguing, please try listening to it together.

This song radiates the heat of the Caribbean—you’ve probably heard it somewhere before.

Released in July 2007, the song centers on the joy of love and new encounters.

In the lyrics, the world of a once-lonely “me” turns vividly colorful after meeting “you.” Play it at a summer beach party and it’s sure to electrify the atmosphere in an instant.

With “Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So in a Pink Hat,” it’s easy to adapt the song into your own original lyrics.

This piece was written by singer-songwriter MINMI specifically for a preschool graduation ceremony.

The lyrics have a counting-song feel, looking back on nine memories.

There are many parts where you can insert teachers’ and friends’ names to sing.

It could be a great way to surprise a teacher with a message of thanks through the song.

You can also arrange it so the teacher calls out the children’s names while singing.

MINMI – Time Capsule [Official Music Video]

If you want to choose a heartwarming, moving song for the climax of a kindergarten graduation ceremony or recital, we recommend this piece written by MINMI.

There’s a story that she created it for her own daughter’s graduation ceremony, and it was released in February 2023.

The lyrics, filled with memories of kindergarten life and words of thanks, are expressed in children’s own voices—have your tissues ready.

It’s also tied up with a graduation movie production service that uses photos, so playing it alongside a video would be wonderful.

Just like its title suggests, the gentle melody is like a “Time Capsule” that carries memories into the future, sure to bring tears to the eyes of parents and teachers.

The sight of six-year-olds singing it with all their hearts will surely become an unforgettable treasure.

On this important milestone day, be sure to sing it together with the children.

When you’re in love, don’t you sometimes feel that timing is everything when it comes to taking action? I think everyone has experienced being out of sync, missing each other, or failing to get their feelings across at least once.

This song soulfully conveys the poignancy of unrequited love—those moments when you feel like you could finally say “I love you,” only to find the person isn’t there anymore.

The Perfect Vision (Minmi)

Many people in their 30s probably listened to Japanese reggae back in their school days.

In the early 2000s, reggae was popular among the younger generation.

You can’t talk about Japanese reggae without mentioning MINMI.

A lot of people likely listened to her debut single, The Perfect Vision, which could be called the starting point of MINMI.

When you hear this song, don’t you find yourself blurting out, “So nostalgic!”? It’s a classic by MINMI that hasn’t lost any of its shine even today.

A story of a mother’s love and joy that begins with a translucent morning light and a sky of pale blue.

Its sweeping melodies and beautiful scenes, reflecting a range of emotions, deepen the sense of connection with a child.
