MISIA – Aitakute Ima (Official HD Music Video)

MISIA’s song “Aitakute Ima” (“I Want to See You Now”) expresses feelings for a precious person you can no longer meet.

Released in 2009, it was used as the theme song for the drama JIN.

Many people were likely moved by the melody of love—sung with MISIA’s expansive, soaring voice—together with the drama.

The lyrics convey an overflow of emotions for a dear you whom one longs to see but cannot.

It’s a famous song featured as a drama theme, and the parts that can be sung freely and powerfully make it especially approachable even after a heartbreak.

Sing it with all your heart, so your feelings reach the one you loved.

A 120-second special trailer for Samurai Marathon: Iwane the Sleepy, set to MISIA’s song “LOVED,” featuring scenes revealed for the first time

A heartwarming ballad by MISIA, filled with gratitude toward a former lover and a forward-looking spirit.

Written in December 2018 as the theme song for the film Samurai Shifters starring Tori Matsuzaka, and later included on the album Life is going on and on, this piece beautifully portrays the glimmer of hope found after a painful parting.

While carrying the ache and loneliness of heartbreak, it conveys the strength to treasure the days spent with a loved one and to begin walking forward, step by step.

For anyone hoping to turn the pain of a difficult farewell into the courage to take a new step, this song will be a comforting companion.

MISIA – Days We Won’t Forget (Official HD Music Video)

MISIA’s “Wasurenaide” depicts, with striking realism, a pair who are on the verge of breaking up right now.

It’s a number that moves you with its clean yet deeply realistic portrayal of the moment they will no longer be lovers after today, and from tomorrow will relate to each other as friends.

That feeling of being able to accept even the times you were irritated by the other person’s attitude, angry, or felt awful as somehow beautiful memories now—you can relate, can’t you? And yet it’s the chorus—and the very title, “Don’t Forget”—that pierces through as the true heart of the song.

[Misia] Best Hits Collection

The rainy heartbreak song included on MISIA’s second album, LOVE IS THE MESSAGE, released in 2000, is Ame no Nichiyōbi (Rainy Sunday).

The album topped the Oricon charts and won the Best Album Award at the 42nd Japan Record Awards—a true classic.

It’s a quintessential MISIA track: mellow yet driven by a solid beat, so groovy it makes your hips want to move.

The lyrics, which sing about how seeing the umbrella the other person left behind on a rainy day brings back memories and makes it hard to bear, are heartbreakingly poignant.

MISIA – BELIEVE （Official HD Music Video）

For more recent listeners, MISIA is probably strongly associated with being a classic, orthodox diva, but for women in their 40s, doesn’t she evoke more of an R&B singer image? Among her songs from that era, the one I especially recommend is BELIEVE.

Although the chorus features a high-pitched phrase with quite dramatic pitch jumps, most of the rest sits in the low-to-mid range.

Since there are repeated falsetto passages, if you’re not comfortable with head voice, try lowering the key before you tackle it.
