SweetnessMISIA22rank/position

MISIA – sweetness （Official HD Music Video）

This is a motivational song by MISIA that lets you feel both poignancy and strength, with a beautifully sweet, approaching melody line and standout, powerful vocals.

Its uplifting lyrics give it a singable, karaoke-friendly feel, making it a high-sense track that’s also recommended for high school girls.

MISIA – Without Even Saying Goodbye (Official Music Video)

If you like songs that are both mellow and grand in scope, we recommend “Sayonara mo Iwanai Mama de.” This piece opens with a strikingly jazzy flair, and while traces of a jazzy atmosphere appear throughout the performance, it’s essentially arranged as orthodox pop.

It’s a mature track with dramatic dynamics, so be mindful of expressiveness when you sing.

Because there are quite a few long tones, if it feels taxing, we also recommend lowering the key by one or two steps.

As if to wrap you up…MISIA24rank/position

MISIA – As If to Embrace… (Official HD Music Video)

This was MISIA’s debut single, released in February 1998.

Even more than 20 years after its release, it’s still regarded as one of her signature songs and a standout hit of the Heisei era.

Her vocals on this track exude a youthful charm compared to her current style, yet she delivers a performance so accomplished that it’s hard to believe it’s a debut.

When singing this song at karaoke, the most crucial factor is, without a doubt, how well you can control high notes.

MISIA herself masterfully transitions from powerful chest-voice high tones to gentle falsetto, and toward the end of the song she even employs stunning whistle notes at ultra-high pitches.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call this track a showcase of high-tone techniques for female vocals.

In that sense, it’s an ideal practice piece for women working on their high register.

If you’re confident with high notes, take your time to study this song and aim to deliver it flawlessly.

Tears of the OrphansMISIA25rank/position

MISIA – Orphans' Tears (Official Music Video)

A song that showcases MISIA’s overwhelming vocal prowess.

It was released in November 2015 as the ending theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans.

This grand ballad sings of the sorrow of children who lost their families to war, and MISIA’s warm, resonant voice touches the heart.

It also marked MISIA’s first tie-in with a TV anime.

At the 2015 NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, it was reportedly performed via a live broadcast from Nagasaki’s Peace Park.

Imbued with a wish for peace, the song has become one that comforts listeners across generations.

MISIA – I’m by your side (Official Music Video)

With a clear, translucent singing voice that resonates in the heart, MISIA’s warm song shines.

Released in November 2017 as the theme song for the film Fullmetal Alchemist, this moving piece celebrates the power of love and bonds.

Written by MISIA herself, it spans a wide vocal range while avoiding an arrangement that demands excessive technique from the singer.

Its grand melody and catchy chorus weave an ensemble beloved by many as a song that brightens everyday life.

It’s also a safe choice to try at karaoke, so why not experience MISIA’s richly expressive vocals for yourself?

Bird Crossing the NightMISIA27rank/position

MISIA – Bird Crossing the Night (TV Drama Series “Kenzo Kitakata’s Water Margin” Special Music Video) [Limited-Time Release]

MISIA, known as one of Japan’s premier singers for her overwhelming vocal prowess.

This work is the theme song she performs for the WOWOW × Lemino serial drama “Kenzo Kitakata’s Water Margin,” which began airing in February 2026.

It’s also been a hot topic because Tokiko Kato provided a song to MISIA for the first time, with Shiro Sagisu handling the arrangement.

Carried by a grand, string-laden sound, she powerfully sings of the struggles and hopes of people surviving in a turbulent era—listening to it truly stirs the heart.

The lyrics convey a resolve to press forward into the future with comrades while searching for light within darkness, giving the song an uplifting quality that encourages listeners to face hardship with courage.

It’s a track that gently stands by everyone fighting through adversity.

MISIA – I Love You (Official Music Video)

Here, I’d like to introduce a song that’s quite different from the image many people have of MISIA.

“Suitotto” is like a local tune that makes generous use of the dialect from Nagasaki, her home prefecture.

It’s a song about love for someone dear, but as you can tell from the feel of the title, it’s arranged with an overall pop and comical tone.

Since it has few high notes and not many long sustained tones, even those who aren’t confident singers should find this one easy to sing.
