La-la-la of the Rainbow

Somehow, the style doesn’t feel very MISIA-like, but it’s a cute song.

It depicts the small everyday moments and emotions, with lyrics that make you want to hum along.

It has a fresh, “Sunday morning” vibe, and it’s a soothing track to listen to.

MISIA – Galaxy (Official Music Video)

If you’re interested in grand, fantastical pieces, we recommend “Galaxy.” As the title suggests, it’s a space-themed track, and both the melody and vocal lines are crafted to feel truly majestic.

Because of that, a certain level of vocal ability is required; however, compared to full-fledged R&B or soul, there’s less ad-libbing and no highly advanced vocal techniques, so it should be relatively easy to sing for those with solid basic vocal skills.

[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.

The Little Bird That Forgot How to FlyMISIA96rank/position

The Little Bird That Forgot How to Fly

MISIA’s song overlays the image of a bird so wounded it has forgotten how to fly with the hidden fragility everyone carries in their hearts.

It is said to embody the artist’s own belief that no matter how strong we pretend to be, inside we are as vulnerable as a little bird that has lost its way.

Beginning with a quiet piano and unfolding into majestic strings, the sound itself traces the journey of a heart finding light amid confusion.

The track is included on the million-selling album “KISS IN THE SKY,” released in September 2002, and is widely loved as the theme song for the RPG “Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.” It’s a tale of renewal that, when listened to on nights you feel crushed by your own powerlessness, inspires you to cherish the warm happiness that lies beyond the pain.
