MISIA – White Season (Official Music Video)

The TV Asahi drama “Second Love,” which drew attention for its portrayal of a passionate adult romance and starred Kazuya Kamenashi and Kyoko Fukada, featured MISIA’s single “Shiroi Kisetsu,” released in February 2015, as an insert song.

Beginning with a delicate piano melody that feels like snow quietly piling up, the arrangement swells in the latter half with grand strings, unleashing a wave of emotion—truly breathtaking.

MISIA’s hallmark warm, embracing vocals and endlessly sustained long tones awaken bittersweet memories deep within the listener’s heart.

Also included on the album “LOVE BEBOP,” this masterpiece is one you’ll want to sink into on a cold winter’s night, thinking of someone dear.

CHANGE MY WORLDMISIA38rank/position

CHANGE MY WORLD

Yakult is well-known as a drink that helps regulate your physical condition, and this commercial is for Yakult 1000, which has an image of being especially effective.

It shows Yakult 1000 being incorporated into everyday life and leading to relaxation, with strong emphasis on appearances by MISIA, Takayuki Yamada, and Anne (An).

The song that accentuates the bright, health-transforming vibe of Yakult 1000 is MISIA’s “CHANGE MY WORLD.” Written specifically for the commercial, the track contrasts changing one’s physical condition with shifting one’s mindset in a positive direction.

It’s a song that conveys forward-driving energy, blending airy, gentle sounds with a powerful vocal performance.

Into The LightMISIA39rank/position

INTO THE LIGHT (from THE SUPER TOUR OF MISIA in YOKOHAMA ARENA Final Live Ver.）

People who excel at soaring high notes often choose to sing MISIA’s songs! Among them, I picked “INTO THE LIGHT” this time.

It was released the same year as her debut single “Tsutsumi Komu Yō ni…” and is extremely popular among fans.

The powerful vocals and those strikingly high tones that make you think “How high can she go?” are signature features.

The overall range spans from F#3 to F#5, reaching notes you don’t often use—truly impressive.

Because it’s so high throughout, you really need to focus on breath volume, explosiveness, and core engagement; delivering it like a piercing, chest-voice-like sound is quite challenging.

But the exhilaration after finishing is incredible, so sing it boldly and wow everyone around you!

It’s just love（from THE TOUR OF MISIA LOVE BEBOP all roads lead to you Live Ver.）

A song by MISIA, whose artist name carries the meaning “to deliver music to the people of ASIA,” and who enjoys popularity as a singer representing Asia, including Japan.

Featured on her second album, LOVE IS THE MESSAGE, the track was used in a Max Factor “Nanako Nadeshiko” commercial.

The soulful vocals layered over a delicate, acoustic guitar–centered ensemble resonate deeply alongside lyrics that encourage being true to oneself.

It’s a hidden gem that makes you want to keep listening—a track that reaffirms MISIA’s expressive power.

Winter Stranger

When the winter cold seeps into your bones, you can’t help but crave a stirring ballad, right? This poignant masterpiece—written and composed by GLAY’s TAKURO, with TERU contributing backing vocals—depicts the passion of a forbidden love.

MISIA’s overwhelming expressive power crafts a cinematic, dramatic world with stunning precision.

Included on the album “SINGER FOR SINGER,” released in December 2004, the song also drew attention as the theme for the film “Umineko.” Its sweeping strings that suit snowy scenery and a voice that tightens your chest make it perfect for nights when you long for warmth.

It’s a song you should hear if you’re in a bittersweet romance or want to immerse yourself in music with a story.
