MISIA's Most Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

HOPE & DREAMSMISIA43rank/position

MISIA – HOPE & DREAMS (TOKYO RAINBOW WEEK 2014 PV)

When people think of MISIA, many probably imagine richly expressive, heartfelt songs.

Of course, it’s true that she has many such tracks, but she also has some up-tempo dance numbers.

Among them, the one I especially recommend is “HOPE & DREAMS.” Crafted as an up-tempo dance tune with a Eurobeat feel, it’s easy to groove to despite the fast pace.

It’s a perfect choice for those looking for a song that’s light and easy to sing.

MISIA – Holy Hold Me （Official HD Music Video）

A warm ballad you’ll want to listen to on Christmas night.

Released in December 2004, this song captivates with MISIA’s overwhelming vocal prowess and R&B flavor.

Included on the album “SINGER FOR SINGER.” It sings of city lights and memories with a loved one, and its dreamy atmosphere resonates deeply.

MISIA’s delicate vocals, paired with the slow tempo perfect for a winter night, bring comfort to listeners.

A track you’ll want to play while spending Christmas with someone special or on a quiet winter evening.

Into The LightMISIA45rank/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!

MISIA – Memory (Official HD Music Video)

MISIA, who commands a five-octave range and captivates listeners with her overwhelming vocal prowess.

Released in May 2011, this work is a grand ballad written as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Iryu Sousa” (Investigative File).

Co-lyrics with Goro Matsui center on memories and bonds with a loved one, portraying feelings that never fade even as time passes.

Set against Shiro Sagisu’s weighty orchestral arrangement, MISIA’s powerful, resonant vocals are nothing short of breathtaking.

From the quiet opening to the dynamic development in the chorus, her masterful shifts between chest voice and falsetto are the mark of a true artisan.

It’s a song that sinks deep into the heart—highly recommended for those who want to immerse themselves on a quiet night, as well as vocalists looking to expand their expressive range.

AMAZING LIFE (from MISIA Heisei Budokan LIFE IS GOING ON AND ON Live Ver.)

If you want to experience the preciousness of life and a grand worldview, we recommend AMAZING LIFE.

As the title suggests, it’s a song themed around the bonds of life and miracles, and MISIA’s overwhelming vocal prowess is on full display.

Included on the album Life is going on and on, released in December 2018, this track also became familiar as the theme song for NHK’s Darwin ga Kita! Ikimono Shin Densetsu (Darwin Has Come! New Legends of Living Things).

It was also selected as the image song for the 7th Tokyo International Conference on African Development, giving it a broad social reach.

The dynamic, orchestral sound is truly stunning and will move listeners to the core.

Give it a listen when you want to reaffirm the wonder of life.

MISIA’s songs add a chic and romantic touch to weddings.

“Happiness Forever” and “Everything” are popular, but this song is also recommended for a Japanese-style entrance.

It brings a sophisticated feel to the moment when entering in a kimono with a Western-style hairstyle.

It’s also great for night weddings.

This is a corporate commercial for the Starts Group, which operates a variety of businesses including real estate ventures such as Pitatto House.
