If only you were here so I could hold you.miwa1rank/position
A supreme ballad that makes you realize it’s a miracle just to have someone precious here and now.
Sung by miwa, this piece begins with a quiet piano melody and gradually builds into a grand sound as strings layer in—one of its key charms.
The lyrics overflow with deep affection that embraces the other person completely, and just listening is enough to bring tears to your eyes.
Released in November 2015, it was written as the theme song for the TBS drama “Kounodori.” Its gentle tone, in step with a series that faces the preciousness of life, makes it perfect for expressing gratitude to your partner on White Day.
If you listen together with the one you love, you’ll surely feel each other’s presence even more dearly.
Unrequited lovemiwa2rank/position
A ballad that portrays a heartrending love, seeping into the heart with its translucent vocals and the warm sound of the piano.
Included on the March 2012 album “guitarium,” it was selected as the ending theme for the music information program “saku saku” in February 2012.
The lyrics delicately express the feelings of a secret, unspoken crush and the bittersweet pain of being unable to get closer the more you care.
With a heartwarming melody that gently embraces the frustration of being unable to confess and the anxiety that everyone experiences when they fall in love, this song offers solace and support.
It’s a track we especially recommend to those who are keeping their feelings for someone special tucked away in their hearts.
To Hikarimiwa3rank/position
Contrary to her cute looks and singing voice, singer-songwriter miwa made her major debut after steadily performing at live houses during her student days.
Her 9th single Hikari e, written as the theme song for the TV drama Rich Man, Poor Woman, features a four-on-the-floor beat and a refreshing arrangement that really lifts your mood.
Since the key is high from the very beginning throughout the entire song, and even higher notes appear at the end of the chorus, caution is needed.
If you’re a woman who’s good at high tones, this is a song where you can truly be the star—why not try it at karaoke?
Rebootmiwa4rank/position
This is singer-songwriter miwa’s 25th single, which also drew attention for her achievement in 2018 as the first female solo artist to successfully perform a solo acoustic guitar concert at Yokohama Arena.
Written as the theme song for the TV drama “Nagi’s Long Vacation,” it’s a cool number that contrasts her cute vocals with a hard-hitting rock sound.
It’s challenging due to its driving feel and overall high key, but it’s great fun to play as a band, so I highly recommend it.
If the key really doesn’t suit you, try tackling it flexibly by asking the instrumentalists to change the chords or by tuning down.
To the Lightmiwa5rank/position
Singer-songwriter miwa captivates many fans with her translucent vocals and down-to-earth lyrics.
Released in August 2012 as her ninth single, this song was selected as the theme for Fuji TV’s Monday 9 p.m.
drama “Rich Man, Poor Woman.” Stepping beyond her previous guitar-and-vocal style, it drew attention for incorporating a four-on-the-floor electronic sound.
The lyrics, themed around the distance between people in the internet age, are notable for expressing feelings that seem within reach yet remain out of grasp, using light as a metaphor.
It became one of miwa’s signature songs, peaking at No.
4 on the Oricon weekly chart—her highest to that point—and later earning a million certification.
360°miwa6rank/position
“360°” by miwa, which drew attention as the theme song for the 2015 film Doraemon: Nobita’s Space Heroes.
Its lyrics, which teach the importance of human bonds and that everyone is special, perfectly capture the world of Doraemon! With its powerful, poppy vibe, the key on piano is to play energetically and brightly.
Keep the left-hand pulses and right-hand melody rhythms crisp, and aim for a clear tone.
Use the pedal sparingly to avoid muddying the sound.
441miwa7rank/position
A heartrending love song that portrays emotional misalignment, likened to a guitar’s tuning frequencies.
It conveys a strong desire to fix the rift that has formed between two people in love and restore harmony.
Released as a single in June 2011, this track was chosen as the theme song for the “Mune-kyun Sukatto” segment of Fuji TV’s “Tsuukai TV Sukatto Japan.” It’s recommended for those who feel uneasy about their relationship with someone important, or who sense a drift in their hearts yet still want to move forward.
