miwa “Synchro” Music Video

A track from miwa’s EP “Kimi ni Koishita Toki kara,” released in August 2022.

At first listen it sounds like a very catchy, singable pop song, but if you listen closely, you’ll notice skillful shifts in vocal placement, especially in the higher sections.

The groove also has a slightly bouncy feel that many Japanese singers find challenging.

If you can nail this perfectly at karaoke, you’ll definitely grab everyone’s attention! If the rhythm of your singing gets flat, it can ruin the song, so be sure to listen carefully to the beat of the backing track (karaoke) and keep a solid sense of rhythm as you sing.

miwa 'Smile'

It’s a song released in 2013 by singer-songwriter miwa that became a hot topic for its music video, which was a collaboration with the French picture book “Penelope.” According to miwa, it was created with the theme of “pure feelings for someone,” and it’s a track she hopes people will listen to when they’re feeling down or need a boost.

miwa “Teenage Dream” Music Video

A youthful, energetic number that charges straight toward its dreams.

It was written as the opening theme for the anime BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS.

Miwa opened up a new frontier with Hikari e, but Teenage Dream might be the most band-driven sound in her career.

Those times when you can lose yourself completely are so much fun—they make you feel alive, don’t they? Playing in a band with your friends can give you those beautiful moments that capture a page of youth.

It’s catchy, so I think a wide range of people can enjoy it at school and cultural festivals.

Drive Song

Here’s the perfect one-and-only driving song from the eternal guitar girl, miwa: “Drive Song.” With lines like “I’ve put together songs I want you to listen to while driving” and “You look way too wonderful behind the wheel,” there are so many swoon-worthy moments in the lyrics—it’s honestly heart-fluttering! You can’t help but fall for the girl in the song after just one listen, right? During Golden Week there are lots of cars out and occasional traffic jams, but if this track is playing in the car, you’ll be totally fine! It’s especially recommended for those heading toward Odaiba and crossing the Rainbow Bridge!
