A supreme ballad that makes you realize it’s a miracle just to have someone precious here and now.

How about turning your overflowing feelings for that special someone into song? Singer-songwriter miwa, whose crystal-clear voice captivates listeners, released this as her 8th single back in February 2012.

This release includes, as a B-side, the opening theme for a Nintendo 3DS title, and the track is also featured on the acclaimed album “guitarium.” It’s a ballad that carefully weaves the tremors of a wavering heart, with the charm lying in the delicacy of breath and the spaces between words.

Waves of earnest emotion—so intense they tighten your chest—reach straight into the listener’s heart.

Set to a beautiful melody with piano and strings, this adorable piece is recommended when you want to express your true self at karaoke with friends your age.

To Hikarimiwa3rank/position

miwa “To the Light - short ver.”

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?

miwa 'To the Light' Music Video

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.

miwa “Reboot” Music Video

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.

miwa 'Unrequited Love'

A song by miwa that sings of a love so straightforward it hurts.

The earnest, pure feelings of a girl, delivered through miwa’s exquisitely clear voice, pierce straight into the heart.

Released in February 2012, this piece was also used as the ending theme for tvk’s program “saku saku.” It’s known as the first song miwa performed on piano.

Confessing feelings for someone who already has a partner or for someone you can never be with will inevitably cause someone pain.

And yet, love is hard to give up so easily—that’s the tormenting part of it.

Why not try to get through the pain of unrequited love together with this song?

360°miwa7rank/position

360° miwa Piano Sheet Music - Theme Song from 'Doraemon the Movie: Nobita and the Space Heroes'

“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.
