A quietly penetrating, lyrical ballad.

Mika Nakashima 'Wish' Music Video

Mika Nakashima, a singer who has continued to captivate fans since her debut with her translucent voice and exotic looks.

Her 47th single “Wish,” chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime Berserk: The Golden Age Arc – Memorial Edition, is a ballad whose grand ensemble stirs the heart.

The start of the chorus—entering with edge voice and shifting into falsetto—is both a highlight and a spot where it’s easy to go off pitch, so I especially recommend focusing carefully when singing it.

If you’re a woman who excels at high tones, paying attention not only to technique but also to dynamics will make you stand out even at karaoke, so give it a try.

Mika Nakashima 'As Honest As I Am' MUSIC VIDEO Shorts ver.

Mika Nakashima’s 2007 release “Sunao na Mama” (“As Honest As I Am”) is a song about a woman’s regret over not expressing her true feelings to her partner.

The track was written and composed by RYOJI of Ketsumeishi.

After breaking up with the man she loved and finding herself alone, her true, honest feelings begin to spill out.

It’s a song that won’t let go of the regret—if only she could have been more straightforward while they were together.

Many people have probably felt this way after a breakup.

It’s a song that women in the aftermath of heartbreak can deeply relate to.
