Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

The stage name of MISIA, a female singer who has earned high acclaim both in Japan and abroad, was born from the desire to “bring music to people across ASIA.” Her 7th single, “Everything,” was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama Yamato Nadeshiko and became a massive hit that is now synonymous with MISIA herself.

Its grand ensemble, which evokes an ethereal snowy landscape, is sure to liven up karaoke sessions during the Christmas season.

Relatively easy to sing among MISIA’s songs, it has been a staple winter track for women at karaoke ever since its release.

Wish Upon the SnowMakihara Noriyuki

Wish Upon the Snow - Noriyuki Makihara (with lyrics)

Wish Upon the SnowMakihara Noriyuki

It’s a wonderful song that wishes and sings for a happy night for everyone.

Written by singer-songwriter Noriyuki Makihara, who has produced numerous hit songs, it was released in 1993 as his 10th single.

The mature yet gentle melody of the chorus is soothing.

At Christmas karaoke, we tend to get fired up thinking we have to pump up the crowd, but I think it’s nice to slip in a song like this to carefully set the mood in the room.
