My Take
Misia's story begins on Tsushima, an island closer to Korea than to Tokyo. She left for Fukuoka at 14 and quit university to chase a recording career. Her 1998 debut and Everything made her a household name, but the image that stays with me is 2021: a girl from a small island singing the anthem at an Olympic opening ceremony in a rainbow dress.
