Miwa

I'll never get over how such a huge, sturdy voice comes out of someone barely under five feet tall. miwa plants herself behind that acoustic guitar, strums like she means it, and sings straight ahead with this stubborn brightness that just refuses to let you stay down. "don't cry anymore" and "ヒカリヘ" both have that knack of nudging you forward on a rough day without ever lecturing you, which is harder to pull off than people think. And there's something I love about the contrast: this soft, sunny presence who's also a Hayama beach kid with a Keio degree, clearly sharper and more grounded than the cute image lets on. To me, artists who keep writing in their own plain, honest words are the ones who stick around longest, and she feels built exactly for that long haul.
