From Asia to the World — A New Era of Sound アジアのシーンを牽引するアーティストたちとの対話を通して、“アジアミュージック”という未定義のカルチャーに輪郭を与えていく。 ■ Miisha Shimizu（清水美依紗） From TikTok covers to Disney, Wicked and Miss Saigon — a voice that refuses to fit one category. Miisha Shimizu is a singer, musical theatre actress and voice artist from Mie, Japan, raised by a Filipino mother she calls her guiding light. After two years of musical theatre school in New York, the pandemic sent her home with her dream close to slipping away — until her mother suggested posting her singing on TikTok. One year later, Disney Japan called: she became the voice of "Starting Now," the Japanese theme song for Disney's Ultimate Princess Celebration. Since her 2022 major debut "High Five," she has voiced Glinda in the Japanese dub of the film Wicked — the very role of her lifelong idol Ariana Grande — and played Éponine in Les Misérables. In 2026 she takes on her dream role: Kim in Miss Saigon, the part made legendary by Lea Salonga. Her songs include "TipTap," "Home," "Wave" and the new single "Reunion." Her five-year goal: a Grammy nomination — with a song written in Japanese. TikTokのカバー動画からディズニー、『ウィキッド』、そして『ミス・サイゴン』へ——ひとつのカテゴリーに収まらない歌声。 三重県出身のシンガー・ミュージカル俳優・声優。フィリピン人の母のもとで育ち、その存在を「人生の道しるべ」と語る。高校卒業後にニューヨークでミュージカルを2年間学ぶも、パンデミックで帰国。夢を諦めかけたとき、母の「TikTokに歌を投稿してみたら」という一言が転機になった。投稿から約1年でディズニーから直接オファーが届き、「Starting Now 〜新しい私へ」（アルティメット・プリンセス・セレブレーション日本版テーマソング）の歌唱アーティストに抜擢される。2022年に「High Five」でメジャーデビュー。映画『ウィキッド ふたりの魔女』日本語吹替版では、憧れ続けたアリアナ・グランデが演じるグリンダ役の吹替を担当し、ミュージカル『レ・ミゼラブル』ではエポニーヌ役を務めた。2026年は夢の役だった『ミス・サイゴン』キム役に挑む。代表曲に「TipTap」「Home」「Wave」、最新シングルはアニメ『天は赤い河のほとり』エンディングテーマ「Reunion」。5年後の目標は、日本語の楽曲でグラミー賞にノミネートされること。 ■ FOLLOW MIISHA SHIMIZU Official Website: https://www.universal-music.co.jp/shimizu-miisha/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miisha3148/ X: https://x.com/mEry97239295 X (Staff): https://x.com/miishastaff TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mii3148 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_2LUSHUA3gusbD-KPBzkfg Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/intl-ja/artist/2ITl7YzD1Hm6NVojBhKkOp Official Fan Club "NAMASTE": https://miisha0310.fanpla.jp/ ■ YUGEN OFFICIAL Web Site: http://ygen.net/

■ REIKO BMSG on Being a Third Culture Kid in J-Pop
REIKO is a Filipino-Japanese R&B singer signed to BMSG, the Tokyo label founded by SKY-HI, discovered through the 2021 audition series THE FIRST with no formal training in singing or dance. A self-described "third culture kid" who writes across Japanese, English, and Tagalog, he has become one of the most distinctive new voices in Japanese pop — and one of the very few carrying Tagalog into it.His catalogue moves freely between the two countries that made him: "LOVE DEEPER," built on a sample of Toshinobu Kubota, a founding figure of Japanese R&B, and "Folklore Vol.1 – Tadhana / Multo," his Tagalog covers of Up Dharma Down and Cup of Joe — two of the most beloved names in modern Filipino music.In 2024 he played his first show outside Japan in Manila, his first time back in the country since he was seven. Bridging Tokyo and Manila, REIKO carries both sounds to the world.
