Miwa Sasagawa, a singer-songwriter from Niigata Prefecture, makes her return to Billboard Live for the first time in two years. Since her major debut in 2003 with the single "Warai" (Laugh), this year marks the 20th anniversary of her debut. Her music, woven with words as unique as an essayist’s and her distinctive voice, has attracted attention, leading to songs being used as theme tunes for numerous commercials, dramas, films, and stage productions, and she has appeared at major festivals. Her live performances, both delicate and overwhelming, continue to resonate with many people. For someone who has sublimated the joys and sorrows of human life into song, this milestone stage is not to be missed.
