There isn't a separate J-Wiki article for Misia's song "Ashita e" (Toward Tomorrow), a track on her April 2011 10th studio album "Soul Quest", but Wikipedia does have an English-language article on the song.
"Ashita e" was created by the singer and Toshiaki Matsumoto（松本俊明）as a song of support and hope after the March 11th 2011 Tohoku Earthquake which had occurred several weeks earlier. As usual, her voice and the arrangements by Matsumoto (who was also on the piano and synthesizer) hit "Ashita e" out of the park, and perhaps on second thought, there is really no need to put up anything huge on the online encyclopedia or here. Just listening to the song is nourishment enough. However, I will add that Misia made her first appearance on the Kohaku Utagassen on NHK with this song at the end of 2012. "Soul Quest" itself peaked at No. 7 on Oricon.
