By Miho Miyaji / Sports Hochi Staff WriterSinger-songwriter miwa gets an overwhelming amount of support from her young fans. Her eagerly awaited fifth album “Splash World” has recently been released, to the delight of her devotees.

Despite her small frame, miwa, 26, has a strong, clear voice that never fails to impress her audiences, and her songs’ melodies pull at the heartstrings of listeners.

Water is the theme of her new album, and the first song on the album, “Splash,” is filled with her views on life and nature.

“Water is a fundamental element of life. We can’t live without it. On the other hand, water doesn’t stop at one point. It flows, circulates and comes back.
