He wrote and composed the theme songs for the anime adaptations of the mangas D.Gray-man, Hayate the Combat Butler and Yoshinaga-san Chi no Gargoyle.[3] The piece was performed by Toru Watanabe, who had also worked with misono's older sister, Koda Kumi, for the songs "Birthday Eve," "Hot Stuff," "you" and "Butterfly."[4] As with "end=START," misono wrote the lyrics.

"Shuuten ~Kimi no Ude no Naka~" was used as the ending theme for the feature film The Harimaya Bridge, in which misono acted in the role of Saita Nakayama.
