Misae was born in Tokyo. She began learning the organ at the age of 3 and changed to piano lessons when she was 5 years old.  She was recommended to apply to a conservatorium.  However, she had a dream to join an Airline and work as Cabin Crew. In 1989 her dream came true and she has been working for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as Cabin Crew. In 1993 she moved to the Netherlands for her work with KLM.  
After this move, she continued with her piano lessons, focusing on piano duets and piano quatre-mains. At a KLM staff party in 2007, she played quatre-mains with Wibi Soerjadi, an internationally recognized Indonesian-Dutch concert pianist and composer.  That was for Wibi, the first and only time that he played quatre-mains. From 2013 she has been playing piano in intermezzo during concerts of Airchestra, KLM symphony orchestra. Since 2016  she has been playing piano with an ensemble trio "MiMoSa muziek", and since 2022 with JWC (The Japan Women's Club in Nederland) ensemble group "Sakura", performing pieces she has arranged for piano and different instruments.
