In 1986, she released the Komuro Tetsuya penned single "My Revolution" and it became a hit, selling over million copies. Later that year, she kicked off her first concert, entitled "MISATO SPECIAL '86 KICK OFF" as a female solo singer. She also attended various musical events for musicians including the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum Concert ALIVE HIROSHIMA 1987-1997 with various musicians including Ogiki Yutaka, BARBEE BOYS, and THE BLUE HEARTS.
In 1988, she released her fourth album, ribbon, and it went onto sell over a million copies and have it's own concert tour. A year later, she went on a short term studying abroad to London. But it didn't stop Wanatabe from releasing more albums, singles, and performing at sold-out tours. From 1990 to 2005, she would also do a live concert on train, nicknamed the MISATO TRAIN.
Watanabe celebrated her ten year anniversary in 1995 with the release of her first best album, She loves you. Then to celebrate her twenty years, she would go out to appear on Kohaku Uta Gassen at the end of that year to perform her hit song "My Revolution".
