The song “Koisuru Kimochi” is included on the 5th album, “with LOVE.” Its lyrics, which depict feelings of love for someone whose presence feels a little too close, paired with a transparent-sounding ensemble, may leave you feeling sentimental.

The melody has little pitch fluctuation and the key isn’t very high, making it easy to sing, but be mindful not to fall behind because the tempo is quick.

With YouKana Nishino

With You, released in May 2025, is easier to sing compared to Kana Nishino’s other songs because even the chorus doesn’t go very high, so you can mainly use chest voice.

The song’s range is G#3 to C#5, staying in the mid register, and the track itself is short at about two and a half minutes, so it should be easy to memorize! The highest note, C#5, appears in those occasional ad-lib-like English parts.

It’s totally fine to sing those sections in falsetto.

The A and B sections and the chorus don’t really go into high notes, so focus on rhythm in each part.

First, the A section has a spoken quality, so take care with the spaces between phrases.

The B section is distinctive—think “ta-TA ta-TA ta-TA ta-TA,” taking each beat cleanly and deliberately.

In the chorus, pay close attention to the ends of the beats.

Stay calm and work through each step one at a time!
