GO FOR IT !!Kana Nishino9rank/position

Kana Nishino 'GO FOR IT !!' MV Full

The 18th single “GO FOR IT!!,” which was used as the commercial song for Yamazaki Baking’s Lunch Pack.

It’s a track that many will relate to, with lyrics portraying the hesitation of unrequited love, set to a dazzling ensemble and a cute melody.

Although the song’s melody is fast with frequent pitch jumps, the overall vocal range is narrow, so try setting it to a key that suits your voice.

Also, since the chorus features high notes using falsetto, be careful not to slip off pitch when singing it at karaoke.

Kana Nishino “Pa” MV (Short Ver.)

Kana Nishino, who enjoys overwhelming support from women of her generation.

One of her charms is that many of her songs are realistic love tunes that capture feelings that make you want to say, “So true!” Her 30th single, Pa, released in 2017, is a very bright, feel-good track.

Since the song was used in a commercial for the carbonated drink MATCH, many people have probably heard it.

Let’s sing it out loud and get everyone hyped together!

I fall in love with you againKana Nishino11rank/position

Kana Nishino “Falling in Love with You Again” MV Full

Kana Nishino’s new song “Mata Kimi ni Koi wo Suru” (“Falling in Love with You Again”).

With the Heisei-era songstress returning to the scene, it’s already drawing attention among women in their 20s and 30s.

This new track of hers incorporates a hip-hop flavor throughout.

Rather than full-on hip-hop, it’s arranged with a gentle, airy tone reminiscent of Vaundy, and it’s characterized by keeping the A verse, B verse, and chorus centered in the midrange.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

With YouKana Nishino12rank/position

Kana Nishino 'With You' MV Full

With You, released in May 2025, is easier to sing compared to Kana Nishino’s other songs because the chorus doesn’t go very high and 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 phrases.

It’s perfectly fine to use falsetto there.

For the verse (A), pre-chorus (B), and chorus, pay attention to the rhythm in each section.

In the A section, there’s a spoken feel, so value the space between phrases.

The B section is distinctive—think “ta-taa ta-taa ta-taa ta-taa,” taking the rhythm carefully one by one.

In the chorus, be mindful of the ends of the beats.

Stay calm and work through each part step by step!

If there really is a destined person for meKana Nishino13rank/position

Kana Nishino “If My Soulmate Exists” MV (Short Ver.)

The 26th single, “Moshimo Unmei no Hito ga Iru no Nara,” was used as the ending theme for the information program Sukkiri!!.

It also served as the CM song for Otsuka Foods’ Vitamin Tansan MATCH and as the entrance march for the opening ceremony of the 88th National High School Baseball Invitational Tournament.

The arrangement is memorable for the way it progresses from a calm opening into a brisk ensemble.

While the melody is fast with many pitch movements, the overall vocal range isn’t very wide, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

With its quick shuffle beat, it’s a refreshing pop tune that you’ll want to pay attention to rhythm-wise when singing.

EsperanzaKana Nishino14rank/position

Kana Nishino “Esperanza” MV Full

Kana Nishino’s popular single features a passionate, Latin-inspired sound that evokes hope even amid sadness.

Centered on the theme of an unrequited love where the person you like already has a partner, the lyrics convey a heartfelt, unrelenting longing alongside a forward-looking resolve that resonates deeply.

It was selected as the May 2011 theme song for Nippon TV’s information program “Sukkiri!!” and won an Excellence Award at the 53rd Japan Record Awards.

The up-tempo rhythm woven by Spanish guitar and handclaps, together with the determination to keep looking ahead, strikes right at the heart.
