Kana Nishino, a singer known for hits like “Aitakute Aitakute” and “Torisetsu.” Her song “Dear…” is a great karaoke pick that sings of winter romance.

Her warm voice suits the cold season perfectly.

Among her songs, this one is relatively low in key, so it’s recommended for women who find high notes difficult.

The rhythm is simple too, making it a good choice for the first song to warm up your voice at karaoke.

It’s also a great song to sing when you go to karaoke with your partner!

Kana Nishino 'Dear...(short ver.)'

Kana Nishino’s song “Dear…” is her eighth single, released in 2009.

It reached No.

7 on the Oricon Singles Chart and was chosen as the official song for NTT Docomo’s “Ganbare Jukensei ’09–’10” campaign.

The lyrics, which express the sadness of not being able to see the person you love while studying for entrance exams, are truly heart-wrenching.

Winter is the final push for exam prep, but taking a little break to go to karaoke with your partner might be a nice way to refresh.

It’s said that “Dear…” is sung in the lowest vocal range among Kana Nishino’s songs, so definitely give it a try at karaoke!

Kana Nishino 'Funny' lyric video

Kana Nishino, a female singer-songwriter who was hugely active in the 2010s with catchy lyrics and melodies.

Even if you’re not exactly from the generation that hit her peak, I think many women in their 30s still listened to her work.

The track I recommend is Funny.

It’s catchy J-pop with a slight hip-hop flavor, and the vocals throughout are chill and understated.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Happy BirthdayKana Nishino34rank/position

Kana Nishino – Happy birthday

As the title suggests, this song is clearly a birthday tune.

It portrays a scene where friends surprise someone on their birthday, and it’s one of those “we’ve all been there” moments that really comes to life.

With surprise parties, seeing the person’s delighted face is great, but the planning itself is fun too.

This track is packed full of that kind of joy.
