Kana Nishino “I Love You” MV Full

The 33rd single “I Love You,” chosen as the theme song for the film My Little Monster, features lyrics that candidly express feelings for a loved one, enriched by an ensemble highlighting piano and acoustic guitar for added warmth.

With its relaxed tempo and relatively understated melodic line, it’s likely easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident vocalists.

Although the chorus melody is a bit faster, the pitch doesn’t change much, making it a pop tune that’s less prone to mistakes even in karaoke.

Feeling in loveNishino Kana

Kana Nishino 'Feelings of Love' MV Full

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.

It’s a pop tune brimming with both cuteness and heartache—perfect to casually sing at karaoke with someone you’re interested in.
