Kana Nishino’s easy-to-sing songs: A collection of tracks that feel great to sing at karaoke (1–10)
As isNEW!Nishino Kana
Composed by Saeki youthK with lyrics written by Kana Nishino herself, the song captures the gentle yet bittersweet feelings of everyday happiness and the wish for time with a lover to last forever.
Because it features Kana Nishino’s signature opening falsetto riff, it would be nice if you can sing that part lightly as well.
The melody itself is simple and easy to remember, and if you follow the lyrics straightforwardly, you should be able to sing it with a good rhythm.
There’s a key change before the last chorus and the vocal range rises, so be careful not to let your voice crack.
Since the range gets higher, try to use more breath and project your voice energetically as if sending it up and out from above your head.
More…NEW!Nishino Kana
This is a hit song about a bittersweet, aching love, released on October 21, 2009.
It was featured in a “RecoChoku” commercial and used as the theme song for the NTV drama “Detective M,” achieving over a million full-track downloads.
It’s a ballad that deeply resonated with the mobile phone generation of the time, singing about the anxiety and affection toward lovers who are growing apart.
Because the chorus is structured to really stick in your head, the impressions of the A and B sections might feel a bit faint.
For the A section, clear phrasing is important—don’t rush it.
The B section switches to falsetto frequently, so if you keep your delivery light overall, you’ll be able to transition smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.
It’s recommended to sing as if you’re always resonating in the head.
Have a nice dayNEW!Nishino Kana
This is a poppy, lighthearted cheer song written in 2016 as the theme for “Mezamashi TV,” supporting a day in the life of working women.
Included on the album “Just LOVE,” it’s a refreshing hit known for lyrics that energize you on your commute to school or work and its bright melody.
It’s cherished by many fans as a morning send-off anthem—like saying “Have a great day!” every day.
Since the tempo has a good groove, if you memorize the lyrics you’ll be able to sing it smoothly.
Because there are many words and it feels like you’re singing continuously, rather than belting it out, use your body to keep a steady rhythm and remember to breathe well.
You…NEW!Nishino Kana
It’s an insert song from the drama “Freeter, Ie wo Kau.” and a heartwarming ballad.
With lyrics themed around the love that supports someone important and a clear vocal tone, it became the artist’s best-selling single and was certified million for full-track downloads, making it a signature song.
Because it involves frequent shifts between chest voice and falsetto, relax your shoulders and stay loose when singing.
The tempo is gentle, so aim for a calm, composed delivery.
There’s a key change before the last chorus that raises the range, so be careful not to force your voice or belt recklessly.
Try to sing with a slender, focused tone, as if resonating from the crown of your head.
PopNEW!Nishino Kana
This is the 30th single, released on May 3, 2017, and it was used as the commercial song for the vitamin carbonated drink MATCH.
It’s a refreshing, encouraging pop tune that sings about the desire to “pop” away the stresses of daily work and chores, featuring universally relatable lyrics.
Rather than showcasing Kana Nishino’s high notes, this track is appealing for its lower register.
Since low notes tend to make you use your throat, be careful not to let the resonance drop downward.
It’s a bright, lively song, so if you keep your facial muscles lifted throughout and focus the resonance in the same spot, both low and high notes should come out more easily.
Also, lightly dancing with your body while singing helps you relax, so it’s recommended.
Magical Starshine Make-up☆NEW!Nishino Kana
Released for streaming on July 23, 2025, this is a sparkling self-affirmation anthem dedicated to everyone working hard every day.
It celebrates the joy of transforming yourself into someone more captivating through makeup and fashion, and it’s a feel-good cheer song with a positive worldview and cute choreography with dancers that’s sure to lift your spirits when you sing along.
The song overall feels singable mostly in chest voice, with the energy gradually rising from the pre-chorus and the range moving higher.
To transition smoothly from low to high notes, try lifting your eyebrows and keeping a smile—this helps you sing without straining your throat and makes it much easier.
Also, when you project your voice, do it confidently without hesitation!
AlwaysNEW!Nishino Kana
This is a ballad that portrays deep love and gratitude for those close to you—friends, partners, family—and the “love” you feel in everyday life.
It was released on November 7, 2012, and has maintained strong popularity, with a live performance video uploaded to the official YouTube channel in 2022.
The chorus is sung in a grand style, with a feeling of powering through in chest voice.
If you want to sing it in chest voice, you’ll need to be mindful of breath volume, explosive power, core support, and an open throat; otherwise, it can be quite difficult to carry it in chest voice.
However, the melody line is very simple, so starting with head voice is perfectly fine.
As you get used to it, begin focusing on those aspects where you can.
Once you gain familiarity, you’ll feel more relaxed and be able to sing more and more.
EsperanzaNEW!Nishino Kana
As Kana Nishino’s first “passionate summer love song,” it expresses burning feelings of love set to a Latin rhythm.
Released on May 18, 2011, its title means “hope” in Spanish, and the song portrays the intense emotions of a bittersweet unrequited love bordering on an illicit romance.
It was also chosen as the May theme song for the information program “Sukkiri!!”.
Incorporating flamenco-style guitar gives it a different image from Kana Nishino’s usual style.
The melody and rhythm themselves aren’t difficult, and if you sing the lyrics as they are, you should be able to catch the groove.
In the last chorus, the key changes and the vocal range rises, so if you imagine the pitches firmly before singing, your voice should come out smoothly.
No.1NEW!Nishino Kana
Among Kana Nishino’s many bittersweet songs, this one is especially known for conveying a confident side.
It’s an up-tempo, energetic love-boost anthem that sings of the strong desire to be someone’s “No.
1,” featuring lyrics themed around romantic strategy and self-confidence, paired with a glamorous sound.
The overall vocal range isn’t too high, so you should be able to sing it in a relaxed state.
The chorus is characterized by a catchy, rhythmic delivery; crisp, clear pronunciation works well.
Singing with a bright mindset will change the impression of your voice and make it easier to project.
Have fun singing it!
Even if we’re far apart (feat. WISE)NEW!Nishino Kana
Released on March 18, 2009, this is a true-story love song based on the artist’s own long-distance relationship.
Featuring WISE as a guest, the song expresses feelings that are both heart-wrenching and warm, resonating with many long-distance couples and becoming a hit that same year.
The overall melody is very simple, and the tempo is relaxed.
However, if you plan to sing WISE’s rap section in the middle, the tempo picks up, so it’s best to listen to it many times.
It’s more like continuous singing than keeping a strict beat, so it might help to memorize the lyrics, even roughly.
Once you clearly understand where the phrases are divided, it should become much easier to sing all at once.
