The 27th single “Torisetsu,” written as the theme song for the film Heroine Shikkaku, features lyrics like an instruction manual that depict the kind of maiden’s heart that men often find hard to understand, and it created a big buzz.

It also became popular as a wedding staple.

The rapid-fire melody in the A section makes breathing spots tricky, but because many parts progress with a steady pitch, once you memorize it, you’ll likely find it easier to sing than it sounds.

However, be careful in the chorus, where there are large leaps in pitch, so you don’t miss the notes.

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.

Happy SongNishino Kana

The song “Happy Song,” included as a B-side on the 19th single “Always.” Used as the CM song for the SONY WALKMAN F800 series, its positive lyrics over a four-on-the-floor beat give you a boost.

The key is generally on the higher side throughout, but the vocal range isn’t very wide and there aren’t many pitch jumps, so it’s easy to sing if you set it to a key that suits you.

It’s an upbeat tune that will liven up karaoke—perfect for belting out to blow off steam when you’re feeling down or stressed.

The 24th single “Darling,” chosen as the Tuesday theme song for the information program Mezamashi TV.

The lyrics, which evoke unexpected feelings and the happiness found in that situation, paired with a lively ensemble, warm your heart.

The song starts in a high key and the melody moves quickly, which can be challenging, but because the overall range—including the chorus—is narrow, you can set it to a key that suits you and sing it comfortably.

It’s a cute pop tune we’d love for you to sing at karaoke with someone special.

GO FOR IT !!Nishino Kana

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.

I’m sorryNishino Kana

The song “Gomen ne” is included on the 5th album “with LOVE.” The contrast between the delicate sound of the acoustic guitar riding a triple meter and lyrics that portray the difficulty of being honest with a partner really resonates.

While the vocal range is narrow and the song is easy to sing, the quick, finely rising-and-falling melody can cause pitch slips, so sing calmly.

With its relaxed tempo, it’s a heartwarming number that should be easy even for those not very used to karaoke.

We Don’t StopNishino Kana

We Don’t StopNishino Kana

The 23rd single “We Don’t Stop,” chosen as the theme song for the first season of the TV drama “Hanasaki Mai ga Damattenai.” Its powerful and positive lyrics, which feel like they spur you on, may serve as a supportive cheer for those caught up in the busyness of daily life.

While the melody has lots of movement, it stays within a narrow range, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

However, there is a rather high-pitched phrase partway through, so if you’re not confident with high notes, try adjusting the key before taking it on.
