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.

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.

This work blends the new blonde-haired image she revealed after resuming activities in 2026 with Kana Nishino’s signature love songs.

It’s a “lovers’ quarrel love song” that portrays a couple’s everyday tiffs like a scene from a movie, set to an indie rock–based band sound, humorously singing the honest feelings you can share only when there’s trust.

The track is a short 2 minutes and 18 seconds, so it’s perfect if you want to enjoy a different vibe than usual.

There are parts where the pronunciation isn’t fully clear in the melody and spots where it may be hard to catch the rhythm, so try listening multiple times while reading the lyrics.

This is a song that portrays a down-to-earth connection between lovers, expressing the quiet joys and anxieties of everyday life and the sense of security that comes from holding hands.

It’s a fan favorite that was previewed during the 2017 dome tour “Many Thanks.” Overall, it’s a slow-tempo piece that is sung gently throughout to a piano accompaniment.

When singing it at karaoke, it’s best to stay calm and keep a steady rhythm.

As you sing slowly, if you take a solid breath and exhale it fully and confidently, your body will resonate properly and your voice will sound assured.

For the smooth melody line at the start of the chorus, try to sing it in a single breath, as if you’re climbing a set of stairs.

Because it makes me want to see youNEW!Nishino Kana

A heartbreaking “setsuna-kei” breakup song released on June 3, 2009.

It was the first track Kana Nishino herself was involved in composing, and its lifelike lyrics and vocals—almost like a real experience—generated buzz.

It was used in a RecoChoku commercial and as a power-play track on Music Fighter.

It was also reportedly the song she performed for her first appearance on Music Station.

The melody has a nostalgic feel, with clear low notes in the verses through the pre-chorus, then a sharp, defined vocal from the chorus that quickly ramps up the energy.

This contrast is crucial, so first try singing crisply with clear accents without worrying about pitch.

After you’ve sung it several times and gotten used to enunciating sharply, you can fine-tune the pitch.

This is the 21st single, released on August 7, 2013, and the second installment celebrating the 5th anniversary of their debut—a mid-tempo ballad.

It’s a heartwarming breakup song that paints lingering feelings for an ex and beautifully bittersweet memories over a gentle melody composed by GIORGIO CANCEMI, known for tracks like “Aitakute Aitakute.” The melody itself is simple and easy to remember; just be mindful of the slightly rapid phrasing in the pre-chorus.

For the higher parts in the chorus, it’s fine to use falsetto to match the mood.

Since it’s a relatively long track at 5 minutes and 37 seconds, try singing it with dynamics to keep it engaging.
