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.

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!

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.

Because it makes me want to see youNishino 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.

Torisetsu, the 27th single written as the theme song for the film No Longer Heroine, features lyrics like an instruction manual that depict the delicate feelings of a young woman—something men often find hard to understand—and it generated a huge response, even becoming a popular staple at weddings.

The rapid-fire melody in the first verse makes breath timing tricky, but since many parts proceed at a steady pitch, once you memorize it, you may find it easier to sing than it sounds.

However, be careful not to miss the notes in the chorus, where there are large leaps in pitch.
