Kana Nishino’s easy-to-sing songs: A collection of tracks that feel great to sing at karaoke (21–30)

With YouNishino Kana

With You, released in May 2025, is easier to sing mainly in chest voice compared to Kana Nishino’s other songs because even the chorus doesn’t go that high.

The overall range is G#3 to C#5, staying in the mid register, and the song is short at about two and a half minutes, so I think it’s easy to memorize! The highest note, C#5, appears in those occasional ad-lib-like English parts.

It’s fine to sing those sections in falsetto.

There aren’t really any high notes overall, so focus on the rhythm in each section.

First, the A section has a spoken quality, so take care with the spaces between phrases.

The B section is distinctive: it goes like “ta-TA ta-TA ta-TA ta-TA,” taking each beat carefully.

In the chorus, pay close attention to the ends of the beats.

Stay calm and work through each part one by one.

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.

Best FriendNishino Kana

Best FriendNishino Kana

A ballad by Kana Nishino that straightforwardly conveys feelings of friendship and gratitude.

Set to a gentle melody, it expresses heartwarming lyrics about precious memories shared with a best friend and a bond of trust that never changes.

The song captures a moving affection for an irreplaceable person—someone you can sometimes encourage and sometimes be completely honest with.

Released in February 2010, it was chosen as the campaign song for NTT Docomo’s “Ganbare Jukensei ’09–’10.” One of my students also practiced this piece in vocal training; the falsetto after the chorus is especially high, so I had them focus on projecting firmly as if from above the head to keep the voice steady.

If you nail that part, I think you’ll be able to sing the rest comfortably.

SAKURA. I love you ?Nishino Kana

SAKURA. I love you ?Nishino Kana

Set against a beautiful spring scene where cherry blossoms dance, this is a pure, graceful song by Kana Nishino that poignantly portrays a woman’s heart caught between lingering feelings for a past love and the promise of a new one.

Delicate piano lines and her translucent voice gently wrap the bittersweet memories of love that resurface with the arrival of spring.

Released in March 2012, the track was featured in Sony’s Walkman “Play You.” commercial and included on the album Love Place.

It’s a gem of a ballad perfect for a spring night, where the heart’s wavering—between memories that return whenever you look up at rows of cherry trees and complex feelings for an ideal current lover—overlaps with the fleeting beauty of night sakura.

When singing it, confidently releasing your voice at the very start may help you catch the flow and carry the song.

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, positive lyrics that spur you on will likely serve as a boost for those pressed by the busyness of everyday life.

Although the melody moves a lot, it stays within a narrow range, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

However, since a fairly high-pitched phrase appears partway through, if you’re not confident with high notes, set the key accordingly before giving it a try.

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.

I’m sorryNishino Kana

The song “Gomen ne” included on the 5th album “with LOVE.” The contrast between the delicate sound of acoustic guitar over a waltz-like 3/4 rhythm and the lyrics portraying the inability to be honest with one’s partner really resonates.

Although it has a relatively narrow range and is easy to sing, the quick melody that moves up and down in small steps can make it easy to go off pitch, so try to sing it calmly.

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