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.
