Kana Nishino “Magical Starshine Makeup☆” MV Full

This song has a super cute title—just seeing it makes you feel stronger and more energized! The slightly spoken part in the A section feels very K-pop, but from the B section the style shifts and you get more of a “singing” vibe.

The overall vocal range is G3 to F5, which is on the higher side, but for those comfortable with head voice, it’s very easy to sing.

Lately, Kana Nishino has been incorporating a bit of rap into her songs, which gives them a different feel from before; it means there’s more to learn, but if you think of it as “several songs within one,” it becomes fun! Rather than memorizing the entire song at once, I recommend learning it melody by melody.

The transition from the A section to the B section is very important, so don’t suddenly push your voice—prepare your voice first, then aim far and sing clearly!

Princess Princess, a trailblazing all-girl band.

“Diamonds” was their seventh single, released in 1989, and it became a million seller.
