Its lyrics portray the feelings of someone with an unrequited crush who doesn’t ask for much, and many listeners will likely find themselves relating it to their own experiences.

The melody moves up and down in small steps, but since the range isn’t very wide and the tempo is relaxed, it’s easy to sing calmly—even at karaoke.

Kana Nishino 'Always' MV Full

This is a ballad that portrays deep love and gratitude for those close to you—friends, partners, family—and the “love” you feel in everyday life.

It was released on November 7, 2012, and has maintained strong popularity, with a live performance video uploaded to the official YouTube channel in 2022.

The chorus is sung in a grand style, with a feeling of powering through in chest voice.

If you want to sing it in chest voice, you’ll need to be mindful of breath volume, explosive power, core support, and an open throat; otherwise, it can be quite difficult to carry it in chest voice.

However, the melody line is very simple, so starting with head voice is perfectly fine.

As you get used to it, begin focusing on those aspects where you can.

Once you gain familiarity, you’ll feel more relaxed and be able to sing more and more.

Magical Starshine Make-up☆

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!

Bedtime StoryNishino Kana27rank/position

Kana Nishino “Bedtime Story” MV (Short Ver.)

Written as the theme song for the film “3D Kanojo: Real Girl,” this was their final single before their 2018 hiatus, depicting a single-hearted love like a bedtime fairy tale.

The overall vocal range is calm at G#3–D5, with frequent use of low notes.

If you try to hit the high notes with a throaty voice right after producing the low notes in the A section, you’ll end up forcing it, your throat will close, and it will feel straining.

Be mindful of keeping your throat open by lifting your facial muscles or raising your eyebrows.

If you maintain an open throat and project properly, your voice will come out smoothly without catching, and you should feel how much easier it is.
