Kana Nishino 'No Matter How Much...' MV Full

The 15th single “Tatoe Donna ni…” was featured as the song for the SONY WALKMAN “Play You.” commercial.

The lyrics, which convey feelings for a former lover and a sense of regret, may overlap with many listeners’ own memories.

Its restrained vocal tone and low key make it easy to sing, and the relaxed tempo makes it approachable to try.

However, there are occasional leaps in pitch, so be careful not to lose track of the notes, including the pitches before and after.

Kana Nishino '15' Lyric Video

Kana Nishino, a female singer-songwriter who dominated the early 2010s music scene.

While she may not be the exact generation match for women in their early thirties, many of them still listened to her songs.

That’s why I recommend “15.” It marks a clear shift from her previous style, featuring a sound with some hip-hop influences.

The vocal lines are easy to sing, so consider adding it to your repertoire.

Kana Nishino “Dear Bride” MV (Short Ver.)

When you want to offer a heartfelt “congratulations” to a friend who’s getting married, the perfect choice is the single Kana Nishino released in October 2016.

Chosen as the theme song for the TV show Mezamashi TV and winner of that year’s Japan Cable Radio Awards, this work is a classic wedding song that portrays the bond between women.

Its lyrics, which bless the bride as she steps into a new future while expressing a touch of loneliness and an unchanging friendship, never fail to stir the heart with every listen.

It’s said to have been created during a period when many of her friends were getting married, and that authentic emotion is part of its charm.

Play it during a letter-reading performance or when you and friends exit the reception floor, and the venue will surely be wrapped in warm tears.

It’s a song you’ll definitely want to gift to a dear best friend as she embarks on a new chapter.

Kana Nishino 'Dear…' MV Full

This single was released on December 2, 2009, and was used in commercials for DOCOMO supporting exam-takers, as well as in commercials for RecoChoku.

The song’s overall vocal range spans two octaves from F3 to F5, with the verse being quite low and then exploding into a very high register in the chorus.

Although Kana Nishino’s songs are generally perceived as consistently high, there are many tracks like “Dear…” that also use low notes, which makes the range broader.

However, because the tempo is relaxed, as long as you manage your breathing properly, you should be able to maintain the stamina to sing the whole song.

Rather than focusing only on the high notes, be mindful not to let the low notes in the verse sound muffled.

Low pitches tend to drop into the throat, so the key is to raise your eyebrows and project the voice forward as if pushing it out.
