Kana Nishino’s Most Popular Karaoke Songs Ranking [2026]

We Don’t StopNishino Kana43rank/position

Kana Nishino “We Don’t Stop MV (Short Ver.)”

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.

Yeah – Kana Nishino

The song “YEAH,” included on the 6th album Just LOVE.

Its lyrics depict the giddy scenes of spending time with someone you like, likely making many people recall their own youth with a sweet, bittersweet feeling.

It requires some care because there are many rapid-fire melodic lines and occasional leaps in pitch, but there are also plenty of sections that progress at a steady pitch, making it approachable for karaoke.

It’s a stylish pop tune that boosts your energy whether you’re singing or listening, and one you’ll want to add to your repertoire.

Kana Nishino ‘As I Am’ Live Performance

Composed by Saeki youthK with lyrics written by Kana Nishino herself, the song captures the gentle yet bittersweet feelings of everyday happiness and the wish for time with a lover to last forever.

Because it features Kana Nishino’s signature opening falsetto riff, it would be nice if you can sing that part lightly as well.

The melody itself is simple and easy to remember, and if you follow the lyrics straightforwardly, you should be able to sing it with a good rhythm.

There’s a key change before the last chorus and the vocal range rises, so be careful not to let your voice crack.

Since the range gets higher, try to use more breath and project your voice energetically as if sending it up and out from above your head.

Kana Nishino “Gomen ne” Live on ‘with LOVE tour’

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.

GoodbyeNishino Kana47rank/position

Goodbye

Even though they didn’t grow to hate each other, they end up choosing to part ways due to drifting apart.

This is a poignant medium-tempo ballad by Kana Nishino that tightens the heart with the complexity of such an ending to love.

The way the protagonist tries to seal away the memories without truly accepting what happened feels strikingly real, likely because of the lyrics’ masterful grasp of the subtleties of romance.

Released in October 2013, the song is also known as the theme for the NHK serial drama “Glass no Ie” and is included on the album “with LOVE.” For those who have lost a love that couldn’t be saved by feelings alone and can’t yet move on, this song will gently whisper, “It’s okay—you don’t have to force yourself to forget.”

Kana Nishino 'More…' MV Full

This is a hit song about a bittersweet, aching love, released on October 21, 2009.

It was featured in a “RecoChoku” commercial and used as the theme song for the NTV drama “Detective M,” achieving over a million full-track downloads.

It’s a ballad that deeply resonated with the mobile phone generation of the time, singing about the anxiety and affection toward lovers who are growing apart.

Because the chorus is structured to really stick in your head, the impressions of the A and B sections might feel a bit faint.

For the A section, clear phrasing is important—don’t rush it.

The B section switches to falsetto frequently, so if you keep your delivery light overall, you’ll be able to transition smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.

It’s recommended to sing as if you’re always resonating in the head.

Into MeNishino Kana49rank/position

Kana Nishino 'Into Me' lyric video

This is a song that expresses feelings of love in a straightforward way.

While its upbeat tempo is striking, the lyrics portray the complexities of romance.

Included on the album “Love Again,” it was released in September 2024 and was also featured in a commercial for Fujitsu’s arrows series.

The phrase “Say you’re into me” is especially memorable, conveying the frustration of wanting to know how the other person feels but not being able to ask honestly.

It’s recommended not only for those struggling with love, but also for fans of Kana Nishino.

Blending a catchy pop sound with R&B elements, it’s a track that lets you savor both the sweetness and the bitterness of love at the same time.
