Kana Nishino “Best Friend” [Track on 15th Anniversary ‘ALL TIME BEST’]

It’s a heartwarming friendship song that expresses gratitude to a best friend who supports you in both good times and bad, written plainly and straight from the heart.

Released in February 2010 by Kana Nishino—an artist beloved for her cute vocals and relatable lyrics—the single was chosen as the campaign song for NTT Docomo’s “Ganbare Jukensei” (Good Luck, Exam Takers) campaign.

It was later included on the classic, hit-making album “to LOVE.” This track brightens spring events—a season of partings like graduations and moving on to new schools.

How about using it as the BGM for an Instagram Reels video that compiles beautiful cherry blossom scenes and cherished photos, dedicated to a dear friend with whom it may no longer be easy to meet as before, as you both step forward onto a new stage?

Kana Nishino “If My Soulmate Exists” MV (Short Ver.)

In the 2010s, Kana Nishino enjoyed overwhelming popularity with her love songs.

Her realistic lyrics—said to be written based on her own and her friends’ experiences—resonate with many people.

Among her many cute tracks, one I particularly recommend is “If There’s Such a Thing as a Soulmate.” It’s a medium-tempo pop tune released in 2015, composed by Takashi Yamaguchi, who also worked on “Darling.” The lyrics, themed around the idea of a “soulmate,” are romantic, portraying the dilemma between reality and ideal in a charmingly relatable way.

One of Kana Nishino’s greatest appeals is how she can make songs that feel like snippets of inner monologue come across as irresistibly charming.
