Kana Nishino Popular Songs Ranking [2026]

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.

Kana Nishino “Pa” Live Performance

This is the 30th single, released on May 3, 2017, and it was used as the commercial song for the vitamin carbonated drink MATCH.

It’s a refreshing, encouraging pop tune that sings about the desire to “pop” away the stresses of daily work and chores, featuring universally relatable lyrics.

Rather than showcasing Kana Nishino’s high notes, this track is appealing for its lower register.

Since low notes tend to make you use your throat, be careful not to let the resonance drop downward.

It’s a bright, lively song, so if you keep your facial muscles lifted throughout and focus the resonance in the same spot, both low and high notes should come out more easily.

Also, lightly dancing with your body while singing helps you relax, so it’s recommended.

Even if we’re far apart (feat. WISE)Nishino Kana25rank/position

Even if it's far

Released on March 18, 2009, this is a true-story love song based on the artist’s own long-distance relationship.

Featuring WISE as a guest, the song expresses feelings that are both heart-wrenching and warm, resonating with many long-distance couples and becoming a hit that same year.

The overall melody is very simple, and the tempo is relaxed.

However, if you plan to sing WISE’s rap section in the middle, the tempo picks up, so it’s best to listen to it many times.

It’s more like continuous singing than keeping a strict beat, so it might help to memorize the lyrics, even roughly.

Once you clearly understand where the phrases are divided, it should become much easier to sing all at once.

Because it makes me want to see youNishino Kana26rank/position

Because it makes me want to see you

A heartbreaking “setsuna-kei” breakup song released on June 3, 2009.

It was the first track Kana Nishino herself was involved in composing, and its lifelike lyrics and vocals—almost like a real experience—generated buzz.

It was used in a RecoChoku commercial and as a power-play track on Music Fighter.

It was also reportedly the song she performed for her first appearance on Music Station.

The melody has a nostalgic feel, with clear low notes in the verses through the pre-chorus, then a sharp, defined vocal from the chorus that quickly ramps up the energy.

This contrast is crucial, so first try singing crisply with clear accents without worrying about pitch.

After you’ve sung it several times and gotten used to enunciating sharply, you can fine-tune the pitch.

GoodbyeNishino Kana29rank/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.”
