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

Kana Nishino, an artist who resonates with many through her love songs, wrote the lyrics infused with her own unvarnished emotions.

The song is also included on the album “Love Place,” released the following year.

I fall in love with you againNishino Kana31rank/position

Kana Nishino “Falling in Love with You Again” MV Full

Kana Nishino’s new song “Mata Kimi ni Koi wo Suru” (“Falling in Love with You Again”).

With the Heisei-era songstress returning to the scene, it’s already drawing attention among women in their 20s and 30s.

This new track of hers incorporates a hip-hop flavor throughout.

Rather than full-on hip-hop, it’s arranged with a gentle, airy tone reminiscent of Vaundy, and it’s characterized by keeping the A verse, B verse, and chorus centered in the midrange.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Even if we’re far apart (feat. WISE)Nishino Kana32rank/position

Kana Nishino “Even If We’re Far Apart feat. WISE” (Love Collection Tour ~pink & mint~)

Released in 2009 as her fifth single, Kana Nishino’s “Tookutemo.” The song features hip-hop musician WISE and was created after Nishino approached people on the street for a TV program and interviewed a real couple in a long-distance relationship.

It vividly portrays the emotional sway between the anxiety of not being able to meet because of the distance and the overpowering love that surpasses that anxiety.

With feelings of “I really like you” and “I love you,” we want to overcome the uncertainty, don’t we?

With YouNishino Kana33rank/position

Kana Nishino 'With You' MV Full

With You, released in May 2025, is easier to sing compared to Kana Nishino’s other songs because the chorus doesn’t go very high and you can mainly use chest voice.

The song’s range is G#3 to C#5, staying in the mid register, and the track itself is short at about two and a half minutes, so it should be easy to memorize! The highest note, C#5, appears in those occasional ad‑lib-like English phrases.

It’s perfectly fine to use falsetto there.

For the verse (A), pre-chorus (B), and chorus, pay attention to the rhythm in each section.

In the A section, there’s a spoken feel, so value the space between phrases.

The B section is distinctive—think “ta-taa ta-taa ta-taa ta-taa,” taking the rhythm carefully one by one.

In the chorus, be mindful of the ends of the beats.

Stay calm and work through each part step by step!

True to Kana Nishino’s style of vividly expressing young women’s feelings about love, it’s a love song that clearly conveys those nameless emotions that well up when you fall in love.
