We Don’t StopNishino Kana37rank/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 and positive lyrics, which feel like they spur you on, may serve as a supportive cheer for those caught up in the busyness of daily life.

While the melody has lots of movement, it stays within a narrow range, making it easy to sing at karaoke.

However, there is a rather high-pitched phrase partway through, so if you’re not confident with high notes, try adjusting the key before taking it on.
