Happy SongNishino Kana50rank/position

Happy Song

The song “Happy Song,” included as a B-side on the 19th single “Always.” Used as the CM song for the SONY WALKMAN F800 series, its positive lyrics over a four-on-the-floor beat give you a boost.

The key is generally on the higher side throughout, but the vocal range isn’t very wide and there aren’t many pitch jumps, so it’s easy to sing if you set it to a key that suits you.

It’s an upbeat tune that will liven up karaoke—perfect for belting out to blow off steam when you’re feeling down or stressed.

Kana Nishino 'Type A Song' MV (Short Ver.)

A track included on the 2015 release “Secret Collection ~RED~,” it’s a song that really captures the traits of Type A and resonates with Type A women.

The lyrics vividly depict the common tendencies of Type A women, so it’s a song I’d like men who have fallen for a Type A woman to listen to.

Magical Starshine Make-up☆

Released for streaming on July 23, 2025, this is a sparkling self-affirmation anthem dedicated to everyone working hard every day.

It celebrates the joy of transforming yourself into someone more captivating through makeup and fashion, and it’s a feel-good cheer song with a positive worldview and cute choreography with dancers that’s sure to lift your spirits when you sing along.

The song overall feels singable mostly in chest voice, with the energy gradually rising from the pre-chorus and the range moving higher.

To transition smoothly from low to high notes, try lifting your eyebrows and keeping a smile—this helps you sing without straining your throat and makes it much easier.

Also, when you project your voice, do it confidently without hesitation!

Kana Nishino 'Distance (short ver.)'

Kana Nishino’s love songs are hugely popular among women of her generation.

Even among her unrequited-love songs, there are tracks like “Aitakute Aitakute” and “GO FOR IT!!” that express feelings straightforwardly.

But for college students who are beginning to experience that ambiguous distance between being friends and being something more, I recommend this song as well.

It conveys the aching sadness of chasing and chasing yet never reaching.

Many listeners seem to relate to the pain of wanting to lock their hearts but being unable to stop their feelings.
