Widely considered one of Japan's most popular songstresses of the late 2000s and 2010s, she gained early popularity with the R&B singles "Tookutemo" (with rapper WISE) and "Kimi ni Aitaku Naru Kara." Her first studio album, LOVE one. (2009), debuted at number four on charts and went on to become certified platinum. She achieved further success with her sophomore and first number-one album, To Love (2010), which was preceded by the singles "Motto...," "Dear...," "Best Friend" and "Aitakute Aitakute" which were all certified "million" for full song downloads of over 1 million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ), establishing Nishino as a dominant force on music charts and digital platforms. The Triple Platinum certified album became the third best-selling album of 2010 and the single "Aitakute Aitakute" was the hottest selling digital song of the year.[1][2] While enjoying mammoth mainstream success with her following records Thank You, Love (2011), LOVE Place (2012) and With Love (2014), Nishino's music also evolved from R&B to pop.

In the mid-2010s, she successfully ventured into country pop with the singles "Darling" (2014) and "Torisetsu" (2015). The latter, the theme song of the live action film Heroine Shikkaku, became the best-selling digital song of 2015 with over one million copies sold.[3] She subsequently released the albums Just Love (2016) and Love It (2017), certified platinum and gold respectively. In 2016, she won the Grand Prix at the 58th Japan Record Awards for her single "Anata no Suki na Tokoro," the first female solo artist to do so since Koda Kumi in 2005.[4] In 2017, she reached a new milestone when becoming the youngest female solo artist and the first female one born in the Heisei era to perform at the prestigious Tokyo Dome as part of the Kana Nishino Dome Tour 2017 "Many Thanks."

Due to her popularity with the Japanese female audience, Nishino appears frequently on fashion magazine covers and she is usually regarded as a fashion icon. It was particularly apparent in her early days due to her association with the Gyaru fashion subculture, leading her music to be referred to as "Gyaru Enka" ("Gyaru heartbreak songs").[5] In 2009, CNN said that she was the favorite singer of teenage girls in Shibuya, Tokyo.[6] Nishino is also known for her "relatable" lyrics about love. She was awarded "Artist of the Year" two times in 2014 and 2015 by Billboard Japan. Since her debut, she has sold over six million records and over 46 million downloads, making her one of the most successful female artists in the digital chart history of Japan.[7]

On January 8, 2019, Nishino announced an "indefinite" hiatus starting on February 3 of the same year and returned to the music industry in 2024.

1989–2007: Early life and career beginnings

edit

Kana Nishino was born on March 18, 1989, in Matsusaka, Mie Prefecture.[8] From an early age, Nishino had an interest in living abroad, so she decided to stay with a host family in Guam when she was in the fifth grade of elementary school and in Los Angeles when she was in her first year of high school. After returning home from Los Angeles, she began learning folk songs under the tutelage of an acquaintance of her mother's.[9][10]

In 2005, when Nishino was 16 years old, her mother signed her up for the “Super Heroine Audition Miss Phoenix,”[11] an audition jointly held by Kadokawa Pictures and Sony Music Artists Inc.[9] Despite the fact that it was an actress audition, Nishino's singing voice was discovered among the 40,000 applicants.[8][12] In 2006, she signed a contract with Sony Music Entertainment Japan and spent three years of high school as a preparation period, learning Tsugaru folk songs, taking vocal training and constantly practicing with her mother.[10] In 2007, while preparing for her debut, she began to attend an undisclosed university to study English literature.[13] At the time she met Australian duo Nervo, who offered Nishino a song called "I Don't Wanna Know" for use in her music project.

Artistry

edit

The songs she sang at the audition were "Shooting Star" by Hattan Amika and "The Perfect Vision" by Minmi.[137] She later performed with her idol Minmi.[138] She lists J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez, The Marshall Mathers LP by Eminem and "Blue Velvet" by Shizuka Kudo as albums and songs that shocked her when she was in elementary school. Eminem in particular was what got her started listening to hip hop. She was into reggae from junior high school to her first year of college. After studying abroad in the United States, she became obsessed with Western music, and was fascinated by hip hop, R&B and reggae, as well as female singers such as Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, and Ciara. Nishino doesn't usually listen to Japanese pop music, preferring more indie-ish stuff like Japanese reggae.[139] Most of her songs released as singles are about love or friendship, but the B-sides and album tracks tend to be club songs or R&B songs with plenty of English lyrics.[140]
