Nishino Kana is a J-Pop artist under Sony Music Entertainment. She debuted on February 20, 2008 with her single I.

From when she was little, Nishino learnt English from eikaiwa schools, and went to America twice. She then was interested in various genres of music, including hip-hop, R&B and reggae. On the other hand, she also enjoyed traditional Japanese literature, and started singing Japanese folk songs. Her dream of becoming a singer started from junior high school. When she was 16 her mother secretly sent a demo tape of hers to the Miss Phoenix Audition (ミス・フェニックスオーディション), and she was rated the top singer entrant out of approximately 40,000 applicants. A year later in 2006, she was signed to SME Records.

In 2007 while preparing to be a singer, she was also studying English literature at university. 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. Nishino rewrote the song's lyrics into Japanese herself, and re-titled it I.

In December 2007 her official site opened, and from that time onwards *I* ~Merry Christmas ver.~ was available as a digital download from several Japanese sites, including mora.jp. Interestingly, the original version of the song I Don't Wanna Know was available as a digital download on the American iTunes from New Years' Day onwards. The physical version was released two months later, on the 20th of February.


Her second single Style is used as the 2nd ending theme song for the animation Soul Eater and the lastest 4th single Make Up is used for the ONA Chocolate Underground from UK's miniseries Bootleg with one of its songs, Kirari, as inserted song...[edit]Last edit by tg4917 on Sunday 31 Jan, 2010 at 12:40 +1.3%[/edit][edit]Last edit by Ravenxmiscix on Monday 22 Dec, 2008 at 10:28 +6.3% Reason: update[/edit][edit]Last edit by Ravenxmiscix on Monday 22 Dec, 2008 at 10:20 +11.1% Reason: update[/edit]
