Kana Nishino

Debuting in 2008, Kana Nishino became a fashion icon with her soulful voice and lyrics about love. Hit "もっと…" led to 16 consecutive RecoChoku #1s and 2015's "トリセツ" topped Billboard Japan. She won major awards in 2016 and was the first Heisei-born female solo artist to tour Tokyo and Osaka domes in 2017. With 5.8 million downloads and 2.4 billion streams, she paused her career in 2019, but announced a return with a 15th-anniversary collection in 2024.
