From when she was little, Nishino learned 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).
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.

In the song "Happy Half Year!" by Kana Nishino, the lyrics depict a relationship that has reached its six-month mark. The first verse talks about the progression of the relationship, from falling in love to dating and creating memories together. The nostalgic reference to making a boxed lunch and going on a trip together highlights the shared experiences and growth within the relationship. The chorus emphasizes the idea that disagreements and expressing love occasionally are a natural part of any relationship, but ultimately, the love and bond between the two individuals will endure.
The second verse delves into the challenges that come with being apart due to work obligations. Despite moments of loneliness and miscommunication, the lyrics suggest that these hardships are overcome by gestures like sending emails and making phone calls to stay connected. The playful reminiscence of a day where the singer dared to be a bit selfish adds a lighthearted touch to the narrative. The chorus reiterates the sentiment that even with occasional disagreements or insecurities, the love shared between the couple remains strong and enduring.
The bridge of the song shifts focus to the desire for the relationship to continue evolving and becoming a natural part of everyday life. The lyrics express a wish to explore more places, watch more movies together, and for the partnership to deepen further. The repeated lines "Eh oh eh oh oh oh" create a sense of rhythm and unity, emphasizing that despite any challenges, the relationship is worth holding onto. The bridge leads back into the chorus, reinforcing the message that love, despite its complexities, will prevail and bring comfort.
In the final verses, the lyrics acknowledge that moments of anger, tears, and vulnerability are all part of growing and understanding each other within a relationship. The acceptance of each other’s imperfections and the willingness to support one another through tough times is highlighted. The repeated affirmation that everything will be alright and that their love will endure underscores the theme of resilience and commitment. The song concludes with a sense of reassurance and mutual understanding between the couple, emphasizing that despite occasional difficulties, their love will always prevail.

Being in love and being together, before you know it, half a year has passed. Our memories and similarities have increased, right? Full of energy on a holiday, making a boxed lunch from the morning. The first time we went far away together. Do you remember that day?
帰り道の途中 渋滞にハマって ナビに怒ってる君 隣で寝ちゃう私 家につくまで 口もきかなくて ホント笑えるよね
On the way back home, stuck in traffic jam, you're getting angry at the navigation system while I fall asleep by your side. Until we get home, not saying a word, it's really funny, right?

That's alright, even if we occasionally fight, we only say 'I love you' occasionally, but that's enough. We'll be alright, awkward and childlike, you may be troublesome, but I love you always.
So that's alright baby So that's alright
So that's alright, baby. So that's alright.

A little apart from each other, it can't be helped because of work, but still lonely. Don't go, wake up in the morning and send emails, call immediately when free. The first time I was selfish. Do you remember that day?

Baby, I want us to become a matter of course that goes beyond the seasons until we are bored. There are still many places we want to go and many movies we want to see. Because there are still many, I'll always be with you.
たまに本気で怒って たまに大泣きして 全部見せ合って So that's alright
Sometimes getting really angry, sometimes crying a lot, showing everything to each other. So that's alright.
たまに不安になっても たまにしか言わない I love you 一つで yeah I'll be alright 泣き虫で 淋しがり屋で めんどくさい私だけど ずっとよろしくね
Even if you occasionally feel anxious, I don't say 'I love you' often, but that's enough. I'll be alright, I may be a crybaby, lonely, and a bit of a troublemaker, but please take care of me always.

Translation:
We fell in love, started dating
And now suddenly 6 months have passed
Our memories and similarities have increased
Lalala holiday, all fired up
I made a boxed lunch in the morning
And we went somewhere far for the first time
Do you remember that day?
On the way home
We got stuck in traffic
You, angry with the car navigator
Me, half-asleep in the passenger seat
We didn’t exchange a single word
During the trip home
It's funny now, isn't it?
That’s alright
We might argue sometimes
But after one not-often-said “I love you”
We’ll be alright
You’re clumsy, childish
And a hassle
But I’ll always love you
Eh oh eh oh oh oh
Eh oh eh oh oh oh
So that’s alright, baby
So that’s alright
Work put some distance between us
It couldn't be helped
But I felt lonely as expected. Don’t go
I mailed you the next morning
Call me as soon as you can
I made my first selfish request
Do you remember that day?
Calling you obsessively
During an important job
Me, glaring at my phone
You, completely oblivious
My bad mood didn’t go away
Until the next morning
It's funny now, isn't it?
That’s alright
I might feel insecure sometimes
But after one not-often-said “I love you”
I’ll be alright
I’m a cry-baby, I can’t stand being alone
And I’m a bother
But continue to love me, okay?
Eh oh eh oh oh oh
Eh oh eh oh oh oh
So that’s alright, baby
So that’s alright
Baby, let’s spend endlessly more seasons together
I want us being together to become common sense
There are still many places I want to go
And many movies I want to see, yeah
So I’ll always be with you
Getting truly angry sometimes
Bursting into tears sometimes
We show each other everything
So it’s alright
That’s alright
We might argue sometimes
But after one not-often-said “I love you”
We’ll be alright
You’re clumsy, childish
And a hassle
But I’ll always love you
That’s alright
I might feel insecure sometimes
But after one not-often-said “I love you”
I’ll be alright
I’m a cry-baby, I can’t stand being alone
And I’m a bother
But continue to love me, okay?
Eh oh eh oh oh oh
Eh oh eh oh oh oh
So that’s alright, baby
So that’s alright
