I’ve been a fan of Kana Nishino for a long time now since I started listening to her ever since she released “I” last year, but I never thought that my liking to her music would grow so big right now just because of Kimi ni Aitaku Naru Kara.
After she released Style., I really thought that she was gonna release an album. I was wrong since singles like MAKE UP, and Tokutemo showed up after, which was starting to bore me with Kana and her single releases. But again, just when I thought that she was finally releasing an album, she released another single entitled Kimi ni Aitaku Naru Kara, which almost made me give up with her music.
I then heard the radio rip of Kimi ni Aitaku Naru Kara once on YouTube, and it instantly turned me into an avid fan of Kana that I never was before.
What does she offer in this song that’s impossible to like? NOTHING. It is perfect, and I believe, it is Kana Nishino’s best track ever since the day her mother gave birth to her. lol. It sound really ridiculous, but it is true.
This Heartbreak-themed song talks about how the girl doesn’t want to talk to the guy or anything because it makes the girl miss the guy, or something like that.
I wanted to meet you, I was sad but I couldn’t say anything
I just wanted to hear a bit of your voice
If you notice me acting tough, don’t be kind
because then I’ll want to see you
Okay, doing those qoute-y things has got to stop. xD But In my opinion, it was quite nice to see Kana sing songs with more mature themes to it, because after I heard MAKE UP and Style.’s childish arrangements, I was afraid that more of that style would come.
But I am really serious when I said that this is her best song in her entire career. You can hear that Kana has gotten a lot better, vocally-speaking, and the fact that she released this pop-ballad just proves to us that she could do more than just cutesy pop songs, and pop/rock ballads.
I do not like the first B-side, Shitsuren Mode, because of many reasons. I’m too bored to write it on paragraph form so instead, I’ll write it as an ordered list. 
I do not like this track because:
- WISE is in here. I really liked him when he was in BoA’s My Way, Your Way, and Kana Nishino’s Tokutemo, but I don’t like him here because..
- WISE sounds like someone bored to death, and is just doing this song because he doesn’t have anything else to do.
- Kana’s vocals aren’t as good as the A-side, and her other songs, because this one sounds quite pitchy.
- The arrangement was sloppy.
- Purely B-side material.
Yeah. That’s about it. 
I was hoping for a better B-side as the next track, and Yes, I got something.
Again was a far more better track than Shitsuren Mode, but still, it doesn’t impress me. This guitar-driven song isn’t really good because the arrangement was quite boring, and it doesn’t suit Kana’s vocals. I love the guitar intro though. 
So, overall, Kimi ni Aitaku Naru Kara was an okay single. I thought the A-side was epic SUCESS, but the B-sides were total failures. They pretty much pulled the singles grade down so hopefully, we don’t see those horrible B-sides on LOVE one.
