This article is about a music group. For other uses, see Nina. NiNa are a six-piece group formed in 1999 containing Kate Pierson (a member of the B52's), bassist Mick Karn (from the British group Japan), vocalist YUKI (from the Japanese rock band Judy and Mary), Takemi Shima and Masahide Sakuma, Japanese musicians from the Plastics, and Steven Wolf, the session drummer. Sakuma Masahide composed most of the music with input from Pierson and Yuki who also wrote the lyrics. From the 30-second opening track, which starts with ominous techno music and ends with Yuki and Pierson exclaiming "Hello everybody nice to meet you we're NiNa," the band's eponymous and only album is very diverse.

The Niña (the Spanish word for "girl") was one of the three ships used by Christopher Columbus in his first voyage towards the Indies in 1492. The real name of the Niña was Santa Clara. The name Niña was probably a pun on the name of her owner, Juan Niño. She was a caravel-type vessel.The other ships of the Columbus expedition were the Pinta and the Santa María. The Niña was by far Columbus' favorite. She was originally three-mast lateen sail rigged caravela latina, but she was re-rigged as caravela redonda at Azores with square sails for better ocean performance.

"Draumur um Nínu" (English translation: "A Dream About Nína", sometimes known as "Nína") was the Icelandic entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, performed in Icelandic by Eyjólfur Kristjánsson and Stefán Hilmarsson under the name "Stefán & Eyfi".The song, with its catchy piano intro, is a ballad, with the singers expressing their love for the tititular Nina. It appears that she can never be with them, however the reason for this is never explained. In 2002, Eyjólfur and Stefán performed the song at a concert in the Reykjavík City Theatre. The concert was recorded and the recordings were released on a CD.
