She was selected as the choreographic center for the first time for Nogizaka46's 8th single "Kizuitara Kataomoi", which was released on April 2, 2014. Her first solo song, "Hitoriyogari" was included on Nogizaka46's debut album Tōmei na Iro, which was released on January 7, 2015. Nishino's first photo book, titled Fudangi (Everyday Clothes), was published on February 18, 2015. It sold 36,000 copies in a week and ranked 1st on the Oricon weekly sales chart in the photobook category. She was the second member from Nogizaka46 to release a photo book, after Shiraishi.
Nishino returned to the center position for the group's 11th single, "Inochi wa Utsukushii", which was released on March 18, 2015. The single also included her second solo song, titled "Gomenne Zutto..." as a B-side. She appeared in the fashion magazine non-no as an exclusive model starting with the June 2015 issue. In July 2015 she played the lead role in the Nogizaka46 TV softball drama Hatsumori Bemars.
