On February 2, 2007, he was second in the Moguls competition in Voss ; it remained his only podium in the World Cup to this day.

In the 2007/08 World Cup season, Nishi was classified in the top ten twice, and once in the 2008/09 World Cup season. At the 2009 World Cup in Inawashiro , he surprisingly won the silver medal in the dual moguls competition, where he had to admit defeat to the Canadian Alexandre Bilodeau in the finals. With two more top 10 results in the World Cup, Nishi qualified for the 2010 Winter Olympics , where he finished ninth in the Moguls competition.
