A veteran of classic enka, Tadashi Mikado delivers a richly emotive performance in this travel-themed enka set in Izu.
From the very beginning, you’re gripped by a melancholy yet beautiful melody that evokes the Amagi road at the end of autumn.

Blue PhotographSeiko Matsuda
Although it was originally a B-side single, this celebrated ballad won overwhelming support as a TV drama theme song.
The poignant melody blends beautifully with the world of the TBS drama “Ao ga Chiru,” and it likely remains deeply etched in many hearts.
When it was first released in October 1983, it was a B-side, but due to its strong reception it was reissued as a double A-side, and it held the No.
1 spot on TBS’s “The Best Ten” for eight consecutive weeks.
Seiko’s crystal-clear vocals express pure feelings for friends who part ways upon graduation.
It’s a gem of a song to revisit at life’s crossroads, as you look back on a radiant youth.
Blue Coral ReefSeiko Matsuda
It’s a classic with a striking intro that seems to carry the sparkle of the sun and the scent of the sea breeze.
You can picture a summer day by the ocean with someone you love—the racing heartbeat and the little burst of boldness that comes with it.
It evokes scenes of a sweet and dazzling romance.
This song, which propelled Seiko Matsuda to the status of “eternal idol,” was released in July 1980 as her second single and is also included on her debut album, SQUALL.
As the theme for Glico’s ice cream commercial, it brightened living rooms across the nation and topped The Best Ten for three consecutive weeks.
It’s a refreshing track that instantly paints listeners’ hearts in summer hues.
Eine KleineKenshi Yonezu
I get the impression that Kenshi Yonezu has quite a few low-range songs, so I think many of his tracks are easy for low-voiced men to sing.
The range of “Eine Kleine” is C#3–G#4.
Because the verses (A and B sections) sit very low, you might find the chorus high notes a bit tough, but it’s fine to sing them using a head-voice-based tone without forcing your chest voice.
To keep the sound from getting too thin, you can slightly strengthen the head voice or add a bit of rasp—both can enhance the vibe.
If I were a man, I’d definitely include Kenshi Yonezu’s songs in my repertoire.
Give them a try, everyone!
AhSuperfly
A song that offers deep healing, like letting out a big sigh on your behalf when you can’t give voice to your sorrow or pain.
The instrumental version included on the June 2011 album “Mind Travel” drew a huge response, and, answering the passionate calls from fans, it was later released as a single.
It was also featured in a short film at Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2011.
This is a work I’d like to dedicate to those whose hearts are utterly exhausted and who wish to quietly face themselves.
