Osaka ShigureHarumi Miyako
Harumi Miyako is an enka singer known for her powerful vocals, often referred to as the “Harumi-bushi,” which leave a strong impression.
If you’re familiar with enka, you’ve surely heard of her.
While her songs are generally considered to be quite challenging, there are also some catchy ones among them.
One I especially recommend is Osaka Shigure.
Compared to her typical style, which features growling, shout-like vibrato, this song uses more high-pitched kobushi (ornamental turns), so it doesn’t demand as much sheer power.
At the same time, the melody itself is bright, making it both easy to sing and a crowd-pleaser.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced karaoke songs that are loved across generations, from enka to pop.
Use this as a guide for your song choices—it’s sure to make your special time even more exciting.
We carefully selected songs that are easy to sing, so belt them out with your close friends and make wonderful memories.
May it be a heartwarming moment filled with joyful voices resonating together.
