North TavernTakashi Hosokawa
Takashi Hosokawa is one of Japan’s finest vocalists.
Early in his career he pursued a path as an enka singer, but after studying under Michiya Mihashi, who came from a folk song background, his already high-level singing ability grew to a monstrous level.
Among that, he has also actively taken on catchy songs, making him an extremely popular figure among enka fans.
Among Hosokawa’s songs, the one I particularly recommend for its crowd-pleasing energy and ease of singing is “Kita Sakaba.” While the overall range is set on the higher side, the range itself isn’t very wide, so you should be able to sing it if you adjust to the right key.
The song features a structure typical of enka, showcasing scale movements of two notes or more with kobushi (melismatic turns), but since the kobushi don’t continue in rapid succession, their difficulty is relatively low.
Instead of projecting your voice forward, try to produce it with the sensation of it piercing through from the crown or back of your head; doing so will bring you quite close to the original, so give it a try.
National Anthem of the Republic of KiraboshiSona Yamamoto, Hana Kogane, Tamaki Kumada, Kenshin Kobayashi, Dazaifu Housewives’ Choir “ODEN”
This is an unusual choral piece released in October 2020 as a special ending theme for the anime “Yo-kai Gakuen Y: Encounter with N.” It blends the pure voices of the children’s choir led by Sona Yamamoto and the warm female chorus of the Dazaifu Housewives’ Choir “ODEN.” While it’s a grand theme that sings of the shining ideals of a fictional republic, it also carries a touch of comedy and a mysterious charm that captivates listeners and won’t let go.
Be sure to experience its one-of-a-kind world for yourself!
Kiyoshi's Zundoko SongKiyoshi Hikawa
Kiyoshi Hikawa, a figure who sent shockwaves through the enka world.
Though an idol-type enka singer, he possesses solid vocal prowess and has influenced many as an artist who combines skill with catchiness.
“Kiyoshi no Zundoko Bushi” is one of his hit numbers.
While this song spans a fairly wide range—mid1 C to hi B—the pitch shifts in the kobushi (melodic ornaments) are kept to at most two notes, making the overall difficulty as enka relatively low.
If you have a reasonably wide vocal range, you should be able to sing it without trouble.
It’s immensely popular among madams, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Killing MeL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
This is a rock number swirling with cool tension and destructive impulses.
Released as a single in January 2005, it was chosen as the ending theme for a TV Asahi program and drew attention for debuting at No.
1 on the Oricon chart.
It feels as if it depicts the protagonist’s inner cry, consumed by helpless impatience and self-destructive desires.
Heavy, distorted guitar riffs and tight rhythms create an aggressive sound, intertwined with Hyde’s vocals—cool yet brimming with passion.
It’s sure to pierce the heart of anyone who wants to break free from the deadlock of everyday life.
CAT’S EYEAnri
Until then, Anri had been strongly associated with ballads, but this track must have completely refreshed her image for many listeners.
It’s packed with the mysterious and provocative allure of a phantom thief racing through the night city.
Released in August 1983, the song topped the Oricon charts for five consecutive weeks as the theme for the TV anime Cat’s Eye.
Its urban, cool sound is also included on Timely!!, a classic album produced by Toshiki Kadomatsu.
Give it a listen when you want to recapture the excitement of that era or boost your mood on a drive.
It’s also a sure-fire hit for livening up a karaoke session.
I'll turn you into a song.Spriggal
“I’m going to turn our memories into a song, just as they are.” This is a song by Spreegal that sings of a slightly bold resolve.
Without romanticizing a broken heart, its lyrics candidly trace the scenes and emotions etched in the mind, stirring deep empathy in listeners.
The track is included on the EP “MEMORIES,” released in April 2024.
Anyone who has experienced an unforgettable love will likely be startled by how unflinchingly honest the words feel, as if they were written about themselves.
While carrying bittersweet memories, the song quietly stays by your side, supporting the part of you that still wants to move forward.
