Heart RainHiroshi Oe
Kokoro Ame, a masterpiece by Hiroshi Oe, is notable for his piercingly emotive singing voice.
While Oe is often associated with a powerful, dynamic singing style, he is actually skilled at female-voiced songs as well.
Among his female-voiced repertoire, this piece is particularly easy to sing.
The melody is pure enka, but the vocal line, somewhat unexpectedly, leans strongly toward kayōkyoku (Japanese popular song), and it doesn’t demand any complex rises and falls in pitch.
There aren’t many instances of kobushi (melismatic ornamentation), but dynamic contrast is crucial, so be mindful of that.
Port of Love and TearsHiromi Kumagai
An enka song that gently embraces the poignant nights of a port town.
Hiromi Kumagai’s clear, translucent voice delicately conveys the feelings of a woman bearing the pain of heartbreak.
Released in April 2025, this piece was born from an unreleased composition by the late master composer Shosuke Ichikawa, paired with lyrics by Takashi Manjo.
With Tatsuya Nango’s emotionally rich arrangement, the song’s allure is brought out even more.
Why not let your thoughts drift to the ache of lost love and the landscapes of memory?

’” The program featured the background of the song’s production and conversations with atomic bomb survivors.
Give it a listen when you want to feel a commitment to peace or to quietly calm your mind.
