Love SakuraSachiko Kobayashi
It’s a beautiful enka masterpiece—grand in scale yet tinged with melancholy—richly infused with traditional Japanese flavor through the use of Japanese instruments.
“Koi Zakura” is a single released by Sachiko Kobayashi in 2007, and she also performed it at that year’s NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, so some listeners may find it familiar.
While Kobayashi’s signature techniques—kobushi, shakuri, and vibrato—are of course present, the melody that seems to speak to the Japanese soul is easy to remember, and once you’ve learned it, singing it itself shouldn’t be too difficult.
There are no extreme high notes either, so even those who feel uneasy about higher pitches should definitely give it a try.
Red and White ManjushakaNem
The Japanese-style rock melody and the fantastical world inspired by red spider lilies leave a strong impression.
Released by Nem in June 2013, this piece blends cool guitar and bass sounds to create an emotionally rich finish.
The lyrics portray the bond and affection between the two characters who appear in the song, as well as their feelings about parting.
What happens to them in the very end…? Please find out for yourself.
The vocal range should also be comfortable for those with lower voices!
This year's cherry blossomsflumpool
It’s a classic filled with warm cheers for those leaving their hometowns and taking a new step, a beautiful song that naturally stirs a positive mindset.
Released on the December 2009 album “What’s flumpool!?”, it was also used as the opening theme for “Minna no Koshien.” Created as an answer song to their debut track “Hana ni Nare,” this piece has comforted many as an anthem of support for the season of departures.
As spring arrives—whether you’re starting a new chapter in life or striving toward new goals—it will give you a strong push forward.

Love RegretKaori Kouzai
Kaori Kozai often uses a vocal technique called the hiccup style.
This technique involves briefly flipping the voice, and she frequently uses it to add kobushi-like ornamentation.
A classic song that makes extensive use of this distinctive kobushi is “Koi Miren.” Once you get used to hiccups, executing this kind of ornamentation is easy, and this piece also features a vocal line with gentle rises and falls in pitch.
Therefore, if you’re accustomed to the hiccup technique, you should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Portraying the excitement and anxieties at the dawn of love, along with a forward-looking resolve, this song is highly recommended for anyone who wants to be honest with their feelings in love.
