Lovers' CapeKaori Mizumori
Kaori Mizumori’s classic “Koibito Misaki” (“Lovers’ Cape”).
This piece spotlights Shizuoka Prefecture and beautifully portrays a couple in love against the backdrop of Mt.
Fuji.
Its biggest charm is, above all, the singable vocal line.
Enka often features complex rises and falls in pitch along with demanding kobushi (melismatic ornamentation), but this song keeps both to a minimum.
Leaning more toward kayōkyoku (Japanese pop ballad) than pure enka, it’s very easy to sing for those who struggle with kobushi.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Maiden in LoveIkimonogakari
This is a popular song by Ikimono-gakari that gently portrays the delicate feelings of a young woman in love.
Emotions like longing for someone, shyness, anxiety, and joy—subtleties of romance—are carefully expressed.
Released in October 2006, the song was used as the ending theme for the Nippon TV program “Ren’ai Bukatsu.” Yoshiki Mizuno, who wrote and composed the song, said it was “the first song I created with the idea that a girl would sing it,” and it became a turning point that broadened the band’s musical style.
It’s recommended not only for those experiencing unrequited love but also for anyone who wants to reaffirm their feelings for someone special.

Ten Rules of Confessionerica
A heartwarming song that weaves together ten vows to a lover.

It’s recommended not only for those thinking about confessing their feelings, but also for those who already have a partner.
Listening to it with someone special and reaffirming each other’s feelings might be a lovely idea.
This song will surely give you courage.
Love...passionHiroshi Miyama
Mr.
Hiroshi Miyama, affectionately known as ‘Vitamin Voice.
‘ He made his debut in 2009 with the single ‘Hitokoi Sakaba,’ which became a hit the following year, selling over 100,000 copies.
In 2015, he sold 150,000 copies of ‘O-Iwakisan’ and made his first appearance at the 66th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen that same year.
He has continued to appear for ten consecutive years since then.
Captivating many fans with his steady vocal ability and warm voice, Miyama is also drawing attention as a ‘kendama enka singer’ who showcases kendama performances.
At the NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, there was even a segment where participants attempted to set a Guinness record with a kendama relay.
Hearts overlappingYukino Ichikawa
Yukino Ichikawa, who debuted in 1993, is a singer specializing in kayōkyoku rooted in enka.
She made her debut with Onna no Matsuri and went on to release hits such as Ichido de Ii Kara.
Although she temporarily suspended her activities in 2002, she made a splendid comeback in 2006 with Kaikyō Deshūn.
She appeared in NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen for two consecutive years, 2016 and 2017, and in 2016 moved many people by singing with a letter from her late brother held close to her heart.
Ichikawa’s singing voice is richly expressive and deeply resonant, making her recommended not only for enka fans but also for those seeking warm, family-friendly kayōkyoku to enjoy across generations.
KoishunkaMizuki Hayama
It’s such an emotionally rich piece that you can’t help but surrender yourself to the sound of the huqin.
With its fantastical worldview and meticulous vocal delivery, it has a beauty that permeates the listener’s heart.
While the melody is easy on the ears, the lyrics weave in a bittersweet yearning and scenes of spring, drawing you in with their expressive power.
From a technical standpoint, the wide vocal range required—from flowing highs to resonant lows—makes it quite challenging.
Understanding the meaning of the lyrics while singing with deep feeling is no easy task.
It’s a song I especially hope those familiar with enka will take on.
