The Hometown of MandarinsHiroshi Oe
A piece notable for its powerful kobushi ornamentation, “Mikan no Furusato.” Many people feel uneasy with this kind of forceful kobushi, but it’s essentially just adding a shout; the kobushi itself stays within a one- to two-semitone change, so the difficulty here isn’t very high.
The tempo is very relaxed, and there aren’t that many long sustained notes, so even if a powerful singing style isn’t your strong suit, you can still sing it without trouble.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Michinoku ShigureIchiro Toba / Sachiko Murakami
This is an enka duet song that portrays the heartrending love between a man and a woman against the richly atmospheric scenery of the Tohoku region.
Released in September 1985, the piece beautifully blends Mr.
Ichiro Toba’s powerful vocals with Ms.
Sachiko Murakami’s delicate voice, expressing with deep emotion the wavering feelings of the couple as the seasons shift from autumn to winter.
In the chorus, their voices overlap exquisitely, resonating deeply with listeners.
Why not try singing it together with someone special at karaoke or in a snack bar?
Miroku’s blessed world (Miruku Yugafu)Unaigumi
A four-woman folk group that carries on Okinawa’s traditional music while continually exploring new forms of expression.
Active since 2014, Unaigumi features Misako Koja, Namiko Miyazato, and Yukino Hiyane—members of the original Nenes—joined by Emiko Shimabukuro, and they released the album Unaijima.
Produced by Kazuya Sahara, the work seamlessly blends string arrangements with the quartet’s harmonies.
In 2015, they also collaborated with Ryuichi Sakamoto and donated part of the proceeds to the Henoko Fund, using their musical activities to share a message of peace.
Conveying Okinawa’s beautiful nature, history, and people’s emotions through powerful, crystalline vocals, their music is recommended for anyone interested in experiencing traditional sounds.
Everyone’s a star!High School Musical
A hit movie that gained popularity as a Disney Channel Original Movie and later won two Emmy Awards.
With sequels released one after another, it’s a must-see not only for Disney fans.
True to its musical label, the story features plenty of bright, catchy songs.
Among them, the track “We’re All in This Together” has a side-to-side rhythm that evokes a classic feel, and the clapping and other choreography match perfectly.
It would make great background music for fun sports day events like beanbag tosses or giant ball rolling.
Hibari Misora MedleyHibari Misora
Hibari Misora, the original diva who kept singing throughout the tumultuous Showa era.
What’s your favorite Hibari song? There’s no way to pick just one—from “Kanashiki Kuchibue” and “Tokyo Kid,” which supported the hearts of Japanese people after the war, to “Ringo Oiwake” and “Omatsuri Mambo,” which captivated the early days of television, her peak-era hits like “Yawara” and “Kanashii Sake,” and her late masterpiece “Kawa no Nagare no Yō ni.” So how about moving your body to a Hibari medley instead? Video sites even have clips that teach simple choreography.
I hope you can spend a delightful time along with your memories!
companion on the road; fellow traveler; taking someone along (often unwillingly)Mieko Makimura
Mikimura Mieko, known as the enka songstress representing Hokkaido, made her debut as an enka singer in 1974 and soon released songs that became major hits.
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, she left a significant mark on the enka world with her emotionally rich vocals and delicate expressiveness.
In 1979, she received the Long Seller Award at the 21st Japan Record Awards, and in 1981 she made her long-awaited first appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
She excels in lyrics and melodies imbued with passion, and her distinctive style—preserving enka’s traditions while incorporating a contemporary sensibility—continues to captivate many fans.
She is highly recommended for anyone who wants to fully savor the appeal of enka.
A view I've never seen beforeMasaki Suda
Masaki Suda’s “Mita Koto mo Nai Keshiki” really shines with its powerful high notes in the chorus—that’s the main highlight.
It’s a song that lets you move your body to the tempo while incorporating big handclaps.
There’s also an instrumental break, so it’s a great choice when you want to include changes in formation or full-group transitions.
Since parts of the song are up-tempo, introducing it from around the upper elementary grades could allow for dynamic, fast-paced performances—perfect for cool dances or mass games that showcase a sense of speed.
