Orphan HachiYuri Shimazaki
Feelings for a mother and hope are woven through a voice that balances gentleness and strength.
With her clear, translucent vocals, Yuri Shimazaki paints scenes that tenderly envelop the story of a small protagonist’s adventure and growth.
You can’t help but empathize with the figure who continues their journey with love and courage in their heart, making this a heartwarming work that gives you the strength to move forward step by step.
Released as a single by Nippon Columbia in May 1970, it captured the hearts of many viewers as the opening theme for the anime “Mitsubachi Māya no Bōken” (Insect Story: Orphan Hacchi).
In 1974, she also performed the theme for the sequel, successfully enriching the world of the series.
It’s the perfect song for when you need encouragement or want to lift someone’s spirits.
mutilationfront line
An electro swing that rhythmically expresses liberation from a warped reality.
The track “Mutilation” by Zensen masterfully fuses the allure of club music with Vocaloid.
Its sound, highlighted by a straight-ahead beat and a vibrant horn section, creates a world that makes you feel as if you’re on a late-night dance floor.
Perfect for those looking for a danceable tune or anyone who wants to step away from reality for a little refresh.
Midnight RequiemTeresa Teng
In the era when Teresa Teng was active, both kayōkyoku and pop music were popular.
As a result, many of her songs tend to incorporate elements of more avant-garde genres even within kayōkyoku.
Among such works, I recommend “Midnight Requiem.” It strongly reflects elements of adult contemporary and kayōkyoku, and while it has a smooth feel, it’s characterized by the uniquely rich, lingering vocal phrasing typical of kayōkyoku.
The vocal range itself is narrow, and there are no phrases requiring complex pitch movements like ad-libs or melismatic turns, so if you carefully track the pitch, it’s possible to aim for a high score at karaoke.
disturbedTeresa Teng
When it comes to Teresa Teng’s songs, the ones that leave a strong impression are those tender, emotionally rich ballads.
That said, she actually released dance music as well.
Among those, the one I especially recommend is Midasarete (“Disturbed”).
While the essence of kayōkyoku (Japanese pop song style) is strongly present throughout, it’s fundamentally groovy, featuring performance characteristics similar to adult contemporary.
You do need to be mindful of the groove, but conversely, there aren’t many other technical hurdles—so for someone with good rhythm, it should be a relatively easy song to sing.
Beautiful FlowerMasaharu Fukuyama
A gem-like ballad by Masaharu Fukuyama that gently sings of love for children and prayers for the future.
It portrays the preciousness of life and the depth of love passed from parent to child, wrapped in warm melodies.
Released as a single in May 2006, it gained attention as a tie-in song for Panasonic’s digital video camera and was also included on the album “5 Nen Mono.” The clear tones of the acoustic guitar and Fukuyama’s warm vocals will further illuminate the joy of families welcoming a new life.
It’s a song we wholeheartedly recommend to couples awaiting childbirth and to families watching over their children’s growth.
regret; lingering attachment; reluctance to let goAyako Fuji
It’s a quintessential Fuji Ayako-style masterpiece of classic enka: a bright melody tinged with a certain melancholy, paired with lyrics that carry considerable weight.
True to the title, Fuji’s lustrous, assured vocals carefully give voice to lingering feelings for the one who abandoned her, striking a perfect balance—neither too heavy nor overly dramatic.
While it covers the full range of enka techniques, the difficulty isn’t that high, making it approachable even for beginners to the genre.
Definitely give it a try at karaoke.
Michinoku’s Forgotten SnowJoji Yamamoto
The word “Michinoku” instantly grabs your attention, inevitably calling to mind Jōji Yamamoto’s huge hit “Michinoku Hitoritabi.” His “Michinoku Wasurayuki,” released as a single in 2023, also drew buzz among fans because it was composed by Tetsuya Gen, marking their first collaboration since Yamamoto’s 2017 song “Futari de Yokatta.” A guitar contest was even held as part of the “Jōji Yamamoto Metal-ization Project,” which helped raise the song’s profile among listeners who don’t usually listen to enka.
The song powerfully conveys the selfishness and melancholy of a man who leaves the woman he loves without a word—something that makes you want to try it at karaoke, emulating Yamamoto’s commanding delivery.
That said, the techniques like kobushi and vibrato, and especially the low notes, can be a hurdle for those who struggle with lower registers.
Try adjusting the key and practicing with a focus on producing that Yamamoto-style strong low tone.
