selfish womanArata Aoyama
While portraying the sweet yet bittersweet heart of a woman, this ambitious work dives into the world of blues-style kayō.
With his gentle aura, Arata Aoyama explores the themes of lingering attachment and jealousy toward a former lover, expressing the complex emotions of a mature woman.
Lyrics by Koyomi Asa and composition by Hideo Mizumori come together to create a memorable song marked by its distinctive triplet rhythm.
Released as a single in February 2025, the work is available in three versions: TYPE TOKYO, TYPE Youth, and TYPE Starry Sky.
It also features a tie-in with TBS Radio’s “Saturday Morning 6 o’clock: Kinashi no Kai.” The song was unveiled to fans for the first time at a concert held on January 26 of the same year at the Urayasu City Cultural Hall, celebrating the 5th anniversary of Aoyama’s debut.
It’s a must-listen not only for those moved by the end of a romance, but also for anyone eager to discover a new side of enka.
channel markerKaori Kouzai
When you think of Kaori Kouzai, her vocals that bring out a strong sense of allure are striking.
Of course, those kinds of songs are wonderful too, but in her later years her melancholic numbers have become even more refined.
That’s why I recommend Mio-tsukushi.
It’s based on enka, but features a vocal line closer to 1980s pop-leaning kayōkyoku, with little use of advanced techniques like kobushi.
By deliberately using breath—audible exhales included—you can add dynamics and infuse the vocals with a sense of wistfulness, so please use it as a reference.
Elegy of a Port TownIkuzo Yoshi
Ikuzo Yoshi’s classic “Minato-machi Banka” is marked by a melancholy, lingering melody.
It’s a women’s song depicting a woman in a port town, beautifully expressing her feelings as she dotes on her husband who’s returned from fishing after a long time away.
Despite its powerful melody, the piece surprisingly features few advanced kobushi (melismatic turns).
They do appear, but when they do, the kobushi only span one or two scale steps, so the difficulty level as enka is quite low.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Harbor TavernYutaka Yamakawa
The masterpiece “Minato Sakaba,” with its expansive vocals and bittersweet melody, leaves a strong impression.
Since it’s a relatively recent song, Yutaka Yamakawa’s low, mature phrasing—something he didn’t have in his younger days—really stands out.
Although this piece falls into the so-called ‘man’s song’ category and has plenty of power, it never resorts to the roughness of shouted vocals.
Instead, it conveys masculinity through lower tones, which makes it a bit challenging for men with higher voices.
The frequency and difficulty of kobushi (ornamental vocal turns) are far easier than in typical enka, so if you have a deep voice, consider adding it to your repertoire.
allyGReeeeN
This is a heartwarming number by GReeeeN that gently speaks to the importance of friendship.
Conveying the value of unconditional love and being there for one another, the song carries a strong message filled with gratitude for those closest to us.
Alongside its gentle, warm melody, the lyrics—depicting everyday life shared with a precious person who shares both joy and sorrow—resonate deeply.
Written as the theme song for the film “Haw,” released in August 2022, this piece is perfect as background music for a speech to a dear friend and as a song dedicated to anyone wishing to deepen their bonds with someone special.
Future SymphonyKoji Yamagishi
It’s an inspiring message song.
Created by Koji Yamagishi, it was released in April 2024 and won the runner-up prize in the “Magical Mirai 2024” song contest.
With its catchy melody and grand arrangement, it paints a picture of hope for the future through the power of sound.
Hatsune Miku’s translucent voice beautifully conveys the passionate feelings embedded in the lyrics.
If you’re feeling anxious, this song will blow those worries away!
Sky-blue DaysSHISHAMO
A heartwarming song by SHISHAMO that evokes the fresh air of spring.
The lyrics gently embrace memories of school days and the bittersweet feeling of graduation.
Released in March 2018 as a Calpis Water commercial song, the music video strikingly portrays students on the brink of graduation.
Recommended for those who feel anxious about a new environment or who want to reminisce about their youth.
As spring arrives, why not warm your heart by listening to this song?
