The whistle in my chest still soundsKiyoshi Maekawa
In Kiyoshi Maekawa’s long career, this single “Mune no Kitete wa Imamo” (The Whistle in My Chest Still Blows), composed by the renowned Takashi Toshimi—who also crafted hits like “Otokoto Onna no Kakera” and “Wakare-kyoku demo Utatte”—was released in 2021 in the Reiwa era.
It has the feel of a wistful medium-tempo ballad, and structurally it’s very close to J-pop, so it seems like a song that’s easy for enka beginners to sing at karaoke.
That said, if you aim to nail it perfectly, vibrato is essential, so if that’s not your strong suit, this song might be a good one to practice your vibrato with!
