Songs with titles that start with “Na.” Hints for shiritori! (121–130)
NightmareSecret Piercing
A dark and emotional piece that feels like peering into the abyss of the heart.
Featuring KAF and released in June 2025, this track comes from Naisho no Pierce, also known for “Proposal.” The themes of “sickness” and “bittersweet sorrow” blend beautifully with the richly shaded sound.
It’s perfect for nights when you want to forget the everyday and immerse yourself deeply in the world of music.
Be sure to check out the version sung by Yukimura as well!
nostalgic personMasao Sen
Among Masao Sen’s songs, “Natsukashi no Hito” is renowned as a particularly mood-rich piece.
While the arrangement prominently features traditional enka elements, the vocals lean closer to Showa-era kayōkyoku and folk, resulting in a simple, streamlined vocal line.
The range is somewhat wide, but there are no difficult techniques involved, and the tempo is relaxed, making it easier to sing than it might sound.
If you use the hiccup technique, where the voice flips, you can get even closer to the feel of the original, so give it a try for reference.
Beside the TearsMasao Sen
Masao Sen is known for his wide-ranging repertoire, but among his works, “Namida no Tonari” is especially beloved by many fans as a real outlier.
While it’s categorized as enka and the vocal lines are sung very much in an enka style, the song as a whole incorporates a Hawaiian music flavor.
As a result, it settles into a very relaxed tempo, with relatively few instances of kobushi (ornamental vocal inflections), which is a distinctive feature.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
Farewell SongYukino Ichikawa
Beloved by many fans as a tear-jerking masterpiece, Yukino Ichikawa’s signature song “Nagori-uta.” While it’s a piece that evokes melancholy in an enka style, if you pay attention to the finer details, you’ll notice it’s actually closer to Showa-era kayōkyoku than to traditional enka.
In fact, techniques associated with enka—such as kobushi ornamentation—are used sparingly, and the enka flavor is largely limited to the melody.
The vocal range isn’t particularly wide either, making it a song that anyone can tackle with ease.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Nachtindigo la End
The melody feels like it melts into the stillness of the night—super emotional! It’s a new track indigo la End wrote for the drama “My Cunning Ex-Girlfriend from ‘What’s So Wrong with Being Cunning?’” It’s included on their album “MOLTING AND DANCING,” releasing in January 2025.
The song tenderly sings of the bittersweet memories of a past love and the words left unsaid, and it really makes your heart ache.
Ryosuke Gochou’s bass firmly shapes the foundation of the track while expressing the deep, nighttime sway of emotions.
Take your time and soak in just how cool the bass is.
Nostalgic match flameYukino Ichikawa
Yukino Ichikawa is known for her wide-ranging vocal ability, covering everything from classic enka to kayōkyoku and pop.
Her song “Natsukashii Matchi no Honō” is a pop piece and ranks among her most popular pop-oriented tracks.
Its melody is reminiscent of Ghibli’s classic “Once in a While, Let’s Talk About the Old Days,” and it maintains a simple vocal line within a narrow range throughout.
It’s such an easy song that it doesn’t even employ kobushi, the advanced enka ornamentation, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Cobalt on a summer afternoonAwesome City Club
Awesome City Club’s music is known for its urban, sophisticated sound, and the harmonies woven by their male–female twin vocals feel perfect for a drive.
This track is a breezy pop tune that beautifully captures the sparkle of summer sunlight and the thrill of a budding romance.
The lyrics depict the protagonist’s strong resolve to find their true self and move forward as they are, along with a message of dreaming of a radiant future powered by past experiences—sure to give listeners courage.
Released in July 2021, it colored the story as the opening theme for the TV drama “She Was Pretty.” It’s also included on the album “Get Set,” where, among the band’s diverse musical range, this song shines with a particularly catchy charm.
It’s a perfect fit not only for summer afternoon drives, but also as background music when you’re ready to take a new step forward.
