A toast to the nameless flowerJoji Yamamoto
This is a superb masterpiece whose melody, crafted by the renowned composer Tetsuya Gen—who has provided many songs for Joji Yamamoto since the 2000s—radiates a universal appeal! Released as a single in 2005, it also features excellent lyrics by Rei Shirooka, who brilliantly depicts the image of a clumsy man.
Although the song is in a major key, it somehow carries a hint of wistfulness and melancholy, and Yamamoto’s performance—fully embodying the protagonist and delivering it flawlessly—is nothing short of remarkable.
While the fundamental techniques of enka appear throughout, it isn’t overly idiosyncratic; the vocal range is average and the overall key is low, making it perhaps an ideal practice song for beginners to enka.
Producing low notes like Yamamoto’s is surprisingly more difficult than the higher parts, so be sure to focus on vocalization that keeps the lyrics clearly intelligible!
