Goro Takayama – Freeze My Heart

Freeze your heart — Takayama Ghen

When people think of enka, many imagine a gritty style featuring strong vocal ornamentation known as kobushi.

Of course, that kind of song makes up a large part of enka, but “Kokoro Koorasete” is different.

This track blends elements of enka with a genre known as New Adult Music.

Since it doesn’t use kobushi, even those who find traditional enka vocal phrasing difficult should find it easy to sing.

As long as you match the key and pitch, anyone can handle it—the tempo is nice and slow—so give it a try.

Snow Country by Ikuzo Yoshi

Yukiguni Yoshikazu

Yoshi Ikuzo’s classic “Yukiguni,” with its strikingly sorrowful tone, leaves a strong impression.

While the piece firmly inherits the elements of enka, its vocal line is characterized by a finish closer to mood kayō.

As a result, the use of kobushi is far less frequent than in typical enka, and the instances that do appear are relatively simple.

For those who struggle with the Tsugaru folk-style kobushi, this is a very singable song.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
