Strait of LongingAya Shimazu
A compellingly austere song by Aya Shimazu, “Renbo Kaikyō.” True to enka, it features solid kobushi ornamentation, yet the piece is actually easy to sing.
The reason lies in the vocal line.
While enka typically involves frequent, complex pitch rises and falls, this song keeps the melody simple and relatively even, more like a kayōkyoku.
With kobushi appearing here and there on top of that, anyone accustomed to singing standard enka should be able to perform it without difficulty.

It’s the perfect song to hype up any drinking party! Created by the All-Japan Party People Association, it’s an uptempo track infused with EDM elements.

The thumping low-end electronic sound really gets you pumped! It’s great as BGM at clubs or parties, and it’s also highly recommended for karaoke to get everyone going.
Be sure to enjoy it together with your friends!
