Wharf of TransienceKeisuke Yamauchi
Released in 2016, “Ruten no Hatoba” was also performed at the 67th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen, so many of you have probably heard it.
Although it’s an upbeat, refreshing enka in a major key, Yamauchi’s vocals bring out the fullest charm of its clumsy, stubborn protagonist tinged with a certain pathos.
While the song spans a wide range, the overall pitch sits on the lower side, which can be reassuring for those who struggle with high notes.
That said, naturally, some practice is required to master the quintessential enka techniques.
In particular, the final line of the chorus is easy to go off pitch, so be sure to sing it repeatedly until you get used to it.
