Hello, baby.Michiyo Azusa
Released in 1963 (Showa 38), this is Michiyo Azusa’s big hit.
As the title suggests, it’s sung gently, brightly, and briskly, as if cooing to a baby, so it’s a tune that just about anyone can hum along to with ease.
The B section calls for a slightly more projected, soaring style of singing, so be mindful to use solid vocal production there.
Since Michiyo Azusa herself had considerable vocal prowess, faithfully recreating her performance might make this a somewhat challenging song to sing.
Crossing Amagi PassSayuri Ishikawa
This is a song released by Sayuri Ishikawa in July 1986, which won the Gold Prize at the 28th Japan Record Awards that same year.
There’s also an anecdote that, amid the karaoke boom at the time, it was created as a high-difficulty piece that only Ishikawa could sing, so it might be a bit challenging for those who aren’t confident singers.
However, the melodic development is likely much easier to memorize than modern pop, making it a quintessential example of “Showa kayō” style—so try learning it and give it a go.
As for enka’s unique vocal techniques, it’s perfectly fine to ignore them if they seem too difficult and just sing it your own way!
Graduation PhotoYumi Arai
“Graduation Photo” is one of Yumi Arai’s signature hit songs, with both lyrics and music by Arai herself.
It is also known as a quintessential graduation song.
The track is included on her 1975 album COBALT HOUR.
As the title suggests, many people may have sung it as a class chorus during their school days or at graduation ceremonies.
The song has been covered by many artists, so if you’re interested, try searching online and enjoy the various versions.
It could also be helpful as a reference when singing it at karaoke!
