KanbokuMasashi Sada
Released in November 1984 and included on the album that went on sale in December of the same year, “Kan Hokuto” is a simple yet poignant song that quietly reflects on the narrator’s parents when returning to their hometown.
Many listeners will recognize the situation—seeing parents and grandparents after a long time and feeling a painful squeeze in the chest at how much they’ve aged.
Because its vocal range is relatively narrow and the rhythm is straightforward, this piece is one of Masashi Sada’s more singable songs.
Why not try singing it while thinking of your family back home?
North TavernTakashi Hosokawa
Released as a single by Takashi Hosokawa in 1982, the song became a major hit because it leaned more toward a lively kayōkyoku/J-pop style than traditional enka, and it won the 25th Japan Record Award.
It is not only one of the signature songs of 1982, but also one of Hosokawa’s best-known tracks and a crowd-pleaser at karaoke.
I look up as I walkKyu Sakamoto
It was Kyu Sakamoto’s debut single, first released in October 1961.
It became a huge hit overseas under the title “Sukiyaki,” a classic Showa-era song! Its cheerful, heartwarming melody can lift your spirits just by listening, making it a perfect choice for a fun karaoke session.
Don’t overthink it—just hum along and enjoy singing it in whatever style suits your mood and preferences.
Northern SpringMasao Sen
This is the 24th single by Japanese enka singer Masao Sen, released in April 1977.
It’s one of the classic Showa-era kayōkyoku songs, known for achieving million-seller status after 92 weeks on the Oricon charts from its initial debut.
The song, much like Masao Sen’s image, is very friendly and easy to remember, making it an ideal recommendation for karaoke, especially for those who aren’t confident singers.
If you understand the lyrics and imagine the scenes in the song’s world as you sing, you’ll enjoy it more and be able to sing it in a nicer way!

Forever with youYuzo Kayama
This was the fifth single overall by Showa-era superstar Yuzo Kayama, released in December 1965.
It sold over three million copies and received a Special Award at the 8th Japan Record Awards in 1966—truly a classic of the Showa period.
Kayama’s resonant, powerful vocals are so outstanding that some people might hesitate to sing it at karaoke for that reason alone, but the melody is very simple and easy to hum, so don’t be afraid to give it a try.
Try placing the sound toward your lower jaw inside your mouth and really resonate in your chest; that should help you get closer to the rich vocal quality of the man himself.
And when you sing it at karaoke, don’t forget to recreate the spoken-word part, too!
Like tonight's moonElephant Kashimashi
It’s a deeply moving masterpiece that powerfully sings of passion for the future while gazing into everyday feelings of emptiness and loneliness.
Set against the backdrop of a city at dusk, it portrays the solitude and struggles of people living in an urban landscape, yet conveys a strong will to keep looking forward and moving on.
The soulful vocals unique to Elephant Kashimashi and the melody that resonates with the heart are beautifully in harmony.
Released in July 1997, the song was used as the theme for the Fuji TV drama “Because the Moon Shines at Night,” and was also included on the album “Run Toward Tomorrow – Moonlit Songs.” In 2017, it was performed in the band’s first appearance on the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, winning over even more listeners.
It’s a track that will evoke deep empathy when you feel lost in life or spend a night thinking of someone dear.
Kiyoshi's Zundoko SongKiyoshi Hikawa
A heartwarming, approachable song that makes the most of rhythms found in folk songs and enka.
This masterpiece fully showcases Kiyoshi Hikawa’s charm, beautifully expressing the bittersweetness of love, masculine strength, and longing for one’s hometown.
With his natural vocal talent and refreshing appeal, Hikawa presents a uniquely modern take on the traditional enka worldview.
It was released by Nippon Columbia in February 2002.
The song won the Gold Prize at the 44th Japan Record Awards and is known as one of Hikawa’s signature tracks.
With its relaxed tempo and narrow melodic range, it’s a piece you can sing with a calm mindset.
During the chorus, it’s also nice to have listeners add call-and-response interjections!
