It's a bit heartbreaking.Keisuke Yamauchi
A killer tune that fully brings out Keisuke Yamauchi’s unique charm—distinct from that of an enka singer—evoking the feel of Showa-era kayōkyoku! Released in 2012 as the B-side to the single Namida Kurenai ka, Chotto, Setsunai na was also included on the Fan-Selected Best Album, underscoring its popularity.
As mentioned at the outset, this song isn’t enka but straight-up kayōkyoku, so even those who aren’t into hardcore enka should be able to enjoy it at karaoke.
With a relatively narrow range and a melody centered mostly in the mid register, it’s easy to sing—and it’s sure to get a great reaction even in front of people who don’t know Yamauchi’s music.
CheckmateYucha
This song captivates with lyrics themed around chess and a powerful rock sound.
Created by Yucha, it was released in April 2012 featuring GUMI as the vocalist.

It was included on the 2012 album “Casino!” and in KONAMI’s music game SOUND VOLTEX BOOTH.
For those searching for their own path, listening to it might ignite a passionate feeling.

Lantern flowerMiyuki Kawanaka
Released in 1996 and a long-running hit, “Chochin no Hana” is one of Miyuki Kawanaka’s signature songs of the 1990s, with lyrics by Yu Aku and music by Hiroshi Madoka.
With lanterns and sake as motifs, Kawanaka’s clear, beautiful voice shines as she carefully sings of life’s joys and sorrows without making it overly sad.
The slightly wistful chorus carries a kayōkyoku flavor and is very easy to remember, and since the overall range isn’t very wide, it’s a song that even beginners to enka will find relatively easy to sing.
Rather than emphasizing the typical enka kobushi ornaments, practice producing a delicate yet lustrous vibrato.
