world standardWa-Suta
Wasshoi’s new song carries a message of embracing diverse values while cherishing your true self.
In a rapidly changing world, it conveys a stance of redefining what “standard” means and pursuing their own identity.
Scheduled for release in February 2025, the track celebrates the 10th anniversary of their debut.
The music video leaves a strong impression with the members dancing on sets inspired by locations around the world.
It’s a recommended song for anyone who wants to keep moving forward without fearing change.
One drink not includedMacaroni Enpitsu
It’s a memorable number that feels like a direct snapshot of a live house atmosphere, despite being a short track under one minute.
Featured on Macaroni Empitsu’s first mini-album “Al dente,” this song takes the live house’s one-drink rule as its theme and portrays the relationship between band members and their fans.
Despite its uptempo feel, it’s characterized by a bittersweet message.
Included on the album released in January 2015, it has long been loved as a live staple.
It’s recommended for those who want to enjoy karaoke in a short time or savor the vibe of a live house.

Ring! All together, Japan!Takashi Hosokawa
Enka singers with a foundation in folk music are often seen as releasing many traditional, serious songs.
However, Takashi Hosokawa differs from that image, putting out many catchy tracks as well.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “Wa! Moro Moro Nippon.” While this piece follows the enka tradition, it also incorporates a slightly rock-influenced flavor.
Perhaps because of that musical direction, there are very few instances of kobushi (ornamental vocal turns), and no complex vocal lines appear.
The range is a bit wide, so be mindful of key adjustments when you give it a try.
Parting Cedar (Farewell Cedar)Kasuga Hachirō
Born into a fisherman’s family, Hachirō Kasuga made his debut in 1952 with “Akai Ranpu no Shū Ressha” (The Last Train under the Red Lamp).
He then scored a massive hit with “Otosan,” quickly joining the ranks of popular singers.
Captivating many fans with his clear, beautiful high notes and emotionally rich singing, Kasuga recorded over 1,600 songs over his lifetime, becoming a nationally beloved enka singer whose total record sales exceeded 70 million.
His achievements have been highly recognized, including receiving the Medal with Purple Ribbon in 1989 and the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Rays, in 1991.
As an indispensable figure in the history of Shōwa-era enka, his music continues to be loved by many to this day.
His songs are highly recommended not only for enka fans but also for anyone interested in Shōwa-era popular music.
The young coupleKenji Kitahara
One of the iconic songs representing the Showa era is a track by Kenji Kitahara.
It’s characterized by lyrics brimming with youthful dreams and hope, paired with a light, pleasant melody, and it has continued to be loved by many.
Released in June 1962, the song spread nationwide after being featured on NHK’s program “Song of the Day.” For people in their 80s, its lyrics—overlapping with memories of their youth—will surely resonate.
Portraying an attitude of overcoming difficulties by drawing on the power of youth, this piece remains uplifting even today.
It might be nice to listen to it with family or friends and let the conversation blossom with memories from back then.
Wonder WorldRhythmic Toy World
Rhythmic Toy World is a rock band that has been active since the 2010s.
They’re known for a classic rock sound with strong J-pop elements and have created many catchy songs.
Among their tracks, the one I especially recommend is their new song, Wonder World.
While it doesn’t have a particularly narrow vocal range, the melody doesn’t feature complex pitch jumps, and there are a fair number of rests, so even middle schoolers with unsteady voices can sing it without trouble.
Go for a high score!
