Night Rain NotesHiroko Hattori
Hiroko Hattori’s masterpiece “Yau Sho” is distinguished by a warm yet heartrending melody.
While Hattori often favors songs that emphasize the lower register, this piece is different.
For her repertoire, it spans a somewhat wider vocal range, and the chorus briefly reaches a high passage.
Overall, it sits in the mid-to-high range, and there are no intricate melismatic inflections requiring rapid pitch changes, making it a very singable song for women with higher voices.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.

Sachiko Shiina’s powerful yet delicate vocals superbly convey the protagonist’s strong will and aching heart.
Released on February 12, 2025, the song features lyrics by Kanade Hino-ura and composition by Chiaki Oka—both highly accomplished creators.

cherry blossoms at nightYutaka Yamakawa
Among the many enka singers, Yutaka Yamakawa stands out for his especially smooth, tender phrasing.
Of his works, the song “Yozakura” is where you can best savor his mellow delivery.
While the piece faithfully adheres to traditional enka style, the kobushi (ornamental turns) are relatively easy—the majority resemble strongly vibrated notes, essentially the simplest form of kobushi.
As a result, the song is generally easy; however, because it sits largely in the lower register, you do need to stay mindful of keeping your throat open on the low notes.
Yozakura feat. Mei-chanwhale
This song, themed around cherry blossoms shining in the spring night sky, beautifully portrays the beginning and end of love.
The delicate vocals woven by Kujira and Mei-chan, combined with the emotional composition, create an evocative world.
It expresses a love that changes with the seasons through the fleeting symbol of night sakura, and since its release in June 2020, it has captivated many hearts.
The unique sound that fuses electronica and pop harmonizes wonderfully with lyrics brimming with the feel of spring and summer.
It’s especially recommended for the season when you can sense the arrival of spring.
Listening during cherry blossom season will make the lyrical world resonate even more deeply.
It’s a song that offers comfort to those experiencing spring farewells or new encounters.
