Ticket of PartingOka Midori
This song, Betsuri no Kippu (Ticket of Parting), is the coupling track to Kiri no Kawa (River of Mist), a masterpiece that marked a fresh start after switching record labels and arguably changed Midori Oka’s career.
Like Kiri no Kawa, it was composed by Tetsuya Gen, and with lyrics featuring words like “night train” and “cape,” it lets you fully enjoy the classic world of enka.
Since the melody is generally built around higher notes, those who find that difficult should try lowering the key.
The chorus stays in the high range continuously, so it’s good to be mindful of your breathing points as well.
Crimson Japanese lantern (plant)Oka Midori
It’s a hidden gem that, while reminiscing about the Hozuki Market held in Asakusa, highlights its intense passion even more by choosing a calm, beautiful delivery instead of putting overt resentment over betrayal front and center.
Although it’s positioned as the coupling track to the single “Namidauta,” released in February 2024, it’s sure to be irresistible for those who love Midori Oka’s mysterious side.
The melody doesn’t demand particularly difficult techniques and is relatively easy to sing, so I encourage you to give it a try at karaoke.
With songs like this, it’s harder to express the simmering, uncontrollable emotions in a restrained way than to showcase technique, so be sure to read the lyrics carefully before you sing!

This is a song that moves me with its gentle lyrics that embrace a precious best friend like a little sister, like family.

It’s a highly recommended friendship anthem.
It’ll surely lift up a best friend who’s feeling down.

She began her solo career in 2021, and her positive aura and commanding performances have captivated many listeners, not only fans from her E-girls days.
In addition to her music career, she is a female dancer who has made her presence felt across a wide range of stages, including TV dramas, commercials, and theater.
Baby I Love YouHachiōji P
“Baby I Love You” is a duet by Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Len, who have long reigned in the Vocaloid world.
The track was produced by Hachioji-P, known not only for Vocaloid works but also for writing songs for many artists.
Its electro sound is pop yet tinged with melancholy, leaving a strong impression.
The lyrics portray two hearts growing apart, told from both perspectives.
It’s frustrating to see them miss each other even though they care for one another.
A song you’ll want to listen to quietly and let sink in.
