Collection of Song Titles Starting with 'Da' [Dai-○○, Diamond, etc.] (141–150)
It’s okayHikawa Kiyoshi
Life brings various hardships and joys, and Kiyoshi Hikawa delivers a warm, gentle song that embraces them all.
Released in 2019, this work expresses the sadness and feelings of love that everyone experiences through his beautiful vocals.
Like the moon setting and the sun rising, its hopeful message—that tomorrow will surely come—resonates in the heart.
Also included on the album “Shin Enka Meikyoku Collection 9,” this piece is perfect for singing along at recreational gatherings.
Its friendly, singable melody and uplifting lyrics are part of its charm.
Hold meMaekawa Kiyoshi
If you’re part of the generation that knows the 1990s well, you may remember the variety show “Shitte Dō Suru no!?” which aired for a short time.
The song used as its ending theme was Kiyoshi Maekawa’s 1996 single “Dakishimete.” It has the feel of a kayōkyoku ballad elevated by grand orchestration, and Maekawa’s singing seems to dial back enka-style techniques a bit.
The melody unfolds straightforwardly, making it approachable even for those not used to enka, but to be honest, executing the long-tone vibrato perfectly isn’t easy.
Rather than trying to sing it exactly like the original from the start, it’s best to practice with the mindset of gradually getting closer step by step.
I love you more than anyone.Furuchi Toko
When someone treats you gently, your heart aches; when they’re cold, you feel like crying…
This classic by Toko Furuuchi delicately portrays the feelings of everyone in love.
Capturing both the uncontrollable emotions toward a partner and the conflicts and contradictions that come with romance, the song was released in May 1996.
Used as an insert song for the drama “Watch Out for Us,” it was also included as a remixed version on the album “Hourglass.” Since then, it has been covered by numerous artists, including Sowelu, Hideaki Tokunaga, and JUJU.
If you’ve ever struggled with love, scenes from your own experience will surely come to mind.
It’s the perfect song to listen to quietly on your own or when you want to think about someone special.

That’s why I’m scared.Nagayama Yōko
The song introduced here, “Dakara Kowai no,” is a must-check masterpiece that lets you enjoy a different side of Ms.
Nagayama’s singing from enka.
Released in 2023 as the B-side to the single “Oishii Osake Nomer’ya Ii,” it exudes a mature, jazz-inflected mood, with Ms.
Nagayama captivating listeners not as an enka singer but with a jazz-vocal style.
While it presents a completely different kind of challenge than enka, the difficulty is relatively low from a jazz vocal perspective, and the melody line itself is easy to memorize and sing.
So even those who usually sing only enka should definitely give it a try!

How about trying a dance to “Show” sung by Ado, a familiar tune from Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights? It’s a very popular song, so many kids have probably heard it.
In the video, the choreography for the chorus is the same as the one actually performed at Universal Studios Japan.
The tempo is fast, so the moves might be tricky, but even simple choreography becomes impactful when everyone’s in sync.
Give it a try!
