Mantenboshi ~Dōdan~Tendō Yoshimi

The song “Mantenboshi ~Doudan~” is characterized by its gently soothing melody.

While the piece conveys a strong enka feel throughout, its vocal line is structured more like a kayōkyoku (Japanese pop) style.

As a result, it doesn’t feature kobushi—the intricate pitch bends that are a hallmark of enka.

It preserves the essence of enka while incorporating simpler, pop-like vocal lines, making it an exceptionally approachable song for beginners to enka.

Consider adding it to your repertoire.
