Asian SeaYazawa Eikichi
The song “Asian Sea,” included on the 14th album Tokyo Night, is striking for its nostalgic atmosphere, characterized by a wistful ensemble and vocals.
While there are some high-tone parts, the overall key is low and the tempo is relaxed, making it approachable even for those who aren’t confident singers.
In karaoke, try to channel Eikichi Yazawa’s husky voice; it’s a great pick when you want to sing something cool and mature.
Echigo Dream FireworksIshihara Junko
Junko Ishihara is a highly skilled enka singer who is also known as an associate master of shigin (Japanese chanted poetry).
Since her debut in 1988, she has led Japan’s enka scene for many years.
Her 2003 release “Echigo Yume Hanabi” is a song inspired by the Nagaoka Festival in Niigata Prefecture.
Set on the day of the once-a-year festival, it portrays a love story carried by an elegant melody.
With Ishihara’s expressive vocals, the scene of a summer night—like a fleeting dream—leaves a deep impression on listeners.
It’s especially recommended for those who want to savor the atmosphere of summer at a relaxed pace or those who wish to experience deep emotion.
Echigo goze (blind female itinerant musicians from Echigo)Ishikawa Sayuri
Sayuri Ishikawa has been active since the 1970s and continues to energetically release new works even in the Reiwa era.
Her single Echigo Goze, released in October 2023, drew attention because the lyrics were written during his lifetime by Tadashi Kitajō, who passed away in 2021, specifically for Ishikawa.
Listening to Ishikawa’s respectful vocal delivery toward the goze, Kitajō’s lyrics, and Keisuke Hama’s somewhat wistful melody, you can almost picture the goze on their harsh journeys.
Honestly, it’s difficult to imitate Ishikawa’s singing, with its seamless shifts between head voice and chest voice, but there are no extremely strong kobushi inflections or vibrato, the vocal range is relatively narrow, and there are spots to breathe before the flowing melodic lines—so with patient practice, it becomes quite singable.
