Blue WaterMorikawa Miho
Miho Morikawa is an artist who gained popularity for her cool vocal timbre and stable vocal performance—so much so that it’s hard to believe she started as an idol.
Her signature song “Blue Water” is famous as the theme song for the anime Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and has attracted a great deal of popularity.
Although it’s a powerful piece, the vocal range is actually narrow, and the melody line has relatively few ups and downs, making it easier to sing than it sounds.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
My pager doesn’t beep anymoreKunitake Mari
Mari Kunitake, who was active as a singer and model.
She’s what you might call a one-hit wonder, but many people probably still remember her.
Speaking of her hit song, of course it has to be “Pokeberu ga Naranakute” (“My Pager Doesn’t Ring”).
Released as the theme song for a drama of the same name, this piece is arranged as a ballad, with a vocal line that has little fluctuation and is very easy to sing.
Many of you likely watched the drama at the time, so consider adding this song to your repertoire.
I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki
Maki Ohguro, an artist born in Sapporo, Hokkaido, has captivated many fans with her powerful vocals and compelling performances.
She began playing in bands during high school and made her debut in 1992.
Since then, she has enlivened the music scene with songs rooted in pop while incorporating a wide range of genres such as rock and R&B.
Known for her strong vocals and catchy melodies, she received the Excellent Work Award at the Japan Record Awards and was named one of the Best 5 Artists at the Japan Gold Disc Awards in 1995.
After overcoming a period of hiatus, she continues to be highly active today.
Her worldview—expressed through powerful singing and lyrics that resonate with the heart—is a perfect match for listeners seeking both the vigor and warmth that music can offer.
paper craneOka Midori
Released in February 2019, “Kami no Tsuru” (Paper Crane) is a memorable single for Midori Oka, as it marked her first entry into the top 20 of the Oricon charts.
While the melody is bright, it carries a certain poignancy and wistfulness—a classic enka sound that resonates with the Japanese heart.
That said, the typical enka-style vocal ornaments like strong kobushi and intense vibrato are relatively restrained here.
If you focus on singing gently and sincerely, as Oka does, it’s quite approachable even for beginners to enka.
Interestingly, the lower notes can be more challenging than the high ones, so I recommend practicing with clear enunciation and working to apply solid vibrato on the low passages.

MetamorphosisKudō Shizuka
Shizuka Kudo’s classic song “Metamorphose.” Released in the 1990s, it’s characterized by a mischievous yet mature vibe that idols of that era rarely had.
It’s also an easy song to sing.
The main reasons are its limited vocal range and the lack of long sustained notes.
Surprisingly, the range is on the narrow side, so even those who can’t hit high notes can sing it without trouble.
Plus, since there are no long tones, it’s recommended for anyone who struggles with breath control.
Give it a try.
vexing lipsTakahashi Mariko
Mariko Takahashi’s classic “Hagayui Kuchibiru” (“Frustrated Lips”).
With its very mature lyrics and alluring melody, it became a huge hit in the 1990s.
It still retains a touch of late-1980s synth atmosphere, giving it a pleasantly nostalgic, era-defining feel.
The song also carries the essence of kayōkyoku (traditional Japanese pop), resulting in an extremely catchy and easy-to-sing melody.
Centered in the low-mid to mid vocal range, it’s comfortable even for those who can’t hit high notes.
You don’t listen to rock.aimyon
A song by Aimyon that portrays a single-hearted wish to close the emotional distance with the one you care about.
The earnest desire to connect with someone through the music you love is expressed over an approachable melody.
Released in August 2017 by Warner Music Japan, it was selected for power play on 42 radio stations nationwide.
The music video, filmed in abandoned ruins in Fukushima Prefecture, also drew attention.
Its catchy melody makes it easy to remember, and since the vocal range isn’t very wide, it’s appealing because anyone can enjoy singing it.
