Husband-and-wife sugorokuKitano Machiko
This is a heartwarming enka song that likens a married couple’s journey through life to a sugoroku board game.
Sung with rich expressiveness by Machiko Kitano, the piece portrays the joys and trials of life with deep emotion.
Within its unhurried tempo lies a moving resolve to keep walking forward while building a life of love together.
Released in February 2025 by King Records, the song was composed by Hiroshi Tokuhisa with lyrics by Takashi Manjo.
It’s a perfect choice for celebrating a wedding anniversary or for peaceful moments spent together as a couple.
The resonant vocals and warm lyrics will surely deepen the bond with someone dear.
pinwheelYoshi Ikuzo
Kazuo Yoshii’s masterpiece “Kazeguruma,” released in 2024, opens with an electric guitar that’s very characteristic of enka.
From there, the voltage settles as it moves into the A-melody.
As you can hear, however, this piece reflects strong pop elements rather than being pure enka.
The chorus in particular evokes 1970s and ’80s folk rock.
Naturally, there are fewer instances of kobushi (ornamental vocal turns), making this one of the easiest songs to sing in Yoshii’s catalog.
Stand in the windSakamoto Fuyumi
When you think of Fuyumi Sakamoto, catchy enka comes to mind, but this piece is composed with a particularly familiar, pop-leaning melody even among her works.
While the vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, there are no long sustained notes at the very top, so it’s not a song that demands a specific voice type.
In addition, there are relatively few kobushi (the characteristic enka vocal ornament), so as long as you follow the vocal line carefully, anyone should be able to sing it without trouble.
There is a brief falsetto part in the chorus; if that feels difficult, try lowering the key.
The overall range isn’t wide, so if you set the key properly, anyone should be able to sing it through.
impure loveDomura Riu
A gem of a love song by Riu Domura that powerfully conveys the pain and poignancy of a love you can’t tell anyone about.
It delicately portrays the feelings of a woman who, despite having been with the one she loves, ends up feeling even more alone.
Depicting the struggle of a woman who suffers in a convenient relationship yet cannot cut off her feelings for the other person, the track was released in January 2024, later included on the album “Irregular Diary,” and has become a fan favorite performed live.
It’s a song we especially recommend to those who have been hurt by love or are currently tormented by an unrequited relationship.
Hometown is in the heart.Tsukahara Teppei
Tetsuhei Tsukahara, known as an enka singer from Hitoyoshi City in Kumamoto Prefecture, made his major debut in September 2008 with “Otoko no Kinjitō” (A Man’s Monument).
While upholding the traditional enka style, he captivates many fans with songs infused with contemporary sensibilities.
In 1999, he received a Special Award at the Japan Studio Karaoke Grand Prix national competition and won the championship at NHK’s Nodo Jiman Kumamoto contest the same year.
Released in January 2012, “Ore no Furusato” (My Hometown) is a gem that passionately sings of his roots and has left a deep impression on the people of Kumamoto.
Also known as a baseball enthusiast, Tsukahara formed the band “Ebisu Honjin” in 2024 and has been active in various endeavors, including performing the fight song for a professional baseball team in Kumamoto.
He is highly recommended for anyone who wants to be captivated by a voice overflowing with love for his hometown.
My hometown now…Ōe Yutaka
The piece “Furusato wa Ima…” is notable for its melody that evokes both wistfulness and warmth.
Its kobushi ornamentation is not very difficult, and the vocal range required isn’t particularly wide.
There is a slightly complex rise-and-fall kobushi just before the chorus, but otherwise the ornamentation is fairly orthodox, so anyone with basic enka singing skills shouldn’t find it too challenging.
Because the song relies on dynamic shading, be sure to control the key points firmly when you sing.

A song released by Anzen Chitai in October 1986 that gained popularity on the TV show “Yoru no Hit Studio” was used in a Daio Paper commercial.
Featured on the album Anzen Chitai V, it drew strong response, reaching No.
7 on the Oricon chart and peaking at No.
2 on The Best Ten.
Koji Tamaki’s expressively rich vocals poignantly convey the delicate emotional shifts of a relationship transitioning from lovers to friends.
The beautiful melody, unfolding from a wistful piano intro into a grand orchestral arrangement, gently resonates with anyone feeling the loneliness of a changing bond with someone dear.
