Nostalgia for My HometownHazuki Minami
Minami Hazuki is an enka and kayōkyoku singer from Niigata Prefecture.
She made her CD debut in 2009 with “Koi no Uranai Kakure Dori” on King Records, moved to Tokyo in 2020, and transferred to Teichiku Records in June 2021.
Her first single after the move, “Yurusanai de… Nee,” reached No.
1 on the Weekly USEN HIT Enka/Kayōkyoku Chart.
A versatile artist, she not only performs enka but also takes on a wide range of genres including pop and rock, and showcases piano-vocal performances and flute playing.
She is recommended for listeners drawn to songs imbued with love for her hometown and to a voice that feels both nostalgic and fresh, reminiscent of Showa-era kayōkyoku.
Two-person roadFuji Ayako
Released in 2019 as Aya-ko Fuji’s first single of the Reiwa era, “Futarimichi” became a hot topic as a Reiwa-era enka masterpiece, also because it was composed by Norimasa Nakamura, who wrote Fuji’s signature songs “Kokoro-zake” and “Murasaki Ujō.” Sung from a woman’s perspective about a traditional husband-and-wife relationship, Fuji’s characteristically sultry vocals are truly moving.
With its major key and unhurried, classic enka feel, it’s perfect for beginners—give it a try at karaoke.
It’s also ideal for practicing essential enka techniques like kobushi (melismatic scoops) and vibrato!
The Bond Between Us Twotatsumi yūto
Released in 2022 as the coupling track to the historical enka song “Setsugekka,” themed around Okita Sōji of the Shinsengumi, “Futari no Kizuna” is, true to its title’s image, a quintessential “happy enka.” If you enjoy heartwarming enka brimming with love and happiness, you should definitely try singing it at karaoke.
Tatsumi’s performance avoids gimmicks and smoothly incorporates classic enka techniques like kobushi and vibrato, making it approachable even for beginners to enka.
Husband-and-Wife SlopeMiyako Harumi
Harumi Miyako has reigned as one of Japan’s leading enka singers across the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras.
She made her debut in 1964 with “Komaru no Koto yo,” and the following year shot to stardom with “Anko Tsubaki wa Koi no Hana.” Her powerful yet deeply expressive voice has moved countless listeners and produced numerous hit songs.
In 1975, “Kita no Yado kara” won both the Japan Record Award and the Japan Kayō Award.
Then, with “Osaka Shigure” in 1980, she received the Best Vocal Performance award, achieving an unprecedented triple crown in the history of the Japan Record Awards.
She also appeared in NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen for 20 consecutive years starting in 1965, truly becoming a familiar “face of New Year’s Eve.” She is highly recommended not only for enka fans but also for anyone who wants to experience traditional Japanese singing.
Two People in OsakaMiyako Harumi · Miyazaki Masa
A gem of a duet that portrays a heartrending farewell between a man and a woman set in Osaka.
Sung in 1981 by Harumi Miyako and Masashi Miyazaki, the song richly conveys the emotions of two people sharing their last dance at a club.
With Osaka landmarks like Midosuji and Yodoyabashi woven into the lyrics, it vividly depicts the couple as they revisit places full of memories and try to accept their parting.
It is also included on Harumi Miyako’s album “Harumi Miyako Duet Collection ~Futari no Osaka~,” alongside other classic tracks.
This is a song for those who wish to sing out the feelings they hold in their hearts, and one to cherish as a memory with someone special.
Its tender, aching vocals will surely resonate in both of your hearts.
Song of Wind and LoveKouzai Kaori
Kaori Kozai’s classic “Furenka,” released in 2008, is an orthodox enka song suffused with melancholy throughout.
It features a fair number of kobushi (melodic turns), including many that span more than three scale steps, but the overall vocal range is not wide, so its difficulty level as enka goes is not particularly high.
If you have a basic command of enka techniques, you should be able to sing it without much trouble.
The melody is catchy, too, so it goes over extremely well at karaoke.

Released in October 2024, “Fuel” is an original track written for the in-game unit Vivid BAD SQUAD from the mobile game Project Sekai: Colorful Stage!.
True to its title, the energetic lyrics ignite your fighting spirit.
It rejects personal weakness and superficial encouragement from others, pushing you to move forward with your inner passion as fuel—that’s the message it conveys.
Turn up the volume and give it a listen!
