[Japan’s Best Vocalist] Fukuda Kohei’s Easy-to-Sing Karaoke Songs

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

Kohei Fukuda is an enka singer who boasts top-tier vocal ability in today’s enka scene.

He has won numerous major enka and folk song competitions, including the 25th Japan Folk Song Festival, and is highly acclaimed by composers and fellow singers as someone who should carry the future of Japanese enka.

Many of his songs are high in difficulty to showcase that level of skill, but this time we’ve picked out some of Kohei Fukuda’s tracks that are relatively easy to sing!

That said, since these are songs by Kohei Fukuda—often cited as one of the top three in Japan—you’ll still need at least intermediate-level ability.

Be sure to find the songs that fit you best!

Kohei Fukuda, who continues to captivate enka fans with the overwhelming vocal power and delicate ornamentation he honed through folk music, is back.

Set for release in January 2026, “Kokorozashi (Resolve)” is a grand piece that questions the way we live and the convictions we hold.

Tetsuya Gen’s wistful melody blends beautifully with Fukuda’s solid, resonant voice, leaving a deep impression on the listener.

It’s a powerful yet warm work, perfect for the start of a new year.

In conclusion

This time, I picked out some of Kohei Fukuda’s songs that are relatively easy to sing, but even the “easy” ones turned out to be quite challenging, didn’t they? He is undoubtedly a powerhouse who leads Japanese enka on merit, much like Takashi Hosokawa, so I expect it will remain rare for simple songs to be released.

That said, I’ll keep updating this article, so please be sure to bookmark it!
