Songs with titles starting with “Hi.” The vast world of “Hi” (181–190)
Let me stay for the night.Kobayashi Sachiko
It’s a classic Showa-era kayokyoku that has an enka flavor, with striking rock-style guitar solos and riffs.
“Hitoban Tometene,” released by Sachiko Kobayashi in 1985, was composed by Katsuhiko Miki, who also worked on one of Kobayashi’s signature songs, “Moshikashite.” The overall key is on the lower side, and it’s the kind of song that expresses a sultry melody through the appeal of the low register, so it’s perfect for those who struggle with high notes.
The enka-style kobushi (ornamental turns) and vibrato are kept to a minimum, making it a great piece for beginners to enka to try!
A riot of blossoms! Bravo! Zipangu!Kobayashi Sachiko
Even with a career that firmly earns him the title of heavyweight, Mr.
Kobayashi constantly tackles a variety of genres and enjoys strong name recognition among younger generations.
His flexible attitude toward music shines through vividly in this track, “Hyakka Ryouran! Appare! Zipangu!” It’s a delightful East-meets-West number that fuses festival-style Japanese flair with big-band sounds, and it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
While you can mostly power through it on sheer groove, be sure to practice the section where Mr.
Kobayashi’s rich, soaring vibrato truly stands out so you can deliver it with confidence!
To the Land of FireIshikawa Sayuri
For Sayuri Ishikawa, who hails from Kumamoto Prefecture, this is truly a classic local song that lets her triumphantly return home in glory! Released in 1978, “Hi no Kuni e” is a Kumamoto-themed song set against Mt.
Aso, and Ishikawa even performed it at that year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen.
It’s hard to believe she had just turned 20 at the time—her powerful vocals are truly compelling.
Of course, it’s also very popular for karaoke, but “Hi no Kuni e,” created by the golden duo of Yu Aku and Takashi Miki—icons of the Showa era—blends enka elements with a strong kayokyoku flavor, so you can approach it with a classic Showa pop sensibility.
Feel the so-called 8-beat swing (hachiroku) rhythm, and try singing with careful, crisp articulation of each syllable in the lyrics.
Fluttering Cherry BlossomSnow Man
In this song, which serves as the theme for the stage production “Takizawa Kabuki ZERO,” Snow Man delivers a dazzling performance accompanied by elegant, classical Japanese lyrics.
The show is renowned for its dreamlike staging and refined costumes, and the performance of dancing amid a flurry of cherry blossoms drew significant attention on social media.
It’s a powerful track for moments when you want to feel the arrival of spring or are about to take a new step forward.
Stevenson screenhako
Ranked second in the Rookie division of VocaColle Summer 2023 was “Hyakuyou-bako.” This track was newly written by Haco for the album, and its lyrics portray shifting weather.
The chill sound, sampling the noise of water droplets, and Hatsune Miku’s whispery vocals are addictive.
Listen on repeat and savor its charm.
The lyrical world is also unique and wonderful, so be sure to check out what it conveys.
Cowardly Task Force UrotanderShin P
If you haven’t heard it before, first take a look at the number of comments on the video page.
I have a feeling you can get a sense of the atmosphere at the time it was released just from that figure.
It’s a song by Vocaloid producer Shin-P, released in 2007.
As the title suggests, it’s the theme song for ‘Hikyou Sentai Urotander,’ and the lyrics convey Urotander’s ‘anything goes as long as we win’ spirit.
That whole surreal vibe really feels like internet culture from back then.
If you listen to it with someone you’ve known for a long time, it might spark some nostalgic stories.
I don’t want to be a hero.40mP
Despite its fast-paced melody, what resonates in your chest as you listen is a feeling of sadness.
This song by 40mP was created as a tie-in track for Sanrio’s “Mai Mai Maigoen,” released in August 2024.
It’s themed around Wataru, and as the title suggests, it expresses the desire to “not become a hero.” For those familiar with the story, there may be lines that make your heart ache.
Wataru’s pure personality really comes through.
