This is a song included on the album “LIFE IN DOWNTOWN,” released in 2006.

It’s a beautiful ballad with lyrics about lovers who once gazed at the night sky together gradually drifting apart.

Partway through, there’s a line expressing a wish to show the beautiful starry sky to the singer’s younger brother.

Masaru Yokouchi, born on July 1, 1941, has built a brilliant career long cherished in the world of enka.

He has appeared widely in numerous films and TV dramas, and he became especially well known for his roles in Mito Komon and Abarenbo Shogun.

With a captivating low voice, his singing creates a distinctive world of its own, reflecting influences from his musically inclined family background.

Drawing on a wealth of life experience, Yokouchi’s enka resonates deeply with listeners and at times evokes a sense of nostalgia.

His voice, which bridges past and present, enjoys broad support across generations and carries an unmistakable presence.

Among the Sakamichi Series groups, Keyakizaka46 is an idol group especially known for its stylish musicality.

They keep dropping hit numbers time after time, but the work we particularly recommend to teenage girls is “Essential Things.” While Keyakizaka46 often has songs with somewhat complex vocal lines, this piece is arranged relatively simply.

There are no especially challenging high notes, so even those whose vocal projection isn’t very stable should be able to sing it without trouble.

Let’s hit the winter roads with a hard-edged rock ’n’ roll sound! Featured on The Maukos’ major-label debut album and released in April 2010, this track drew attention, including being chosen as the opening theme for TV Kanagawa’s music program “Ongakukan.” Its lyrics, themed around escapism and forbidden love, really strike a chord.

Highly recommended for those who want to feel the rush of racing through the night city with just you and your lover.

When you want to liven up the mood with a happy Vocaloid song, “Stellar Night Orchestra” is perfect.

This piece was written by Vocaloid producer Atsu Mizuno for the in-game unit Wonderlands×Showtime in a smartphone game.

Since it’s a song about the joy of meeting your friends, it’s also great for expressing gratitude.

And because it was originally sung by multiple people, it’s fun to sing together with friends at karaoke.

Give it a try and sing it with energy!

The song Akiko Under the Starry Sky was released in 2002.

It came out as the fifth single, but since the B-side, Denden-mushi, was used as the ending theme for an NHK drama, I imagine not many people remember this A-side track.

Despite that somewhat unfortunate fate, it’s actually a very easy enka song to sing.

The tempo is mid-tempo for enka, but it features an unusually large number of long tones, and those long tones are simply held with vibrato, making them very easy.

There are no complex kobushi that move up and down by three or four notes, so anyone familiar with enka should be able to sing it with ease.

fireflyNagai Masato

It’s a pop song that contemplates one’s existence and shine while gazing up at the city night sky.

Released in January 2001, the track was used as the third ending theme for the anime HUNTER×HUNTER.

The lyrics, co-written by Masato Nagai and Ryutaro Sumi, carry a powerful determination to shine through one’s own strength, resonating deeply.

Its driving melody and passionate vocals are also captivating.

Perfect for those moments when you want to embrace the feeling of “living true to yourself.”
