The Empty One Beside the Star ~Orihime~ura man P
If you’re looking for a slightly dark-humored Tanabata song, I recommend “The Airhead Next to the Stars ~Orihime~” by Ie no Ura de Manbou ga Shinderu-P.
Longing to meet Hikoboshi, whom she can hardly see on Tanabata because of bad weather, Orihime searches for a kappa that can cross the Milky Way—yet somehow ends up getting absorbed in running a company.
When she finally meets a kappa and asks it to bring Hikoboshi to her, the story comes to an “oh dear” kind of ending.
It’s a number that portrays the bittersweet Tanabata legend with a comical, dark twist.
Did Orihime ever meet Hikoboshi? Find out with your own ears.
Hokkai Onna-bushiNishio Yuki
Yuki Nishio, from Hirosaki City in Aomori Prefecture, is an artist who combines the skill of an enka singer with the high expressive power of an impressionist performer.
She debuted in 1993 with “Kaikyō Renga,” and the following year won the Japan Record Award for Best New Artist.
In 1995, “Yanzarae” became a major hit and a karaoke standard.
Alongside her work as an enka singer, she has also been active as an impressionist, winning MVP seven times on Nippon TV’s “Monomane Battle Taisho.” In 2008, she performed the theme song for the anime “Yatterman,” showcasing a wide range of activities.
She is recommended not only for enka fans but also for those who enjoy impressions and variety entertainment.

Released as a single in 2023, Hoshikuzu Serenade likely surprised many listeners at the time, especially since the previous release, Shinki Itten, was a classic enka number.

With a straightforward, easy-to-remember melodic line that doesn’t swing wildly in range, it’s a song anyone—young or old, male or female—can sing comfortably.

Wandering Star (English ver)Tatsuno Tsumiki
This is a song that helps you memorize lots of English words.
It’s one of the tracks in the “Singing English Vocabulary” series, with lyrics by the project planner, Tsumiki Tatsuno, and music by 10-day P, who is also known as the creator of “Rosetta.” It has a very pop feel that makes your heart skip with excitement as you listen.
The lyrics about love that transcends the boundaries of the universe are adorable.
There’s a Japanese version, so I recommend listening to that first and then the English version.
Of course, every song in the series is educational.

This song is included on the album “So It Won’t Become Just a Memory,” released in 2018.
Her gentle vocals match perfectly with the accompaniment, which combines a lively band sound with a refreshing acoustic guitar.
The overall atmosphere of the track and the lyrics—singing “Let’s go anywhere, just the two of us”—are captivating, but her vocal work is truly outstanding! Especially from just before the chorus into the chorus itself, you can really feel the allure of her singing, with abundant use of vibrato and seamless shifts between falsetto and chest voice.
