Beast RoadOno Daisuke
It’s a mature anime song that makes you want to sing along.
It’s a track by the hugely popular voice actor Daisuke Ono, released in 2021 as his 14th single.
The song was used as the opening theme for the anime Kemono Jihen, based on the manga by Shō Aimoto.
The exotic feel of the melody pairs perfectly with Ono’s velvety vocals, resulting in a very cool finish—it’s utterly captivating to listen to.
Women in particular might really understand its charm.
KeikoYamakawa Yutaka
Yutaka Yamakawa’s classic “Hotaruko” is memorable for its masculine lyrics that express deep feelings for a woman.
While it’s categorized as a so-called “man’s song,” its power is somewhat restrained compared to typical enka.
Instead, it emphasizes a smooth, mellow singing style, so high-level techniques like shouts aren’t required.
Also, aside from the very end of the chorus, there aren’t particularly difficult spots for kobushi (melodic turns), and even there, the kobushi functions as an extension of the vibrato.
Overall, the level of difficulty is quite low for an enka song.
Kerok! MarchYamane Mai
Kerok! to March was composed as the first opening theme for the hugely popular sci-fi comedy anime Sgt.
Frog (Keroro Gunso).
Arranged like a marching tune, it’s a very fun song.
There are many cover versions, but the platoon version sung by the voice actors from Sgt.
Frog is especially recommended.
Que Sera, Sera (Whatever will be, will be)Yamada-ke no hito-tachi
This is a song from Isao Takahata’s animated film “My Neighbors the Yamadas.” Among Ghibli works, it’s particularly warm and gentle, and the arrangement in which the characters perform this classic chanson has an indescribably heartwarming charm.
The triple meter feels very pleasant, and it’s a piece that can lighten the mood with a tasteful performance even for those who aren’t confident in their singing.
