Stop fightingKawai Naoko
“Stop Fighting,” one of the signature songs by Naoko Kawai, a leading idol of the 1980s.
The song was written and composed by Mariya Takeuchi, who later released a self-cover.
It portrays a love triangle in which two men are in love with the same woman and end up fighting over her, while she urges them to stop.
Though it sounds like a ballad that captures the wavering heart of a woman, matching Naoko Kawai’s cute and innocent image, when you carefully read the lyrics as you listen, you can’t help but feel she’s actually quite a little temptress.
devotionAkiniba Yutaka & Aronaitsu
Akiba Yutaka and The Arrow Knights’ lead vocalist Akira Kinoshita has a voice that’s both lustrous and sharp, and “Kenshin” is a masterpiece of mood enka that highlights his appeal even more.
If you sing it to make up after a fight with your girlfriend, she’ll surely forgive you—so give it a try.
Stop fightingTakeuchi Mariya
Originally written by Mariya Takeuchi as the 10th single released by Naoko Kawai, the song came out in September 1982.
In 1987, Takeuchi released her own self-cover.
This self-cover version is included on the 1987 album “REQUEST” and the 2008 album “Expressions.” The song features an extremely catchy, easy-to-hum melody and tempo, and the vocal range used is comfortable for most people, making it manageable even for those who aren’t confident singers.
Because the melody has relatively little dramatic rise and fall, it’s best to maintain a gentle overall feel while avoiding monotony—ideally by understanding and conveying the meaning of the lyrics as you sing.
experienceHenmi Mari
Mari Henmi was born in Zushi, Kanagawa Prefecture, and spent many of her early years in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture.
She is of mixed heritage, with a Spanish-American father and a Japanese mother.
She studied ballet in childhood and reportedly dreamed of becoming a ballerina while in elementary school.
She made her singing debut in 1960 and drew attention as a sexy kayō (pop) singer with her second single, “Keiken” (Experience).
makeupAoki Miho
Mihoko Aoki is an enka singer who energetically performs overseas, including in Hawaii and Malaysia.
Her debut as a singer is a bit unusual.
She was a member of Hiroshi Itsuki’s fan club, and when she sang at a karaoke contest held at a fan gathering, she was reportedly scouted by Hiroshi Itsuki himself.
Her song Yume Ichirin, composed by Itsuki, became a hit, and Kesho, composed by Takao Horiuchi, was also a hit.
Just when it seemed everything was going smoothly, she was suddenly struck by an illness.
But don’t worry—nine years later, Aoki returned to the stage like a phoenix.
We simply can’t take our eyes off her ongoing success.

fireflyRADWIMPS
RADWIMPS’s “Hotaru (Firefly)” is a song released in 2006 that portrays a story of inner conflict and growth.
The metaphors of rainbows, phoenixes, and fireflies used in the lyrics carry a powerful resonance with listeners.
Yojiro Noda’s writing, which depicts a journey of self-discovery in search of shining moments, shows us beautiful scenery even in difficult times.
I hope this song stays close to your heart and helps lighten the pain you’re feeling, little by little.
