The winds of the Kirishima mountain range weepNishikawa Hitomi
Hitomi Nishikawa is a singer whose soul-stirring voice, nurtured by the spirit of Kumamoto, is her greatest allure.
Released in August 2025, this work is a quintessential example of her signature, classic jōnen enka style.
Set against the Kirishima mountain range in Kyushu, it tells of a burning love for someone she cannot meet.
The protagonist’s journey across the peaks, from Karakunidake to Takachiho, vividly mirrors emotions blazing beyond control.
With Chiaki Oka’s rich melody fused seamlessly with Nishikawa’s resonant “unari-bushi” vocal technique, the result is a deeply compelling track.
Kiss Kiss KissAKASAKI
Just a loved one’s hair fluttering in the wind makes the whole world seem to shine! This song, created by singer-songwriter AKASAKI, is set for release in August 2025.
It’s featured as the web commercial song for Hoyu’s Self-Color Project.
The piece is told from two perspectives: a girl who boldly changes her look with self-coloring, and the man who is captivated by her transformation.
The lyrics overflow with the thrill of romance and a sweet, bittersweet feeling that’s irresistible.
It’s a rhythmic, positive track that boosts your romantic mood.
Can Be BetterBEAST (HIGHLIGHT)
A Highlight song whose warm message—don’t cling to a painful past, lift your head and move forward—truly resonates.
This track is the lead single from the mini album “Celebrate,” produced in October 2017 to mark the group’s 8th anniversary.
Set to a bright pop sound, it conveys a sense of affirmation about letting go of attachments to the past, cherishing yourself, and moving toward the future.
Precisely because it was created after they themselves overcame major changes, the lyrics carry a deep sense of conviction.
It’s a song that gently gives you a push and wraps you in kindness.
Kiyoshi’s Zundoko SongHikawa Kiyoshi
Kiyoshi Hikawa, a figure who sent shockwaves through the enka world.
Though an idol-type enka singer, he possesses solid vocal prowess and has influenced many as an artist who combines skill with catchiness.
“Kiyoshi no Zundoko Bushi” is one of his hit numbers.
While this song spans a fairly wide range—mid1 C to hi B—the pitch shifts in the kobushi (melodic ornaments) are kept to at most two notes, making the overall difficulty as enka relatively low.
If you have a reasonably wide vocal range, you should be able to sing it without trouble.
It’s immensely popular among madams, so consider adding it to your repertoire.
