He made his fourth appearance on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen after five years, and went on to perform it three more times.
The lyrics, where deep affection intertwines with a premonition of farewell, have resonated with many and remained beloved for years.

Kujūkuri BeachMizumori Kaori
Kujukuri Beach, known as the largest sandy coastline in Japan, is one of Chiba Prefecture’s signature tourist spots.
The song ‘Kujukuri Beach,’ sung by Kaori Mizumori, is a moving enka piece set against that backdrop.
It opens with a tragic melody, gradually shifts to a brighter tone, and then returns to a tragic melody in the chorus—resulting in a work with many changing expressions.
It may seem difficult, but since it features almost no kobushi (melodic ornamentation typical of enka), anyone comfortable singing kayōkyoku (Japanese popular songs) should be able to perform it without trouble.

Don’t worry about it.Hikawa Kiyoshi
Among the many enka singers, Kiyoshi Hikawa is especially known for his wide musical range.
Even among his works, the standout piece that drew attention as an unconventional masterpiece is “Kinishinai.” While this is a pop song, it’s strongly infused throughout with elements of dance music.
The melody has a great groove, yet the vocal range is surprisingly narrow and the tempo isn’t particularly fast, so even those who find recent songs challenging should be able to sing it with ease.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
