Lovers’ CapeMizumori Kaori
Kaori Mizumori’s classic “Koibito Misaki” (“Lovers’ Cape”).
This piece spotlights Shizuoka Prefecture and beautifully portrays a couple in love against the backdrop of Mt.

Leaning more toward kayōkyoku (Japanese pop ballad) than pure enka, it’s very easy to sing for those who struggle with kobushi.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
