Songs with Titles Starting with “Ko” [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori!] (491–500)

Love RegretKouzai Kaori

Kaori Kozai often uses a vocal technique called the hiccup style.

This technique involves briefly flipping the voice, and she frequently uses it to add kobushi-like ornamentation.

A classic song that makes extensive use of this distinctive kobushi is “Koi Miren.” Once you get used to hiccups, executing this kind of ornamentation is easy, and this piece also features a vocal line with gentle rises and falls in pitch.

Therefore, if you’re accustomed to the hiccup technique, you should be able to sing it without any trouble.

Kaori Kozai – “Koimachi Shigure”
Love Town ShowerKouzai Kaori

Ko-zai Kaori’s masterpiece “Koimachi Shigure” is notable for its heartwarming melody and bittersweet romance.

Released in her later years, the song features vocals that emphasize emotion and expression rather than showcasing technique.

As a result, the kobushi—often a challenging aspect of enka—is relatively easy here, mostly condensed into turns that shift by just a single scale degree.

The Kawachi-ondo-style kobushi at the end of the chorus should pose no problem for those who have mastered the hiccup technique.
