Kumano KodoMizumori Kaori
Kaori Mizumori’s famous song “Kumano Kodo,” set along the pilgrimage route that spans Mie, Nara, Wakayama, and Osaka, is a piece where the essence of enka truly bursts forth, with a relatively high number of kobushi (ornamental scoops).
The vocal range is wide, so it may seem somewhat difficult.
In reality, however, there are no kobushi that require leaps of more than three notes, and there are no sustained high notes, making it unexpectedly easy to sing.
If you’re fairly familiar with enka, you should be able to perform it without any trouble.

She went on to take first place in the Kagoshima Prefecture Folk Song Championship and placed fifth in the National Children’s Folk Song Competition, and she also won on NHK Nodo Jiman.
Her track record speaks to her exceptional ability.
Her greatest charm is, above all, her vocal quality—a distinctive timbre that pairs beautifully with ethereal songs.
