Compilation of song titles starting with “Ma” (471–480)

Mother of My EyesFukuda Kouhei

Kohei Fukuda is a popular enka singer whose father is the folk singer Iwatsuki Fukuda.

Even before his debut, he had already won many competitions.

With his unique phrasing rooted in folk music and his exceptional vocal ability as his weapons, Fukuda has been highly praised by giants of the enka world, including Saburo Kitajima.

There are surely many people who want to try his songs at karaoke.

Maboroshi no Haha (Mother of My Eyelids) is a cover of a song that has been beloved since the Showa era, included on his 2012 album Mother: Songs for the Mothers of Japan.

Fukuda’s mastery in delivering this classic—covered by many singers—is truly impressive, but to be honest, the bar is even higher when you try to sing it with his kind of phrasing on top of an already difficult song.

First practice until you can sing the melody, with its wide range and sharply rising and falling intervals, entirely by heart including the lyrics.

After that, try imitating Fukuda’s distinctive singing style, refined through his background in folk music.

Matsuri 1-chomeNatsuki Kaori

This debut work by Kaori Natsuki vividly portrays the passion of a festival and a fleeting night of romance.

Released in August 2024, it stands out for its emotive performance and Natsuki’s clear, translucent vocals.

The lyrics skillfully capture the bustle of the festival and the quickening of young love, resonating deeply with listeners.

While cherishing the charm of traditional enka, it also incorporates modern arrangements, resulting in an ambitious piece.

It’s a recommended track not only for enka fans but also for those interested in Japanese traditional culture.

waxing; filling up; becoming full; growing (e.g., the moon growing fuller)Fuji Kaze

Fujii Kaze is a singer-songwriter who’s gained nationwide popularity with his catchy style that blends R&B into J-pop.

He has many great songs, but the one I especially recommend is Michite Yuku.

While it features Kaze’s signature R&B sound, it also incorporates touches of jazz throughout.

In the latter part of the track, there’s a major key change.

Rather than a sudden shift that completely alters the mood, it’s a modulation that follows the song’s storyline, so it feels entirely natural.

MunchkinFujiwara Hagane

An energetic, playful track! It’s a piece that showcases Hagane Fujiwara’s musical sensibilities, released in August 2024.

The dynamically unfolding electropop sound is captivating.

Each listen brings new discoveries, giving it an addictive quality that makes you want to play it over and over.

The lyrics’ cynically tinged message is another highlight.

Be sure to turn up the volume and enjoy!
