Mito Kaidō (Mito Highway/Road)Narasaki Masaaki
As the title suggests, this is a hometown-loving piece themed around the Mito Kaido, the old highway stretching from Ibaraki Prefecture to Tokyo.
The song is by Masaaki Narazaki, a singer from Ibaraki who also serves as a Mito ambassador, and it was released in May 2024.
The lively melody pairs beautifully with lyrics that evoke a sense of travel, bringing the scenery of the highway vividly to mind.
And Narazaki’s warm, rich vocals are truly wonderful.
It’s a song that lifts your spirits—one I’d highly recommend for karaoke with friends!
MYSTERIOUSjoōbachi
Queen Bee’s acclaimed song “MYSTERIOUS” was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Raven of the Inner Palace.
Released in 2022 as their eighth single, its polished, jazzy sound creates a sophisticated atmosphere.
In the music video, vocalist Avu-chan appears in a dazzling blue dress, delivering a sultry and irresistibly sexy performance.
It’s a track that beautifully captures the anime’s worldview, so why not listen to it alongside the show?
I long for Southern HokkaidoKoyama Yudai
Yudai Koyama is an enka singer whose steady, solid vocal ability is striking—something you wouldn’t expect from his boyish, almost high-schooler look.
His voice may seem high-pitched at first, but that’s only in the upper register; his mid to low range has richness and depth, and his stable vocal technique is highly regarded in the industry.
His new song, “Donan Koishiya,” is a piece that encapsulates his charm.
Though he sings it with an effortless touch, the song features a great many delicate kobushi (melismatic ornamentations).
Be sure to check it out.
Harbor TavernYamakawa Yutaka
The masterpiece “Minato Sakaba,” with its expansive vocals and bittersweet melody, leaves a strong impression.
Since it’s a relatively recent song, Yutaka Yamakawa’s low, mature phrasing—something he didn’t have in his younger days—really stands out.
Although this piece falls into the so-called ‘man’s song’ category and has plenty of power, it never resorts to the roughness of shouted vocals.
Instead, it conveys masculinity through lower tones, which makes it a bit challenging for men with higher voices.
The frequency and difficulty of kobushi (ornamental vocal turns) are far easier than in typical enka, so if you have a deep voice, consider adding it to your repertoire.

Cape TourYamamoto Kōtarō to Uīkuei Endo
Gently enveloping the ache of heartbreak, this song features Kotaro Yamamoto’s soft vocals that sink deeply into the heart.
Released in June 1974 as his debut single, it became a major hit, reaching No.
5 on the Oricon singles chart.
Loved by many, it was even adopted as the station melody on the Keikyu Kurihama Line.
The scenes woven from the loneliness of traveling alone, the courage to look ahead, and thoughts of a cherished person soothe the soul alongside the calm melody.
It’s a recommended track for moments when you want to rest your heart and linger in warm nostalgia.
A Lone Journey to MichinokuYamamoto Jōji
This is one of Joji Yamamoto’s signature songs.
It was introduced to him by his mentor, Saburo Kitajima.
After hearing it, Yamamoto begged to sing it, which led to a massive hit.
It has since become a classic that continues to be performed.
The low notes in the B section may be difficult to produce even for men.
Practice so that your chest voice resonates solidly within your body.
Doing so will improve not only your low notes but your high notes as well.
The famous, relentless phrase at the ending may feel challenging precisely because the pitch doesn’t change much.
Engage your core and sing with firm abdominal support.
Michinoku’s Forgotten SnowYamamoto Jōji
The word “Michinoku” instantly grabs your attention, inevitably calling to mind Jōji Yamamoto’s huge hit “Michinoku Hitoritabi.” His “Michinoku Wasurayuki,” released as a single in 2023, also drew buzz among fans because it was composed by Tetsuya Gen, marking their first collaboration since Yamamoto’s 2017 song “Futari de Yokatta.” A guitar contest was even held as part of the “Jōji Yamamoto Metal-ization Project,” which helped raise the song’s profile among listeners who don’t usually listen to enka.
The song powerfully conveys the selfishness and melancholy of a man who leaves the woman he loves without a word—something that makes you want to try it at karaoke, emulating Yamamoto’s commanding delivery.
That said, the techniques like kobushi and vibrato, and especially the low notes, can be a hurdle for those who struggle with lower registers.
Try adjusting the key and practicing with a focus on producing that Yamamoto-style strong low tone.
