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.
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.

Mr.
Birthday, sung by singer-songwriter Aoi Yamazaki, is a song born from an unconventional production process: creating it together with fans during a live stream.

But when you listen to this song, it will help you rediscover your birthday as a purely special and happy occasion.
Celebrating a birthday is a wonderful, joyful thing at any age!
