South Wind – SOUTH WIND –Ōta Hiromi
If you want to savor an open, summery vibe, Hiromi Ohta’s “Minamikaze – SOUTH WIND -” is perfect.
Released in 1980 as her 17th single, it was used in a commercial for Kirin Beer’s “Kirin Orange” at the time.
Its refreshing sound, fitting for a soft drink commercial, puts you in a pleasant mood.
The lyrics, told from the perspective of young people who can’t wait for summer, feel charmingly fresh.
Definitely give “Minamikaze – SOUTH WIND -” a listen and soak up the summer atmosphere!
MUSIC BOOKYamashita Tatsuro
The song “MUSIC BOOK,” included as the B-side to the ninth single “Amaku Kiken na Kaori,” is a single cut from the sixth album “FOR YOU.” Its intro, colored by soulful choral work and refreshing strings, leaves a strong impression.
With a steady dynamics, a narrow vocal range, and a relaxed melody, it’s easy to try even for those who aren’t confident singers.
It’s a breezy pop tune with a stylish arrangement that’s sure to liven up any karaoke session.
Harbor FestivalMori Masako
The single Masako Mori released in 1977 is “Minato no Matsuri” (Harbor Festival).
Its lyrics poignantly portray a woman waiting in her hometown, thinking of the lover who has gone away.
She writes letters but receives no reply, and can only recall memories of the person who loved festivals.
It’s a song from around the time Mori was 19 and had just graduated high school, when she was beginning her full-fledged career as an enka singer.
I think it’s a track that will truly resonate with women waiting for someone in a port town, so please give it a listen!
lingering-regret sakeIshihara Junko
Miren-zake, a famous song by Junko Ishihara, is marked by its orthodox, warm melody.
While the piece features quintessential enka-style phrases throughout, it surprisingly doesn’t use much kobushi (melodic ornamentation).
The trickiest spot is the kobushi at the end of the chorus, which shifts across two scale steps.
In a typical enka song, this kind of ornament would be commonplace, so the supposed “difficult passage” is actually quite easy.
Since there’s no need to belt, simply focusing on a smooth, expansive long tone will make it sound convincingly enka-like.
Bullseye!! My hunch was spot on!!Takeuchi Pisutoru
An anthem supporting Japan’s national soccer team, featuring Takeshi “Pistol” Takehara’s powerful vocals and a driving band sound.
It drew attention as the theme song for the commercial aired during the AFC Asian qualifiers in September 2024.
The lyrics, infused with the players’ fighting spirit and the passionate feelings of the fans, are sure to set your heart ablaze.
It’s a track that could be called the culmination of Credit Saison’s more than 20 years of support for the national team.
This energetic rock number propels the players as they battle toward the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It’s the perfect song not only for watching soccer, but also to boost your spirits before an important match or challenge.

MIDNIGHT TRAVELERSuzuki Masayuki
With its effortlessly cool vibe, “MIDNIGHT TRAVELER” is another highly recommended track.
It’s included on their sixth album, “Perfume,” and was also released as a single due to its popularity.
Its standout feature is the laid-back vocal delivery set against a city pop-like sound.
By deliberately avoiding excessive force, it conveys a mature sense of ease.
Of course, dynamics are still necessary, but even those who aren’t confident in their vocal power should find it approachable.
