[Karaoke] A collection of easy-to-sing Misora Hibari songs (11–20)
Harbor Town No. 13

Set in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture—Misora Hibari’s hometown—and neighboring Kawasaki, “Minato-machi Jūsan-banchi” is a song Hibari herself loved, known as a ‘madrosu kayō’ (sailor-themed popular song).
There’s a scene in the 2013 morning drama Amachan where a character sings it, so many younger people have likely heard it as well.
The melody has wide interval jumps and a generally high range, so it may be challenging for lower voices.
However, its simple structure makes it easy to learn, and if you get used to the height or lower the key to suit your range, you should be able to sing it well at karaoke.
In conclusion
There are so many songs by Hibari Misora that it’s hard to decide which one to choose! I hope this article will be helpful at times like that.
Of course, what feels “easy to sing” varies from person to person.
Try them one by one and find the one that suits you best!
