Songs with titles that start with “Na”. A hint for shiritori! (191–200)
Summer, here and nowOkaji Orika
This work features the captivating vocals of Orika Okaji, known for her crystal-clear “Soap Bubble Voice.” The lyrics, inspired by a fleeting scene on the way home, evoke sweet yet bittersweet memories of youth that many will relate to.
Gentle piano and strings blend with Okaji’s whispery voice to quietly paint the sentimental feelings of late summer.
Released in May 2025, the song graced an emotional scene as an insert track in Episode 5 of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX.
It’s the perfect number for a summer night, when you want to sit alone in a slightly cooled room and drift into quiet contemplation.
No matter what I do, it’s no good.Okazaki Taiiku
This is a song that captures those everyday “Oh no!” moments through Okazaki Taiiku’s characteristically humorous lens.
Set to a lively “Basin Techno” sound, it lays bare the protagonist’s feelings as they sway between ideals and reality.
It’s super relatable.
Released in January 2019 on the album ‘SAITAMA’ as a “wholehearted throwaway track.” Sing it as a self-deprecating bit at karaoke and you’re sure to get some laughs!
Rumors on the ShoreHirota Mieko
Let me introduce a classic that’s perfect for those summer evenings when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.
You can almost picture the poignant scene of the protagonist standing alone on the shore, thinking of someone they can’t meet.
Mieko Hirota’s exceptional vocals beautifully capture the song’s melancholic yet elegant world.
Released as a single in July 1967, this piece is also known as the first hit composed by Kyōhei Tsutsumi.
Spurred by this success, Hirota made her return to the Kōhaku Uta Gassen after two years.
Why not listen closely and let it take you back to the bittersweet memories of your youth?
River of TearsTanaka Aimi
TANAKA Aimi’s kayōkyoku “Namida no River” strongly features pop sensibilities.
While it incorporates elements of 80s Showa-era kayō, the overall vibe leans toward a ballad-style pop tune.
The vocal line isn’t particularly difficult, but there are sections focused on breathing, so breath control becomes important.
As she does, it’s best to aim for a slightly husky finish using a tightened chest voice.
There are also moments that use the hiccup technique, where the voice flips, so adjusting the key to make hiccups easier is also important.

NightmareNaisho no piasu
A dark and emotional piece that feels like peering into the abyss of the heart.
Featuring KAF and released in June 2025, this track comes from Naisho no Pierce, also known for “Proposal.” The themes of “sickness” and “bittersweet sorrow” blend beautifully with the richly shaded sound.
It’s perfect for nights when you want to forget the everyday and immerse yourself deeply in the world of music.
Be sure to check out the version sung by Yukimura as well!
nostalgic personSen Masao
Among Masao Sen’s songs, “Natsukashi no Hito” is renowned as a particularly mood-rich piece.
While the arrangement prominently features traditional enka elements, the vocals lean closer to Showa-era kayōkyoku and folk, resulting in a simple, streamlined vocal line.
The range is somewhat wide, but there are no difficult techniques involved, and the tempo is relaxed, making it easier to sing than it might sound.
If you use the hiccup technique, where the voice flips, you can get even closer to the feel of the original, so give it a try for reference.
Beside the TearsSen Masao
Masao Sen is known for his wide-ranging repertoire, but among his works, “Namida no Tonari” is especially beloved by many fans as a real outlier.
While it’s categorized as enka and the vocal lines are sung very much in an enka style, the song as a whole incorporates a Hawaiian music flavor.
As a result, it settles into a very relaxed tempo, with relatively few instances of kobushi (ornamental vocal inflections), which is a distinctive feature.
Consider adding it to your repertoire.
