Songs with titles that start with “Na.” A hint for shiritori! (491–500)
Becomeamagumori
This song brilliantly portrays Kasane Teto’s emotions.
“Narena i,” produced by Amagumori, was released in October 2024.
It’s a work filled with self-loathing and loneliness, pouring out the feeling of “I can’t become human,” yet from beneath it all you can sense an irrepressible desire to “become.” The shift in voice from the SV version to the UTAU version is a masterful touch in the arrangement.
It’s a track I especially want people struggling with self-discovery to hear.
Summer Sky NostalgiaYukino Ito
A youth-filled Vocaloid song sung by Natsuiro Karin.
Crafted by Yukino Ito, “Natsuzora Nostalgia” was released in July 2023.
Its brisk melody and powerful sound leave a strong impression, as do the lyrics that exude a touch of wistfulness in contrast.
It portrays the journey of growing up while looking back on one’s past self, dreams, and promises.
The message of moving forward step by step really hits home.

Tears and a solitary drinkAoyama Shin
Portraying in poignant detail the feelings of someone who has lost a lover, this work is likely to become one of Arata Aoyama’s signature songs.
Its profound sadness and sense of loneliness are powerfully conveyed, with lyrics that tighten the listener’s chest and a wistful melody that resonates deeply.
Aoyama’s clear, translucent voice beautifully enhances this heartrending worldview, and the emotionally rich singing in the chorus is especially striking.
Although it’s a highly challenging piece that demands enka-specific vocal techniques—such as vibrato and nuanced dynamics—it also allows the singer to fully express their emotions.
When attempting it at karaoke, it’s key to relax and sing while visualizing the scenes depicted in the lyrics.
Nagasaki BluesAoe Mina
Mina Aoe captivated many with her distinctive husky voice and sultry, breathy vocal style.
She made her major debut in 1966 with “Kokotsu no Blues,” instantly joining the ranks of popular singers.
While grounded in enka and kayōkyoku, she crafted a unique style by incorporating jazz elements, producing hits such as “Isezakichō Blues” and “Nagasaki Blues.” In “Isezakichō Blues,” which won the 10th Japan Record Award for Vocal Performance and the 1st Japan Cable Radio Awards Star Prize, the sultry “breath” at the beginning became a hot topic and her signature.
Hailed as the “Queen of Blues,” Aoe’s songs are perfect not only for enka fans but also for lovers of Shōwa-era pop and anyone who wants to savor an adult, sensual allure.
Summer MemoriesTakagi Toshiko to Vooche Anjerika
“Natsu no Omoide” (Summer Memories) is a classic song that every Japanese person has heard at least once.
Its beautiful lyrics, which evoke the great outdoors of Oze, and its gentle melody are truly captivating.
Listening to this piece makes you feel as if you’re strolling through Oze, filling you with an indescribable sense of awe.
It became a major hit following an NHK radio broadcast in 1949 and has continued to be cherished ever since.
Please take your time and enjoy a leisurely moment as you bask in nostalgic memories.
