A life of paying it forwardKanishima Akio
A gem of a ballad that carries a heart of gratitude on a beautiful melody.
Released in March 2025 as Akio Kanishima’s third single, this anthem to life is imbued with his feelings of cherishing the kindness he has received throughout his life so far.
Shinichi Ishihara’s warm lyrics and Chiaki Oka’s soul-stirring melody blend exquisitely.
Another highlight of this work is the depth of a voice steeped in life experience.
It has a unique persuasiveness that could only come from Kanishima—who, despite his business success, made his debut as an enka singer at the age of 76, an extraordinary career path.
As long as I can drink some good booze, I’m happy.Nagayama Yōko
Born in the Reiwa era, this is a hymn to life for adult women everywhere, with a soothing, massage-for-the-heart effect! “As Long as the Booze Is Tasty” was released in 2023 as a single by Yoko Nagayama, and just as the title suggests, her cheerful delivery of lyrics that make drinkers want to slap their knees and say “Exactly!” is energizing—not only for women, but for anyone who listens.
The melody and Nagayama’s vocals are classic enka in style, so if you’ve mastered the basics of enka technique, you should be able to sing it with ease.
As an enka piece, it’s not particularly difficult, so beginners can use this song to practice techniques like kobushi (melodic ornamentation).
