Songs with titles starting with 'O' [Great for Karaoke & Shiritori!] (491–500)
Full of memoriesH₂O
A classic by H2O that stirs sweet, bittersweet memories, like flipping through an album filled with youthful moments.
The innocent smiles captured in photos, the glimmering memories like sun-dappled light, and a beautiful melody line that gently embraces the dreamy, Cinderella-like feelings of girlhood make this a memorable song.
Released in March 1983 and used as the ending theme for the anime Miyuki, it reached No.
6 on the Oricon Singles Chart.
Since then, it has been covered by numerous artists and cherished in school music textbooks and as a choral piece.
It’s a song that quietly speaks to the importance of looking back on memories while accepting your own growth.
One you’ll want to hum with friends, wrapped in a sense of nostalgia.
Osaka-Kansai Expo OndoMineji Hiroshi
This song has been drawing attention as a cheer anthem to boost excitement for the Osaka-Kansai Expo.
The lively ondō sung by Hiroshi Mineji lifts anticipation for the Expo.
Its friendly Kansai-dialect lyrics carry hopes for the future.
Released as a single CD in February 2020, it also includes a karaoke version.
Although opportunities to perform it decreased for a time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has since regained attention.
As we head toward the 2025 event, it’s expected to be featured at local festivals and Expo-related events.
It’s a recommended track not only for those interested in the Expo, but also for anyone who wants to experience Kansai culture.
Isn’t it a man?kawanaka miyuki
While Miyuki Kawanaka’s alluring enka is highly acclaimed, her “men’s songs” are also praised.
Among the many men’s songs she has released, the one I especially recommend is Otoko Ja Nai Ka (“Aren’t You a Man”).
As the bold title suggests, this piece is characterized by a very powerful vocal delivery.
Despite its strength, it doesn’t require the delicate, intricate kobushi (melismatic turns), so you can sing it boldly.
If you want to sound more polished, try raising the key to the point where your voice slightly flips when you execute the kobushi.
