[Mysterious Enka] A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Songs by Midori Oka [2026]

Although she showed talent in the field of folk music from a young age, Midori Oka made her debut as an idol in her teens, then—after a brief period of activity—made the unusual shift to becoming an enka singer.

It took time for her to truly break through, but a series of songs known as the “Mysterious Enka Trilogy,” beginning with Kiri no Kawa (composed by Tetsuya Gen) released in 2016, became hits, and she appeared on Kōhaku the following year.

In recent years, she has showcased her overwhelming vocal ability on the popular show Chidori no Oni Renchan, and her wide-ranging activities have earned her attention among younger generations as well.

This article compiles relatively easy, approachable songs for those who want to try singing Oka’s tracks at karaoke.
