A vitamin voice that brings comfort and energy! Ranking of Hiroshi Miyama’s most popular songs

Enka singer Hiroshi Miyama, who began performing kendama as a concert sideshow, was appointed a “Kendama Ambassador” by the Japan Kendama Association thanks to that connection.

In 2007, before his debut, he won the runner-up prize at the Japan Crown 45th Anniversary Newcomer Audition, and his debut single was certified Gold, earning strong support from enka fans for his vocals.

He’s also well known for the 69th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, where he sang while attempting kendama with 124 participants, earning a Guinness World Record.

This time, we’re introducing a ranking of Hiroshi Miyama’s most popular songs!

Hiroshi Miyama, known for his warm “vitamin voice” and beloved in households as the kendama enka singer, delivers a rock-enka number in this work released in January 2026, singing while playing the drums.

I hear he carried around an electronic drum kit during production to practice extensively.

His performance, powerfully expressing the spirit of the Japanese man, is truly breathtaking.

It’s a highly recommended song for anyone who needs a push forward.

This is a song that captures the deeply moving spirit of autumn in Japan.

Hiroshi Miyama’s warm voice gently paints a nostalgic portrait of an autumn countryside.

Included on the album “Kokoro no Uta 2: Hiroshi Miyama Sings Lyric Songs,” it was released in September 2022.

As a cover of a traditional Japanese lyric song, this track showcases Miyama’s wide musical range.

His singing, inspired by the nature of his hometown in Kochi Prefecture, resonates quietly in the listener’s heart.

It’s perfect for a relaxed moment by the window at autumn dusk.

When it comes to a classic song that portrays the harsh winter scenery of Echigo and the feelings of a woman enduring it, this is the one.

Released as a single by Sachiko Kobayashi in 1987, it’s a staple of enka, known for lyrics by Tetsurō Hoshino and composition by Minoru Endō.

This piece was covered by Hiroshi Miyama, an enka singer from Kōchi Prefecture, and included as the closing track on his album “Uaitsugu! Nihon no Ryūkōka Part 5,” released in June 2024.

Miyama’s warm “vitamin voice” vividly conveys the strength and beauty of a red flower that bravely blooms in the snow.

It’s a quintessentially Japanese number you’ll want to savor in February’s lingering cold, warming up under the kotatsu.
