O-Shichi and the Night Cherry BlossomsSakamoto Fuyumi2rank/position
Fuyumi Sakamoto is a female enka singer who studied under the acclaimed enka vocalist Yuriko Futaba.
With a highly original musical style that incorporates a wide range of genres, she has gained popularity both within and beyond the enka scene.
Her song “Yozakura Oshichi,” released in 1994, features an unusually upbeat melody for enka at the time.
The vocal range spans from mid1F to hiD, which is typical for female vocals, but the BPM is 140, making it relatively fast, so it’s best to master the rhythm thoroughly before singing.
celebratory sakeSakamoto Fuyumi3rank/position
This gem of a song weaves feelings of celebration for a new chapter in life into its lyrics.
As a bright, festive enka number, it has been cherished for many years.
With a powerful yet warm voice, it gently sings of the wish for the couple’s happy future.
Released in April 1988 and awarded the Gold Prize at that year’s Japan Record Awards, this work has since been performed many times on the NHK New Year’s Eve music show as one of Fuyumi Sakamoto’s signature songs.
It’s highly recommended across generations as a celebratory song for important life moments—such as weddings or departure days.
Tipsy Full MoonSakamoto Fuyumi4rank/position
Fuyumi Sakamoto’s masterpiece “Tipsy Full Moon,” which gained popularity for its bewitching yet passionate melody.
The piece leans more toward kayōkyoku (Japanese popular song) than traditional enka, and the hallmark enka vocal ornament kobushi hardly appears.
The only instance is at the very end of the chorus, but even there it feels more like a slightly strong vibrato than a true kobushi, so there’s no need to clearly bend the pitch up and down.
Of course, vibrato is essential, so it’s more challenging than typical pop songs; however, for a song by an enka singer, it is exceptionally easy to sing.
Naniwa SpiritSakamoto Fuyumi5rank/position
It’s a powerful song that makes you want to call it the spirit of Osaka.
It’s Fuyumi Sakamoto’s first cheer song themed around Osaka, released in March 2025.
Selected as a recommended track by TBS Radio, the piece also drew attention for reuniting her with composer Chiaki Oka after roughly nine years.
The lyrics’ worldview—emphasizing the importance of moving forward without succumbing to adversity and portraying people who grow through perseverance—really hits home.
Sing it at karaoke, and you’re sure to lift your listeners’ spirits.
Men’s Fire FestivalSakamoto Fuyumi6rank/position
The piece “Otoko no Himatsuri” is notable for its warm, comforting melody.
While it follows the classic enka tradition, the vocal line is surprisingly simple, with no complex kobushi ornamentation.
In addition, there are few long tones and no parts that require belting, so it doesn’t demand a high level of foundational singing technique.
The only challenging section is the kobushi in the middle of the chorus, where the ornamentation navigates three pitch changes.
Aside from that, the song is low in difficulty, so enka beginners should definitely consider adding it to their repertoire.
Stand in the windSakamoto Fuyumi7rank/position
When you think of Fuyumi Sakamoto, catchy enka comes to mind, but this piece is composed with a particularly familiar, pop-leaning melody even among her works.
While the vocal range isn’t exactly narrow, there are no long sustained notes at the very top, so it’s not a song that demands a specific voice type.
In addition, there are relatively few kobushi (the characteristic enka vocal ornament), so as long as you follow the vocal line carefully, anyone should be able to sing it without trouble.
There is a brief falsetto part in the chorus; if that feels difficult, try lowering the key.
The overall range isn’t wide, so if you set the key properly, anyone should be able to sing it through.
