Aya Shimazu is known for having many songs that incorporate kayōkyoku and pop.

Those songs are certainly easy to sing, but I think many people also want to sing solid, traditional enka.

That’s why I recommend Aun no Hana.

This piece prominently features kobushi (the characteristic enka vocal ornament), giving it a strong enka flavor.

However, the kobushi sections are relatively manageable, so the overall difficulty isn’t very high.

For those who struggle with kobushi that require frequent pitch bends up and down, this is a very singable song.

"Guts Boat" — A performance by AYA Shimazu
Guts ShipShimazu Aya

This work, sung by the solitary enka singer Aya Shimazu, is set on the northern seas.

The lyrics, depicting a protagonist heading toward the Kuril waters where his father rests, powerfully express family love and a man’s way of life.

Released in October 1997, the song has been included in many best-of albums and is known as one of Shimazu’s signature pieces.

For example, it appears in the 2007 release “Aya Shimazu Complete Collection” and the 2022 “BEST & BEST Aya Shimazu Complete Song Collection.” Vividly portraying fishermen who live by the northern sea, it lets you fully savor the appeal of enka set on boats and in port towns.

It’s a recommended piece for those who value bonds with family and comrades.
