Let’s ONDO AgainHosokawa Takashi
Takashi Hosokawa’s unique masterpiece, “Let’s ONDO Again.” Thanks in part to its English title, it may seem like a trendy, Western-style song, but it firmly follows the foundations of enka.
That doesn’t mean it’s difficult—there are no highly demanding kobushi.
By “difficult kobushi,” we mean repeatedly raising and lowering pitch on the same vowel, but this song features few such ornaments, so even those who aren’t comfortable with complex kobushi can sing it well.
However, the melodic range is somewhat wide, so you’ll need to identify your optimal key and adjust accordingly.
Let’s go, Narashino!Narashino Kōkō Suisōgakubu
An original song from Narashino High School that has long been loved as a high school baseball cheer anthem.
Composed in 1975 by the band director at the time, the piece is characterized by its powerful sound known as “bibakuon” (beautiful explosive tone).
Its forceful rhythm—don don dodo-don—and flowing melody fire up listeners’ hearts.
The official Narashino City video on YouTube was uploaded in 2018 and surpassed one million views in 2020.
Performed during numerous remarkable runs, it’s known as a piece that can change the momentum of a baseball game.
It’s even featured in Power Pro, making it a track that can be enjoyed not only by baseball fans.
LemonRinu
The singer with distinctive breathy vocals, Riinu-kun, is performing this.
Rather than a flowing delivery, it’s a cover where you can hear careful nuance in every word and note.
The breathing comes through clearly, giving it a very sexy yet heartrending feel.
From the C-melody, it brings out both pop flair and a sense of tragic emotion, and the final push is sung with great power.
If it hooks you on the first listen, you’ll definitely have it on repeat.
