RainingFukuyama Masaharu
He covered it on his 2015 album “Tamashii Riku,” released as Masaharu Fukuyama’s acoustic cover album.
I feel his sweet voice brings out a fresh, different sound in this song.
That’s the appeal of a man covering a song originally by a woman.
I hope great songs, regardless of gender, continue to be passed down like this.
Rainy bootsInabakumo
This is the 16th Vocaloid track by Inabakumori, a Vocaloid producer who excels at rock-centric compositions and has achieved Hall of Fame status with every work they’ve posted.
While grounded in a band sound, the effectively used synth phrases make this a track that sticks in your ears.
The guitar’s rhythmic cutting over the distinctive beat and the tight bassline put the coolness of the sound image front and center.
Its leaping, intricate melody creates tension and addictiveness, making it a rock tune you’ll want to replay again and again.

Lady GenerationShinohara Ryōko
Ryoko Shinohara’s sixth single, released on August 2, 1995.
Its sound unfolds as if a grand world is slowly opening, paired with vocals that exude a goddess-like aura.
The lyrics, which boldly carve a path through the times, make this a song that feels both courageous and beautiful.
LADYYonezu Kenshi
This song depicts small dramas found in everyday life.
Released in March 2023 as a digital-only single, it was also used as the theme song for Georgia, a Japan Coca-Cola brand, in a commercial.
Created by Kenshi Yonezu with the concept of taking a step outside the languor of daily life, the piece features a light, buoyant melody paired with profound lyrics.
It delicately expresses the tenderness within ordinary days and the desire for new stimulation, making it a track that resonates closely with listeners’ hearts.
It’s a great choice for karaoke if you want to lift your spirits.
RED OUTYonezu Kenshi
Kenshi Yonezu’s song “RED OUT” features striking lyrics that depict the absurdities of society and personal struggles.
Released digitally in August 2024, it is included on the album “LOST CORNER.” It was also selected for a Spotify brand campaign song.
The lyrical worldview, combined with the aggressive, urgent musicality, leaves a deep impression on listeners.
Since the vocal range isn’t very wide, it’s relatively easy to sing at karaoke.
Recommended for those grappling with society or life, and for anyone who wants to let their feelings out.
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.
