ROCK ME BABYImawano Kiyoshirō
Opening his fifth solo album, GOD, released in 2005, is the breezy, R&R-flavored track ROCK ME BABY, just as its title suggests.
Even within its characteristically simple lyrics—so typical of Kiyoshiro, who never forgot the heart of a kid who loves rock ’n’ roll—there’s a subtle yet important message that showcases his impeccable sensibility.
It’s a perfect karaoke song with a catchy melody you can memorize after just a few listens, though you might find the pitch range a bit demanding.
Since this is the kind of song where the groove matters most, start by going all-in with the energy—try imitating Kiyoshiro’s style, including the final shout.
Labor CALLINGdohatsuten
Dohatsuten’s 2009 track “Labor CALLING” turns the grueling grind of working every day for a week into song.
Not only Monday through Friday—plenty of people work without a break on weekends too.
The lyrics strike a chord from start to finish for those folks.
You understand you have to do your best for your family and for consumers, but it makes you want to ask, “So where’s my reward?” Dohatsuten sings that feeling perfectly.
And within the song, there’s also a cheer that says, “Even so, let’s somehow keep going together!”
log maropeNisshoku Natsuko
This song, which starts with an up-tempo, aggressive piano phrase, is one of the tracks on the 2016 album “Gekirin Mania.” The vocals are just as powerful as the piano, letting you fully feel Nisshoku-san’s appeal.
I’ve heard the music video was filmed on the snowy plains of Hokkaido, which perfectly matches the lyrics that begin from a state of being pushed to the limit.
The lyrics revolve around the theme of a bold challenge from the edge of a cliff, and reading them will give you the courage to take a step forward when you’re feeling dissatisfied with your current situation.
an elderly coupleHoshino Gen
Despite being only about two minutes long, Old Couple evokes a sense of a world that stretches infinitely.
It’s a track included on Gen Hoshino’s first album, Baka no Uta.
The song follows a grandfather as he visits places filled with memories of his late wife.
Nowhere in the lyrics does it explain why he is making the rounds or what he is thinking.
Precisely because of that, listeners can expand their imaginations—thinking, “It must be like this”—and the charm lies in being able to interpret the story in their own way.

Expectations are high for him to transcend the boundaries of enka and make an impact in the broader music scene.
