Sanriku Great Catch Celebration SongSambongi Tomoko
Tomoko Sambongi, a native of Hirono in Iwate Prefecture, is active as an enka singer rooted in her local community.
She debuted in February 2019 with “Anata no Koizakura,” and has drawn attention with songs themed around the Sanriku sea and its fisheries.
Community-focused tracks such as “Sanriku Tairyo Iwai Uta” and “Santetsu no Fue” are beloved at local festivals and events.
Sambongi also serves as a tourism ambassador for Hirono, working hard to showcase the area’s appeal.
With her warm singing voice and approachable personality, she wins the hearts of fans.
While cherishing the region’s culture and natural character, she shares the charms of Sanriku with audiences nationwide through song.
Seeing her sing enka with her love for her hometown in her heart is sure to move you.
Evening Horn of SadoOka Midori
For Midori Oka, “Sado no Yubue” is an epoch-making song in her career, the one that secured her first appearance on the NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and a signature piece representing her so-called “mysterious enka” style.
Her intensely gripping vocal delivery conveys a piercing yearning while also exuding a distinctly enigmatic aura—truly striking, isn’t it? As one of her hallmark songs, it’s hugely popular in karaoke, but of course, singing it as masterfully as Oka-san does is no easy feat.
That said, the beautiful melody isn’t overly complex, so try surrendering yourself to the drama of the song as you sing.
In the chorus, be especially mindful of your breathing for the high notes and long tones, and focus on repeatedly practicing the sections that climb back up from the low range to the high notes.
The Makioka SistersItsuki Hiroshi
Set against the wintry scenery of a snow country, this song portrays a fleeting love.
Hiroshi Itsuki’s warm, resonant low voice beautifully conveys the world of the heartrending lyrics.
Released in September 1983, it peaked at No.
9 on the Oricon chart and stayed on the charts for 33 weeks, becoming one of Itsuki’s signature songs.
Composed mainly in the low to mid range, it’s a great choice even for those who find high notes challenging.
When the winter cold feels like it might freeze your heart, why not sing this song and regain a little warmth within?
Satsuma WomanKitajima Saburō
It’s a masterpiece that represents Saburo “Sub-chan” Kitajima’s Women Series, singing of a parting that neglects duty and of deep sorrow.
Released in 1968, this song made a vivid impact on the enka world and cemented its status after being performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
With lyrics that mention place names like Tenmonkan Street, Sakurajima, and Kinko Bay, it beautifully captures Kagoshima’s scenery and the feelings of its people.
Overall, the pitch sits on the lower side, featuring a melody centered around robust low notes to the midrange.
Even those who struggle with high notes will find it relatively easy to sing, and it’s recommended for anyone who wants to express Kitajima’s unique brand of “masculinity.” It’s perfect not only for enka lovers, but also for those who want to deliver a cool, mature vocal at karaoke.
homesickness for one’s hometown; nostalgic longing to return to one’s rural rootsWada Seiji
Enka singer Seiji Wada, who hails from Koriyama City in Fukushima Prefecture, spent 11 years training as a disciple of Saburo Kitajima before making his second debut in 1999 with “Ueno-hatsu.” Centering his activities on enka, Wada won the New Artist Award at both the 32nd All Japan Cable Broadcasting Awards and the 41st Japan Record Awards for his debut song.
His powerful, emotionally rich voice continues to captivate many fans.
In 2012, he became independent and established his own agency, actively expanding his activities.
In recent years, he also launched a YouTube channel, continuing to take on new challenges.
Wada’s vocals are recommended not only for enka enthusiasts but for anyone seeking songs that resonate with the heart.
Like cherry blossomsSakamoto Fuyumi
With its warm, lively melody and lyrics, “Sakura no Gotoku” is a fan favorite.
Released to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their debut, the single is crafted less as a showcase of virtuosity and more as an approachable enka number.
The kobushi (melodic ornamentation) is relatively easy, it’s rare to repeatedly move the pitch up and down on the same vowel, and there aren’t many particularly forceful sections.
However, there is a shout-like, raspy vocal delivery at the end of the chorus, so that part requires caution.
