It’s a striking love song that poignantly portrays parting from a loved one.

While holding tender feelings, it powerfully conveys the pain of not being able to be together through the energetic sound of punk rock.

Intertwining single-minded devotion with intense emotion, this piece reaches deep into the listener’s heart, singing of a love so strong that one could wish for “the world to end” if it meant being with the other person.

Released as a single in October 2018 by the indie label THE NINTH APOLLO, it was included the following year on the album Eternal Flower.

The song was also added to the setlist for the Heaven and Hell Tour, which began in February 2019, and was performed with heartfelt passion alongside its grand melody.

It’s a wonderful track from Harukamirai for those who have experienced heartbreak or separation, or for anyone who finds it hard to clearly express their feelings to someone important.

Airi Yamamoto, an idol from Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture, laid the foundations for her entertainment career from a young age at a local dance school.

After performing with a local idol group, she debuted in 2017 as the center of Love Cocchi, the second unit of Last Idol.

While initially focusing on J-pop and idol pop, she joined the “× Junbungaku Shoujo Kagekidan” in 2022, taking on a new form of expression that fuses musical theater and music.

In 2023, she held her first solo live performance and also appeared in the musical FATALISM ≠ Re:Another story.

As a member of Ma’Scar’Piece, her performances—blending music and theater into a distinctive style—are recommended not only for idol fans but also for those who love drama and musicals.

Wings of YouthŌe Yutaka

Oe Hiroshi’s melancholy-filled classic “Wings of Youth.” This piece is characterized by a powerful singing style that evokes Saburo Kitajima.

When you hear “powerful singing,” you might think of shouting—a technique that uses a raspy voice—but in this song the power comes purely from musical dynamics and phrasing, with little use of special techniques like shouts.

Even the kobushi (melodic ornaments) appear relatively infrequently for this type of song and are not very difficult, so even beginners to enka can sing it without trouble.

Noshi’s work, which portrays a bittersweet relationship with an older woman, is a captivating song told from the viewpoint of a junior who is drawn to yet bewildered by a senior exuding composure and allure.

Subtle nuances of complex emotions—sweet temptation and inner conflict, jealousy and possessiveness—are delicately expressed.

Released in August 2023, this track showcases the sharp insight and sensibility unique to Noshi, who is currently gaining attention especially among Gen Z.

It’s a perfect song for those who want to sing their heart out with emotion at karaoke.

Chikumagawa RiverItsuki Hiroshi

Singer Hiroshi Itsuki hails from Mihama, Mikata District, Fukui Prefecture.

His vocal prowess is such that actor Hiroki Matsukata, who studied singing alongside him, is said to have given up on becoming a singer because Itsuki was just too good.

Although he made his first debut in 1964, he didn’t score any hits, and under the name Hiroshi Itsuki he effectively debuted in 1971 with the smash hit “Yokohama Tasogare.” Spurred by the success of this song, he performed on NHK’s Kōhaku Uta Gassen, where he was often the final act, and he holds the all-time record for consecutive appearances.

While rooted in enka and mood kayō, he has pursued a flexible career, including collaborations with DA PUMP and releasing J-pop cover albums.

As of 2022, he continues to steadily release new songs and host the “Hiroshi Itsuki Theater” as its lead, making it impossible to take your eyes off his ongoing achievements.

Truly, he is a legend of the Japanese music scene who continues to define the times.
