A journey of a thousand milesYamamoto Jōji

With the quintessential atmosphere of classic enka, “Senri no Michi mo,” powerfully yet tenderly sung by Joji Yamamoto, is a single released in 2009 that truly touches the heart.

The lyrics are a warm hymn to life—awkward yet sincere—seemingly reflecting Yamamoto himself, who is also known as a devoted husband.

Composed by Tetsuya Gen, it’s pure, straightforward enka with a simple structure and three verses, so anyone reasonably accustomed to singing enka should be able to handle it without trouble.

Its characteristically enka melody moves between very low and slightly higher notes, making it excellent practice material for beginners—so do give it a try.
