There are lots of things we’ve seen before but don’t know the official names of, right? For example, that thing packaged with butter and jam that’s served with bread.

Sentimental Blues BoyŌki Tōru

The title track of Toru Oki’s new album Sentimental Blues Boy, his first new release in 15 years.

It commemorates the 55th anniversary of his musical career as a pioneer in the blues world.

Marked by soulful instrumentation and a smoky vocal, the song showcases Oki’s rich sensibility.

While honoring blues traditions, the work adds fresh elements, making it a must-listen for blues enthusiasts.

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.

Perpetual change—and that’s okay.Tendō Yoshimi

Yoshimi Tendo’s signature song “Shōshō Ruten Sore de Ii,” beloved for its warm melody.

Although it’s categorized as enka, it contains very few kobushi (ornamental scoops), so you won’t encounter phrases with rapid, repeated pitch rises and falls throughout the piece.

However, be aware that a long falsetto note appears toward the end of the chorus.

If falsetto feels difficult, try one of two approaches: lower the key and sing it in chest voice, or raise the key to make the falsetto easier to produce.
