paper craneOka Midori
Released in February 2019, “Kami no Tsuru” (Paper Crane) is a memorable single for Midori Oka, as it marked her first entry into the top 20 of the Oricon charts.
While the melody is bright, it carries a certain poignancy and wistfulness—a classic enka sound that resonates with the Japanese heart.
That said, the typical enka-style vocal ornaments like strong kobushi and intense vibrato are relatively restrained here.
If you focus on singing gently and sincerely, as Oka does, it’s quite approachable even for beginners to enka.
Interestingly, the lower notes can be more challenging than the high ones, so I recommend practicing with clear enunciation and working to apply solid vibrato on the low passages.
Cotton HandkerchiefŌta Hiromi
Let me introduce a heartwarming song that brings back nostalgic memories.
It tells a poignant story of a long-distance romance between a man setting off from the countryside to the big city and a woman who stays in their hometown.
The lyrics alternate between the man’s and the woman’s perspectives—a groundbreaking technique for its time.
Released in 1975, it became a signature song for Hiromi Ohta, who made her first appearance at the 26th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen that same year.
The woman’s longing for an unchanging heart rather than material gifts is especially memorable.
How about humming along with older listeners and sharing stories of youthful days? You’re sure to have a wonderful time.
Spring has come.Monbushō shōka
Set to the gentle melody of a Ministry of Education song, this piece depicts the calm arrival of spring.
The scene of spring returning to the mountains, villages, and fields spreads through a warm, tender vocal line.
Its tranquil tune vividly conveys the imagery of spring among Japan’s four seasons, imbued with a love for nature and the changing times of year.
Included in 1910 for the third grade of the “Elementary School Songs,” it was created by the renowned duo Tatsuyuki Takano and Teiichi Okano.
Featured in many music textbooks and song collections, it has often been performed at entrance ceremonies and spring events.
This work soothes the heart, making it a piece to enjoy slowly by a window in the warm sunlight.
It is a wonderful song for sharing the joy of spring’s arrival together with older adults.
Spring StreamMonbushō shōka
Accompanied by the gentle murmur of water, this classic song unfolds a simple, tender scene before your eyes.
Among the Ministry of Education’s school songs, its melodic line is especially beautiful, and it is said that Tatsuyuki Takano wrote the lyrics infused with memories of his home in Nagano Prefecture.
The delicate flowers blooming along the shore and the fish swimming in the brook are depicted as if in a painting, superbly expressing the quintessential spring landscape of Japan.
Since its inclusion in 1912 in “Elementary School Songs for the Fourth Grade,” it has been sung across generations.
It is a recommended piece for those who wish to spend a heartwarming moment—both as a song of memories and as a tune that evokes the nostalgic scenery of spring.
Tokyo Boogie-WoogieKasaogi Shizuko
This classic song by Shizuko Kasagi, a major influence on the Showa-era music scene, stands as a landmark of Japanese pop that brought brightness and vitality to postwar Japan.
Set to the buoyant rhythm of boogie-woogie, it paints a heart-thumping world filled with the joy and hope of youth.
Released by Nippon Columbia in January 1948, it became a record-breaking hit, selling 270,000 copies in its first year.
Its inclusion in the film Drunken Angel helped it win affection across a wide audience.
Etched in people’s hearts alongside memories of the Showa period, this work has the power to evoke nostalgic recollections.
It’s likely to be a treasured song to hum together with older listeners, sharing the happy memories of those days.
