Shōmikigen Girlmunina

Don’t scold me.Tanaka Aimi
A rare work for Aimi Tanaka that’s arranged in a classic enka style, “Shikara-naide.” The melody feels like orthodox enka from the ’60s–’70s, but in fact the song contains no difficult kobushi (melismatic ornamentation) at all.
The basics stick to a single note, with at most a two-note change, and even those changes don’t move at the brisk speed typical of folk songs.
As an enka number, it’s undoubtedly among the easiest to sing.
The vocal range is fairly narrow as well, but since high notes appear several times on the “i” vowel, be careful not to let your tone become too thin.
