My Father’s Longest Daysadamasashi
Masashi Sada is a singer-songwriter who has left many masterpieces with his uniquely narrative lyrics.
Among his works, “Oyaji no Ichiban Nagai Hi” (“A Father’s Longest Day”) is considered one of his finest, depicting a father’s warm feelings for his daughter as she gets married.
Although the song is moving, the vocal line is surprisingly restrained, with no sections that demand complex melodic leaps.
The range is also relatively narrow, so why not consider adding it to your repertoire?
Green Que Sera SeraOka Midori
It’s a fun, upbeat Reiwa-era rhythm kayō masterpiece that makes any Japanese person want to clap along and start dancing! “Midori no Que Sera Sera” is a song released by Midori Oka in 2021, and as the title suggests, you can sing it comfortably with a carefree “que sera sera—whatever will be, will be” feeling.
The instantly catchy chorus sticks after one listen, and if everyone in your karaoke group sings it together, it’ll definitely liven up the room.
The signature enka vocal flourishes—like heavy kobushi and wide vibrato—are kept modest, and the more natural delivery makes it approachable even for those who feel unsure about singing traditional enka.
First and foremost, have fun and sing along to the cheerful rhythm!

A song sung by a 16-year-old girl, whose pure feelings come through straight and clear.

It was released in 1993 as Yoko Nagayama’s re-debut single after transitioning from idol singer to enka artist.
The song was used as the theme for the MBS/TBS drama series “Inochi no Tabiji,” and it became Nagayama’s biggest hit.
Thanks to the success of this song, she achieved her long-cherished dream of making her first appearance at the 44th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.

A heartrending love ballad released in November 1982 that delicately portrays the feelings of a girl inexperienced in romance.
Within its gently enveloping, warm melody, the bashfulness and bittersweet longing of a girl in love are woven.
The song earned Ms.
Nakamori her first-ever No.
1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and is regarded as one of her signature works.
Since June 2024, it has also been used as the departure melody at Seibu Ikebukuro Line’s Kiyose Station, continuing to be cherished across generations.
With its relaxed tempo and tender melodic line, this piece is also an easy, soothing choice to sing at karaoke.

Sailor Suit and Machine GunYakushimaru Hiroko
This was Hiroko Yakushimaru’s debut single and the theme song for the film of the same name, in which she also starred.
There’s also a different song with the same title, Yume no Tochū, performed by its composer, Takao Kisugi.
It was released in November 1981.
If you’re in your 60s now, many of you probably saw the movie when it first came out.
Yakushimaru’s vocals here are, for better or worse, very “model-student-like,” and even listeners who aren’t confident singers may find it feels quite easy to sing.
If you sing it too breezily, though, there’s a risk it can come off a bit flat, so pay attention to contrast and dynamics in the chorus.
As mentioned, the song itself isn’t particularly difficult, so give it a try!
