Let me stay for the night.Kobayashi Sachiko
It’s a classic Showa-era kayokyoku that has an enka flavor, with striking rock-style guitar solos and riffs.
“Hitoban Tometene,” released by Sachiko Kobayashi in 1985, was composed by Katsuhiko Miki, who also worked on one of Kobayashi’s signature songs, “Moshikashite.” The overall key is on the lower side, and it’s the kind of song that expresses a sultry melody through the appeal of the low register, so it’s perfect for those who struggle with high notes.
The enka-style kobushi (ornamental turns) and vibrato are kept to a minimum, making it a great piece for beginners to enka to try!
TouchIwasaki Yoshimi
A gem of a masterpiece that beautifully captures the bittersweetness of youthful love.
Told from the perspective of a female protagonist, its lyrical story vividly conveys the feelings of a girl in love.
Yoshimi Iwasaki’s clear, luminous vocals make the emotions of pure love all the more enchanting.
Released in March 1985, the song achieved remarkable success as the theme for the anime Touch, reaching No.
12 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and No.
39 on the Year-End Ranking.
With its gentle melody and relaxed tempo, it’s a song that’s easy to sing calmly.
Share it at karaoke with close friends, and it’s sure to become a wonderful memory.
Two-person sakekawanaka miyuki
Miyuki Kawanaka’s classic “Futari Sake” is distinguished by its warm, memorable melody.
It’s an orthodox enka piece imbued with a sense of melancholy.
As with typical enka, the challenging kobushi ornament appears multiple times; however, roughly a third of these are not pitch-bending turns so much as kobushi that apply vibrato.
Because this type of kobushi is far easier than the regular kind, the song can definitely be considered an easy one.
Do add it to your repertoire.

A signature song by Kenichi Mikawa that portrays the strength and poignancy of a passionate woman who lives for love.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Chart and is regarded as one of her signature works.
