[Enka 7th Generation] A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Songs by Yuto Tatsumi [2026] (1–10)
Stardust Serenadetatsumi yūto
Released as a single in 2023, Hoshikuzu Serenade likely surprised many listeners at the time, especially since the previous release, Shinki Itten, was a classic enka number.
Tatsumi’s captivating vocals bring out the elegance of the production and the romance of the melody to the fullest, revealing another side of him as a gifted enka singer.
With a straightforward, easy-to-remember melodic line that doesn’t swing wildly in range, it’s a song anyone—young or old, male or female—can sing comfortably.
homesicknesstatsumi yūto
Released in 2021 as a double A-side with Tatsumi Yuto’s fourth single, “Sasowarete Eden,” this song, “Bokyo,” comes from an artist who’s bringing a fresh breeze to the enka world as part of the seventh generation.
It’s a classic enka piece where Tatsumi’s tender, heartfelt vocals convey deep feelings for one’s hometown and family, moving listeners to the core.
While he firmly incorporates enka-specific techniques like kobushi and vibrato, his clean, unornamented delivery and the accessible melody make it approachable even for beginners to the genre.
The overall pitch is on the lower side, so it’s also recommended for those who struggle with high notes.
Inarimachi Love Songtatsumi yūto
For Yuto Tatsumi, the coupling track “Inaricho Koiuta” from his second single “Otoko no Junjo” is a classic, heartwarming enka themed around “Inaricho,” which lies between the Ueno and Asakusa areas, just as the title suggests.
It has the feel of quintessential enka, so those accustomed to singing enka should handle it with ease.
Even beginners will likely find it approachable, as signature enka techniques like kobushi and vibrato aren’t overly emphasized.
The pitch range is on the lower side, making it a welcome choice for those who struggle with high notes.
Conversely, if low notes are difficult for you, try to focus on clearly enunciating the lyrics as you sing.

Lured to Edentatsumi yūto
This is a signature song that represents Yuto Tatsumi’s “kayōkyoku” side, as he masterfully sings both enka and kayōkyoku.
It’s a classic that lets you fully enjoy a different facet of him from his enka singer persona—his sultry, sweet vocals.
Released in 2021, his fourth single, “Sasowarete Eden,” follows the pop-to-kayōkyoku direction of its predecessor, “Sentimental Heart,” and fully capitalizes on Tatsumi’s “prince” character.
The compatibility of kayōkyoku with Latin-flavored arrangements has been proven since the Showa era, and if you’re used to that style, you’ll likely find it very easy to sing.
Conversely, those unfamiliar with it might feel a bit puzzled by the rhythm of the melodic lines, but if you listen to the original over and over and learn it, it’s not that difficult—so definitely give it a try!
Sentimental Hearttatsumi yūto
Yuto Tatsumi, who has released classic enka centered on the theme of “junjo” (pure-heartedness) with songs like “Shitamachi Junjo” and “Otoko no Junjo,” made a striking image change and took on a kayokyoku direction with this memorable track, “Sentimental Heart.” Released in 2020 as his third single, this kayokyoku-to-pop number feels nostalgic to the Showa generation, while coming across as fresh to listeners of Tatsumi’s own generation and younger—bringing out a new facet of his appeal.
True to kayokyoku style, the melody is catchy and set in a relatively low key, making it easy to sing; however, the overall range is quite wide, so take care not to miss pitches—especially in the chorus, where the low and high notes shift back and forth in quick succession.
Lamp of the hearttatsumi yūto
This song, Kokoro no Lamp, was released as the coupling track to the single Hoshikuzu Serenade, which came out in 2023.
A notable feature of Hoshikuzu Serenade is that all the songs, including the coupling track, are love songs—so of course Kokoro no Lamp is a love song as well.
It has the vibe of a medium-tempo pop ballad highlighted by elegant strings, and Tadatsumi’s careful, gentle yet powerful vocals shine—plus the lyrics are excellent, so be sure to check them out.
Since it doesn’t employ enka-style techniques, those who usually sing mainly J-pop should be able to perform it without difficulty.
A fresh starttatsumi yūto
While Yuto Tatsumi masterfully handles pop kayōkyoku-style songs as well, if you prefer the classic enka he’s known for, we recommend “Shinki Itten.” Released in 2023 as his sixth single, it’s a traditional enka number that showcases Tatsumi’s strengths as a skilled enka singer.
It incorporates quintessential enka techniques like kobushi (melodic turns) and vibrato throughout, which may feel a bit challenging for absolute beginners.
That said, its structure is relatively simple for enka, and if you’re somewhat accustomed to singing enka, the difficulty is actually on the lower side.
For newcomers, this song is also a great piece to practice enka vocal techniques.
