Kanaru Okanaru—whose blues-tinged kayōkyoku, tinged with nostalgia and melancholy, resonates deeply— is an enka singer from Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture.

She moved to Tokyo to pursue a singing career and honed her skills as an apprentice under composer Izumi Mori.

Branded with the catchphrase “Queen of the Blues,” she made her major debut in February 2017 with Akai Suzume no Blues (Red Sparrow Blues).

Since then, she has also performed songs such as Fukushima no Onna (Woman of Fukushima), bearing the name of her hometown.

Many listeners were surely captivated by her assured vocal prowess, evidenced by her victory on Chiba TV’s Karaoke Taisho 21 in 2016, before her debut.

Her devotion to her roots—such as establishing a fan club in her hometown of Fukushima—is also part of her appeal.

She has a voice that fans of enka and kayōkyoku, as well as those who love the bittersweet melodies of the blues, will definitely want to hear.

TOKYO SNOWSakurazaka46

A winter ballad by Sakurazaka46 that overlays the fleeting snowfall in Tokyo with an unrequited love.

It’s included on the standard edition of the single “I want tomorrow to come,” released in October 2024.

Opening with a poetry reading by Shizuki Yamashita, the song expresses a contradictory longing—wishing the snow would settle even while knowing it won’t—through a serene, piano-centered sound.

The feelings that melt away before they can be put into words, and the aching tenderness that still compels a wish, press close to the heart.

It’s a song that gently keeps you company on a night of quietly falling snow, as you think of the one you love from afar.

To SearchBUCK-TICK

BUCK-TICK’s first single, released to the world in October 1986 on an indie label.

Unlike the later, polished gothic image, this is sharp, rough-hewn punk rock.

The lyrics hint at scheming and leave interpretation to the listener, creating a distinctly mysterious atmosphere.

It reached No.

6 on the indie singles chart and was later included as the B-side to their major-label single “Just One More Kiss.” This is a track you’ll want to hear if you want to experience the raw, primordial impulse at the band’s core.

The lyrics express the message that a selfless willingness to do everything for the other person is what truly means “being together.” Its warm affection is truly moving.

It’s a track that stays close to you in those moments when your heart is filled to the brim with tenderness.
