The lead track Toridori Yumemidori from Midori Oka’s 20th anniversary album JOURNEY is a unique song—an upbeat, festival-style kayō techno number featuring none other than DJ KOO.

It’s interesting how the up-tempo dance beat meshes surprisingly well with the abundant traditional Japanese flavors like shamisen and shinobue.

The vocals are quite rapid-fire, but once you memorize the lyrics, it’s the kind of song you can power through by riding the rhythm—perfect for karaoke.

Don’t overthink it; if possible, sing it with a partner playing DJ KOO’s role—you’re sure to have a great time!

Please listen to this gem of a ballad that stays close to those in love and offers a warm sense of hope.

Fight-RyanseNakajima Miyuki

I take my hat off to the clever wordplay of “Tōryanse” turned into “Tōryanse (battle)”! In fact, this song, “Tōryanse,” was originally provided as a single released in 2008 by actress Yoko Kuga under the name YOKO, and later Miyuki Nakajima herself re-recorded it as a self-cover and released it anew.

It’s a song that sits somewhere between kayōkyoku and enka, and Nakajima delivers it with plenty of theatrical flair.

The pitch is relatively low—low enough for men to sing—and the range isn’t extremely wide, so overall it seems quite singable.

That said, simply hitting the notes won’t capture the song’s atmosphere; don’t be shy—sing it with the gusto of fully becoming Nakajima herself.
