Yagiri no Watashi (Yagiri Ferry)Hosokawa Takashi
Known for his natural singing voice and outstanding vocal prowess, Takashi Hosokawa’s song is his 19th single, released in February 1983.
Set against the backdrop of “Yagiri no Watashi,” a ferry crossing dating back to the Edo period, the song features a wistful melody and evocative lyrics that portray the emotions of a couple eloping.
It topped the Oricon Weekly Chart for three consecutive weeks and won the 25th Japan Record Award.
It also gained major attention as an insert song in the TBS drama “You’re Not the Only One Who’s Lonely.” Hosokawa’s powerful vocals convey the couple’s strong bond and determination, leaving a deep impression on listeners.
With total sales of 1.025 million copies, this masterpiece is a must-listen for anyone standing at a crossroads in life.
If I’m wrapped in kindnessayaka
While embracing Ayaka’s signature powerful, soulful qualities, the song is sung without dispelling the gentle atmosphere of “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumareta Nara,” faithfully preserving the vibe at the core of the piece.
Each artist’s distinct flavor comes through, and the beauty lies in how the strengths born from a completely different vocal tone and singing style than Yumi Arai’s shine through.
Yanagase BluesMikawa Ken’ichi
This song has been cherished for many years as a classic from the Showa era.
Its gentle vocals and wistful melody resonate deeply with listeners.
Since its release in April 1966, it became a massive hit, selling over 1.2 million copies, and is known as one of Kenichi Mikawa’s signature songs.
In 1967, a film of the same title was produced, starring Tatsuo Umemiya, and the song was used within the film.
Singing it while picturing the nightlife of an entertainment district may enhance the atmosphere.
It is characterized by being sung in a generally low register, and the melody is calm and unhurried, so give it a try.
Yanase BluesMikawa Ken’ichi
Mr.
Mikawa was a pioneer of regional-themed songs.
He even came before Mina Aoe.
Today, when you think of enka singers who perform local-themed songs, Kaori Mizumori comes to mind, but learning this made me realize that songs celebrating regional charms already existed back then.
While Mr.
Mikawa is inevitably best known for ‘Sasori-za no Onna’ (Woman Under the Sign of Scorpio), the more I’ve listened over the years, the more I feel that this song is truly the ultimate showcase of his rich low voice.

I messed up!!busai-ku
Rather than a fight song, Busaiku’s “Yatchatta!!” is more like a track that lets you vent your daily frustrations and pent-up stress all at once.
It’s catchy right from the start and stays energetic through to the end—a fun song you can listen to in one go.
Released in 2015 as Busaiku’s third single and produced by Masahiro Nakai, the song voices complaints about your boss at work and that urge to talk back even when you’re not in a position to pick a fight—feelings we all have, right? It speaks up for those emotions in a refreshing, satisfying way.
I messed up.hannya
The legendary rapper, Hannya.
There’s no rapper with more vibes than him, right? Many of you probably know him as the final boss on Freestyle Dungeon.
Hannya’s works can be broadly divided into two types: one that prioritizes catchiness and another that prioritizes entertainment.
This track, “Yacchatta” (“I Messed Up”), falls into the entertainment-focused category, and it stands out for its insanely funny lyrics.
It’s a comedic style of rap, but the message runs deep—definitely give it a listen!
If I’m wrapped in kindnessAshida Mana
It’s a cover song by the popular child actress Mana Ashida! It’s included on the album “Happy Smile!” which she released when she was seven.
The track is bursting with energy and full of childlike charm.
The album also features other cover songs, all of which are soothing with her sparkling vocals.
