Songs with titles starting with “Yo” (471–480)
Cheerful Light CavalryHisaishi Joe
Here’s a perfect song for anyone looking for something uplifting.
A “light cavalry” refers to soldiers used for surprise attacks and disruption, relying on speed and minimal equipment.
You can feel that same lightness in the sprightly melody! The rhythm itself is mid-tempo, but because the notes are packed in tightly, it sounds very fast—highly recommended.
the world of the deadHisaishi Joe
This powerful, intense piece is the track that played during the scene where the Deer God has its head severed and goes on a rampage.
Watching a sacred being like the Deer God go berserk and destroy nature with its own hands filled me with a sense of immediacy and futility that’s hard to put into words.
It’s a magnificent masterpiece that amplifies the emotions of that scene—turning them more violent and more despairing, pushing the tension to a harrowing crescendo.
night skyItsuki Hiroshi
Hiroshi Itsuki is a giant in the enka world.
Even with his deliberately constricted singing style, the solid depth of his voice is truly overwhelming.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is Yozora (Night Sky).
While it has a somewhat wide vocal range, it features relatively few kobushi (ornamental turns) for an enka piece, making it very approachable for those who struggle with them.
If the high notes are too difficult, try lowering the key and give it a shot.
Yoshiwara LamentAsa feat. Dasoku
Dasoku, known for his irresistibly seductive, handsome voice.
While Yoshiwara Lament is a song that typically feels more natural when sung by a woman, Dasoku’s voice carries such sensuality that even when he sings Yoshiwara Lament, it remains smooth and evocative, without the slightest sense of incongruity.
The Yokan coupleWada Akiko Hamada Masatoshi
Akiko Wada, one of Japan’s most iconic singers.
Her collaboration with Masatoshi Hamada of the comedy duo Downtown is the song “Yokan Fūfu” (“The Yokan Couple”).
The track was written and composed by Hitoshi Matsumoto, and it pairs a mellow, kayōkyoku-style sound with unabashedly risqué lyrics.
Even among dirty jokes, it leans a bit more adult.
Since it’s a duet, you’ll want to find a partner before tackling it at karaoke.
Whether you can pull off the spoken-line sections will likely be the key.
Let me get drunk—just for tonight.Jōnouchi Sanae
It was released in 1993 as Sanae Jounouchi’s eighth single.
The original song was included as the 10th track on Chisato Moritaka’s sixth album, “ROCK ALIVE,” released in 1992.
On cable radio, it became a smash hit through long-running requests spanning roughly two years into the following year.
The song won the Excellence Award for Cable Music at the 27th Japan Cable Awards.
45℃Shimano Momoe
This is a soothing song by Momoe Shimano, an artist whose passionate vocal approach and stylish track create a sense of comfort with impeccable taste.
The refined melody line—perfect for listening to on Tanabata—elevates the piece into a celebration of pure love.
