Sunset BossŌe Yutaka

Speaking of Hiroshi Oe, his songs are striking for their sense of melancholy and charm.

Among those works, the one I especially recommend is Sunset Boss.

Throughout the piece, the vocal range is kept narrow, and there are a fair number of rests.

In addition, the kobushi (ornamental vocal turns) are very easy, with no passages requiring complex pitch movements.

If you have a certain level of enka singing skill, you should be able to handle it without any trouble.

Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
