chance encounterHosokawa Takashi
Takashi Hosokawa’s classic “Yukizuri” is notable for its wistful melody.
Around the time he released this song, Hosokawa was focusing on mellow, ballad-like enka, and this track is no exception, featuring a gentle, sweet vocal line.
Thanks to its relaxed tempo, there are some fairly long sustained notes, but because the song doesn’t demand great vocal power, its overall difficulty is on the lower side.
The absence of intricate kobushi (ornamental vocal turns) also makes it easier to sing.
Dream-Drunk PersonHosokawa Takashi
In recent years, Takashi Hosokawa has not only been releasing enka songs with formidable difficulty, but also simple, catchy tracks that the general public can enjoy.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is Yumesui-bito.
While it’s a bona fide enka number with a fair amount of kobushi ornamentation, the chorus is shaped into a melody that leans quite close to pop.
The kobushi themselves aren’t particularly difficult, so if you’re accustomed to singing enka, you should be able to handle it without any trouble.
Dreams, Nightmares, and FantasyRyokushokushakai
Ryokuoushoku Shakai is a four-piece pop-rock band that churns out hit songs with powerful vocals and a colorful pop sensibility.
“Yume to Akumu to Fantasy,” included on their 8th single “Hana ni Natte,” was specially written as a commemorative song for ZIP-FM’s 30th anniversary.
The flashy tapped guitar solo further heightens the track’s excitement, and the piano solo is outstanding as well, making this a pop tune you’ll want to listen to not only for the vocals but also for the ensemble.
wake from a dreamtsumigusa
It’s a Vocaloid track that, once you hear it, becomes addictive—you can’t help but listen even though it’s scary.
Created by the Vocaloid producer Zaimokusa, known for a dark style, it was released in September 2024.
The arrangement immediately sets an ominous mood from the very beginning, and the mid-song shift into a funk-inspired groove is another highlight.
The lyrics pack in the terror of waking from a dream, sending chills down your spine.
A must-listen for fans of scary music!
Yumeful ColorfulHanada Yuuichirou, Nagata Maya
From the beloved show “Okaasan to Issho,” a new song by Yuichiro Hanada and Maya Nagata has arrived.
With a cheerful melody and bright lyrics, it vividly paints children’s dreams and hopes in colorful hues.
Its lively rhythm and easy-to-follow structure make it perfect for singing and dancing along, ideal for moving and having fun with kids.
Released in April 2023, this song is recommended for events at nursery schools and kindergartens, as well as for family time at home.
How about everyone singing together and creating a world full of dreams?

You＆meRinu
Introducing the perfect magic song to sing at karaoke without getting nervous: “You & me”! Sung by Rinu—also famous as a member of Strawberry Prince (SutoPuri)—this track has captivated listeners ever since it was released on YouTube.
Its appeal lies in his expressive delivery and the song’s meaningful message, making it a piece that even those who aren’t confident in their singing can perform with feeling, just like he does.
The melody stays within a consistent range, and the relaxed tempo makes it easy to sing.
Pour your heart into it and enjoy your time at karaoke!
YoursSuda Masaki
Masaki Suda’s hit tune “Yours.” Since falsetto appears right from the intro, many people probably feel this song is difficult.
It’s true the overall range is high and it uses a lot of falsetto and mixed voice, but lowering the key can solve those issues fairly easily.
There’s also a key change partway through, but it’s not the kind that makes it hard to sing; if you learn the vocal line well, you should be able to sing it without problems.
As a rule, you adjust the key around the highest phrase.
However, in the latter half of this song the energy ramps up, so you don’t need to deliver perfectly clean high notes.
For that reason, it’s also recommended to set the key based on the falsetto in the opening.
