Recommend me songs with Enka Twist

Hi guys

these days I plan on making a compilation of songs which have an enka twist i9n it, for example Kingyo Hanabi, Natsuzora, etc...

I really like it, by far I already have

Kingyo Hanabi
Natsuzora
Oborozukiyo~Inori
farewell
Will
theme of a-nation 03
Natsu no Shiori -epilogue-

Please tell me the names, if you could upload it I'll be gladly to download it

Japanese Instrumentals are okay (like Natsu no Shiori)

Thank you very much

Rimi Natsukawa is fabulous...Toki no Kawa is one of my favorite songs of all time, and it's absolutely gorgeous. You must find it! Her other stuff has kind of a traditional twist to it as well.

I know you said songs with an "Enka twist", but I don't think that any of the ones you listed have that. They may use traditional instruments and such, but nothing about them is Enka to me. So I don't know if you just want similar songs to the ones you listed or songs that actually have an Enka twist to them.

er you can try KinKi Kids's Harmony Of December (imo the best song they have come up in recent years) & Anniversary .

The intro of Tackey & Tsubasa's One Day One Dream made use of Enka also

I was thinking the same as bondingo. They are beautful ballads (the one you have listed that i have heard), but i would have never considered these enka.

Yoko Nagayama's Jonkara Onna Bushi is true enka (to me):

The only Enka songs with a pop twist I can think of are Yuko Nakazawa's old releases and Yuki Maeda's. Fujimoto Miki also released a beautiful ballad recently, but i am not sure if it classifies as enka..

Jero's "Umiyuki" is a bonafide enka song, but is at least marketed as pop with a hip-hop influenced video and the novelty of having a foreigner sing enka. It's also a pretty good song and I don't listen to enka at all haha

I think terra searches for songs that have a traditional Japanese feeling to them. Like songs that use koto, for example. If so then I could recommend "Kimi omou yoru" by NEWS.

浪花いろは節 Naniwa Iroha Bushi by 関ジャニ∞ Kanjani 8 (and I assume everything else by them -- I'm not that familiar with their discography) is very distinctly Enka-pop. It's a cool sound, although I'm not sure you're really looking for Enka.

^Ah, yeah. I wanted to mention the same song. Forgot it! -_- You could also try "Oh! Enka" by Kanjani8. And no, most of(?) their other songs don't have enka influences.
