    i'm not really an enka fan...i'm more into j-rock and a little of j-pop. BUT i started to like enka because of 'nodo jiman'. it's this karaoke contest on nhk (sundays 11am) where the participants are locals from a chosen city anywhere in japan. most of the oldies who join the contest prefer enka and watching them sing with all their heart made me like enka little by little.

    I am!

    Blame Kanjani8 for that because Subaru's voice is enka. Hehe. Have you heard the song Naniwa Iroha Bushi by Kanjani8? Subaru did the intro enka voice.
    You asked me who I thought I was before. I said maybe I was a fish because I love water and you said, you thought a mermaid, maybe. If you were a mermaid, you said, If you were a mermaid, I was the sea.

    Not familiar with that song. All I know is that 'Naniwa' is the old name for 'Osaka'. Stick out tongue So I'm guessing, they're called Kanjani because they are Johnny's from Kansai. GeekedCool

    My new female favorite enka singer is Natsukawa Rimi. She performed the song Hana during the New Year's eve Kouhaku Utagassen. But my favorite is still Nada Sousou. ^_^

    Hayasaki-san, sobrang late na itong reply ko! Big Smile Sumimasen...Enka refers to Japanese traditional music, generally speaking. ^_^

    Enka

    Does anyone know what <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enka">Enka</a> is? Is it the same as Japanese traditional music? I went to a Japanese singing contest and some of the older contestants sang the Chinese-style old Japanese songs, which i really liked.

    Re: Any ENKA fans here?

    Is it true that MoMusu's Nakazawa Yuko is now an enka singer? Anong tunog nun? Coming from an idol group like Morning Musume, parang di ko maimagine na biglang magiging buo ang boses nya para sa enka...

    Rimi Natsukawa is not ENKA, she's in the Shima-uta style, kagaya ng OKI DUB AINU BAND.

    The most favored Enka artist today may be the uber famous Kiyoshi Hikawa, and the surprise gaijin JERO.

     The world nga naman.

    Re: Any ENKA fans here?

    Favorite enka ko talaga include yung mga sobrang oldies talaga na sina Teresa Teng, Akira Kobayashi, momoe Yamaguchi, the uber popular Sayuri Ishikawa and the '70s na sina Miki Harayama.

     Kung oldies na lang, I'm really searching for The Rigannies, RC Succession, HAPPY END and their likes.

    Re: Any ENKA fans here?

    Ah, thanks for the correction, ady-san! Yeah, I realized she was of the shima-uta genre and not enka only after listening to a couple more songs. I like Hikawa Kiyoshi because he injects a bit of youth into enka -- I like Hikawa no Soran Bushi!!

    Oh you like nattou queen, huh? ^_^ Did you know Wada Akiko has sort of 'adopted' a Filipino child? Parang she sends her sponsorship through a foundation. Basta ganun. I learned to respect her even more after reading that article. ^_^ Isa sya sa gusto kong pinanonood sa Kouhaku kasi napaka-friendly nya sa ibang singers, maski sa kalabang team.

    ^ Yeah, alam ko through World Vision siya nagpapaaral ng bata eh. Saka nakakatuwa din siya sa mga guestings niya lalo na sa Tonight with Kiyoshi! May pagkakomedyana din siya! ^-^
