I can't be sure how things will go but I believe there will always be a built-in audience for the genre.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-47553806501428321352016-01-13T22:06:33.596-05:002016-01-13T22:06:33.596-05:00I wonder if Yamauchi will ever reach the shibui le...I wonder if Yamauchi will ever reach the shibui level... He seems too glitzy to become someone like Yujiro or George Yamamoto. But I don't know, perhaps the whiskey could help. Besides Yamauchi, I'm curious as to how the younger generation of enka singers - e.g. Kiyoshi Hikawa, Kaori Mizumori - will look like 20 years down the road. Will they tone down or continue with their glitzy-ness.Noelle Thamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02869350840856391942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-56817202285266805642016-01-13T10:51:30.114-05:002016-01-13T10:51:30.114-05:00Hi Noelle.

And yep, the guests that night sounded a bit rusty as they did "Matsuri" but I'm pretty sure the audience was quite understanding.<br /><br />I also thought it was a bit of an odd choice for Yamauchi to tackle Ishihara, but hey, perhaps after a couple of decades and goodly amounts of Old Parr and Parliaments, the lad might actually get to that shibui level. :)J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-13738516421885068832016-01-13T07:01:58.170-05:002016-01-13T07:01:58.170-05:00Hi J-Canuck.

Now I'm able to look forward to something in the week; can't wait to see Mae-Kiyo in the next episode!:)<br /><br />Anyway, I actually felt that the gang was a little out of it as they sang "Matsuri". I couldn't really hear most of them - it kinda sounded as if Keisuke Yamauchi was the only one singing with a few backup singers. As for Aki Yashiro, well, she does bounce around like that whenever she sings "Onna no Minato Machi".<br /><br />As for "Koi wo Suru nara", I'm not surprised that it's made it to Taiwan, and though I haven't heard it in Singapore, it's Latin and I think what they'll call A-go-go music definitely sounds like something that'd be popular here back in the day. I have to say that I like it too - nice way to keep the episode's upbeat mood. The "AAA III EEE" is amusing. And for once I thought that Yamauchi was the right one for it. Bishonen he may be, but I'm not a fan of his singing and in my opinion, some of the enka/kayo classics he had covered just don't sound particularly good with his voice, especially stuff by Yujiro Ishihara.
