Evening, folks! J-Canuck here...currently still digesting my clam broth ramen at Konjiki. I liked it but it could be a polarizing dish.
Anyways, I wanted to officially, and belatedly, welcome Joana Bernardo from Portugal as a new writer to "Kayo Kyoku Plus" to all readers, collaborators and commenters. She's been reading the blog now for a few years and recently started commenting on some of the articles so I thought it would be nice to invite her into the fold as well. In fact, she has already provided her first article via "The First" project that I started back last year so you can read about her introduction there.
Speaking of "The First", I didn't do this for them but I will do it now. I would like to thank Francium, T-cat and Karen for providing their own articles last year for this category and welcome them as contributors. For them, I continue to extend the invitation to write any other articles that they would like to provide if they have the time and interest.
I've been a fan of Japanese popular music for 40 years, and have managed to collect a lot of material during that time. So I decided I wanted to talk about Showa Era music with like-minded fans. My particular era is the 70s and 80s (thus the "kayo kyoku"). The plus part includes a number of songs and artists from the last 30 years and also the early kayo. So, let's talk about New Music, aidoru, City Pop and enka.
