P.S. on Tokyo House Party: Enka Singers (Female)

 

First off, allow me to give a little bit of an explanation for both this article and the one that I did on the male enka singers last night for the Tokyo House Party label. I have left out the younger enka stars in the kayo sky such as Kiyoshi Hikawa（氷川きよし）and Kaori Mizumori（水森かおり）, and that's not to say that I don't like them. It's just that I was so focusing on the Showa Era veterans that I'd forgotten to include them and since I've already put in those male stars from that period of time, I may as well also focus on the female enka singers from that earlier time. But if you are interested in knowing about the more recent talent in that genre, let me know and I'll see if I can draw you to some of them.
