Well, the Osaka Expo is now fully underway. Back last week, I posted a Kaori Mizumori（水森かおり）enka in commemoration of the event, and earlier today, NHK's "Uta Con"（うたコン ）provided a song festival for Osaka in tribute as well. I realized then that I may not have put up a list of Osaka-based kayo kyoku on KKP as of yet, and checking some of the key files, I apparently have not done so. Therefore, without further ado, here are some of those songs, a few of which were featured on "Uta Con".
(1976) Senri and Mari Unabara -- Osaka Rhapsody （大阪ラプソディー）
(1986) Takajin Yashiki -- Yappa Sukiyanen （やっぱ好きやねん）
(1982) Masaki Ueda -- Osaka Bay Blues
(1979) BORO -- Osaka de Umareta Onna （大阪で生まれた女）
And of course, we gotta pay tribute to the 1970 Expo in Osaka.
(1967) Haruo Minami -- Sekai no Kuni Kara Konnichiwa (世界の国からこんにちは）
Maybe these songs should be classified as 'Osaka-Kayo' ?
ReplyDeleteYup, I'd agree.
