I also do that all the time because of my work on the blog.<br /><br />Hope everything is steady in South Korea. I've got a former work colleague who is probably still teaching there. Japan provided a lot of good life for me during that totality of 20 years and I'm also hoping that they will eventually get out from under the COVID cloud.<br /><br />Keep on reading!J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-56079976642667249632021-04-29T06:59:55.362-04:002021-04-29T06:59:55.362-04:00Thank you for your insightful posts on Harumi-san....Thank you for your insightful posts on Harumi-san. In fact, I stumbled onto your blog while searching for more info on her, whom I have only recently come to know. What a fabulous voice and talent she is. I am sorry for not having found her earlier but at the same time glad that I managed to find her at all. I have also begun to read some of your posts on your extended stay in Japan, with great delight I might add. I plan on dropping in every once in a while. I used to live on the East Coast of the US and now reside in Korea. I have relatives in Toronto, Ottawa and elsewhere in Canada.

I guess it's all about continuing to hear them although obviously people are always going to have their set favourites and unfavourites.J-Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551828383307840403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2501670448657416824.post-87903016639822543622015-11-02T20:16:16.791-05:002015-11-02T20:16:16.791-05:00Hi J-Canuck,
That was quite a fun episode, and I ...Hi J-Canuck,<br /><br />That was quite a fun episode, and I finally got a taste of what a Tora-San movie was like... sort of. I wasn't able to see the clips of the movies featured then and only got to see stills or the movie posters, which was regrettable as I really wanted to see black and white clips with Hibari Misora, Koji Tsuruta and Yujiro Ishihara. The only clip I was able to see was a young Takashi Hosokawa in a scene that reminded me of "Yagiri no Watashi", and just a tiny bit of Miyako and Atsumi - I didn't know Miyako starred in one of the Tora-San films!<br /><br />As for "Anko Tsubaki wa Koi no Hana", it's one of those classic enka tunes I've seen often in medleys of old kayo; I remember seeing one with Miyako in her late teens singing it. It's quite a jaunty and catchy song so there's no wonder that it was a huge success, but I can't say that I've gotten used to Miyako's vocal delivery as of yet... maybe if I try to listen to her more often?
