It's not that I'm really ashamed... It's more that nobody knows what enka is, and when they hear it they think the vocals are annoying. I just... I think that way of singing is beautiful, and I can't get enough.

It reminds me of the Chinese opera, just not so high pitched. I particularly love Ikue Asazaki, god her voice is just so gorgeous for someone so old.

My problem, too, is that I can't FIND enka anywhere. I listened to a few really old songs a few years ago (when I discovered enka) and decided that I loved it, as I do most traditional Japanese music.

Imagine my shock, awe, and great wonder when someone showed me this band with the lead singer being a freaking enka GENIUS. It's like... suddenly accessible. If you wouldn't mind sharing where you get some stuff, I'd be really obliged. I can't use iTunes, but do you know of any websites, perhaps?

At any rate, I don't really mind revealing who I am, either, so. XD If you'd be interested in a brief AIM conversation and an exchange of information, that could be cool? :D Not to be pushy or anything, I'm just excited. XD If you've never heard of the guy in the picture and aren't totally allergic to J-pop, I could give you a couple of songs he sings the lead in. :D

I haven't really looked. I found a few torrents over at JPOPSUKI but there were no seeds, alas. So all I have is Ikue Asazaki. :)

I don't know of any sites other for JPOPSUKI. You can try googling 'Enka mp3' and maybe see if you can come across any forums?

Ah, AIM? I don't give that out publicly, sorry. -_-; Oh no, I love jpop and other genres of japanese music and korean music and chinese and such. :)

Thanks for the hint! I was thinking about looking at Jpopsuki, but I just hadn't tried yet. :D

That's okay. ^^ I totally understand that. I don't give out my Gmail or my MSN. XD But I do appreciate the info very much! You should definitely check out Subaru on YouTube. He's very talented, and if you can find one of the couple of enka performances that are up, you're in for a real treat from him AND Kanjani8. ^^
