"en" means "entertain" or "perform", "ka" means "songs". All together, it can mean "entertaining songs" though we understand the type of songs as the songs of Ishihara and other old timers. Young people never really sing or listen to "enka" any more.
i like j-pop singers,but ishihara and kobayashi are really great too, they give enka a brand new defination,make young people like me be interested in enka too
In my country we calls this kind of song "cebollas", ishihara yujiro song´s are really nice,it remind me Lucho Gatica.

言葉のわからない外国の人達さえも、裕次郎さんの歌を聴いて絶賛しています。自分の青春が、裕次郎さんと一緒であった時代の人間にとって、懐かしい感慨と共に「あの頃は良い時代だったのだなあ」とつくづく幸わせに思います。今後も国境と時代を超えて、裕次郎さんの歌とサックスの響きは、人の心の中に染み込み続けて行く事でしょう。(38年生まれの男)

Beautiful song! Even I don't understand Japanese, but it remind me those movies and songs by ishihara and kobayashi, when I grew up in Taiwan.

Wonderful singer, especially a little later in his carreer - his voice really mellowed out. Very sad he left us so prepaturely.
