[JimsSpaceAgency]

I Love Enka !!! 演歌

[YaffeAgape]

Even though I don't understand much. The passion and emotion that is radiating from him is so moving that it makes tears whell up

And that says something because I'm not an emotional person.

Listening to this music is a totally transcendental experience..its like going back in time. When listening to this music in Japan, it was like going back to the Edo period.

Lovely, gorgeous, gentle Itsuki Hiroshi.

I saw him perform many times live in Tokyo.

He is multi talented. He played 8 different instruments when I saw him as well as being a gracious performer.

Hi Im looking for the video of the song "Yo sola". Cant seem to find it.

I like the song very much. He will have my support all the way from Singapore.

[MDIS]

The Kotou playing method is Japanese and the style is different from the Korean variation.

This is the Japanese style and is more melodic than say - the sharper Chinese Style.

As for the Korean variation of Ko`Tou , it is sharp in sound and harmonic in nature.

The singer is singing in Japanese as Enka is a Blues kinda music that depicts either sadness , grieve , lost , struggles of life , sad relationships and fights.

The Korean version of ENKA is similar. But listen , its Japanese

[WineRedX]

Awesome...

[jafaru]

That instrument is called koto. The singer is Japanese.

[marconiflamengo]

[tamohasu]

This song just makes me want to go to my favorite Sapporo karaoke bar or izakaya with my Japanese girlfriend so much! I miss it so much!

[RMede89202]

He looks like he could be more Korean than Japanese!!! Oh well good performane overall!!!

[desinate]

Hahaha, I love how you got so many thumbs down.. Japanese people hate koreans :/

[greenpurpleorangesod]
