evening drinkMitsuko Nakamura
Mitsuko Nakamura’s poignant classic “Banshaku” (Evening Drink).
While she is renowned for her “man’s songs,” this piece is especially known as one of her most popular in that style.
True to Nakamura’s roots in the Kawachi Ondo tradition, the song primarily employs the hiccup technique, which flips the voice.
The ornamentation (kobushi) that uses this hiccup is less difficult than that of typical enka, resulting in a vocal line that’s easier for beginners to sing.
In addition, the tempo is particularly slow even among her works, and there are well-placed rests before executing the kobushi, which also makes it easier to perform.
Back To ZeroIzumii
I think Izumii’s new song portrays relationships in the digital age.
It’s striking how the theme of destruction and rebirth is expressed through such a distinctive sound! I believe it will also give listeners a good opportunity to reflect on contemporary society.
Released in December 2024, this track is the first collaboration with a New York label.
The music video for this release is wonderful too, so be sure to check it out.
I recommend listening when you’re tired from daily life or when you want to take a new step forward!

In July 2023, Kokoa Umetani made her major debut with “Ban-etsu West Line Alone” while still a high school student.
Admiring Hibari Misora since childhood and influenced by her great-grandmother, she grew up immersed in Showa-era popular songs and has been drawing attention as the “Reiwa Showa Kayō Girl.” At age 11, she earned a perfect score on THE Karaoke★Battle, the youngest in the show’s history, cementing her reputation for outstanding vocal ability.

Continuing her work of bringing classic Showa hits to today’s audiences, Umetani’s voice is recommended not only for enka fans but also for younger listeners interested in Showa-era music.
