Daphne (winter daphne)Sayuri Ishikawa
Released in 1977, “Jinchoge” is an early masterpiece by Sayuri Ishikawa, who had transitioned from an idol to an enka singer and was riding a wave of success after her 1977 hit “Tsugaru Strait—Winter Scene.” While she had been releasing songs by the duo Yū Aku (lyrics) and Takashi Miki (composition), this track is notably penned by Ryo Shoji, composed by Katsuo Ōno, and arranged by Koji Makaino—a fascinating shift.
The overall key is on the higher side, which can be challenging for those who struggle with high notes; however, the kobushi and vibrato are not overly intense, and the pitch movement is relatively restrained, making the melody itself quite singable.
With its strong kayōkyoku flavor, it’s also recommended for fans of Showa-era Japanese pop.
