I left my heart. . . on Mt. Hotaka. . . (sung to the tune of I left my heart in San Fransico) Well, not quite enka, but I guess the feeling is the same. WELCOME to Jref yelou san !! Please do drop by anytime and make yourself at home. In no time you'll be posting and sharing and learning with all of us here in this big, world-wide family. Don't be shy about your English...most of us will ask if we don't quite understand.
But, I try to sing a little, but it's difficult because two things :
A) I speak Japanese a little
B) I don't understand what the singer is singing
( I like to understand what is the text is when I listen to a song )
I have sung enka in the past, but almost never with the correct words. It's kind of funny in a way; back when there were so few non-Japanese around town here (1984) I would go sing karaoke in some snack ( a drinking place primarily for men, where some nice looking, well dressed girls help you empty the bottle of whiskey you had just purchased) and would basically do a comedy act...singing anything that came to mind; mixing Japanese and English, with a little Spanish and Hindi and imitation Chinese for the characters that flashed on the screen sometimes.
THanks for sharing, yelou san. I'll check them out tomorrow. I want to finish giving some welcomes here, and then go to bed. It's just after midnight here now. Thanks. Talk to you later !! MM
