"Moon Over Ohtone," tells of a fight between two rival gangs near the Ohtonegawa, a river in Chiba prefecture. It is performed by Harold Sasahara in what would today be described as an "enka" (nostalgic) style... In Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912), speeches were made into popular songs in order to help people better understand them. The people who made a profession out of this were called "Enkashi." Some Enkashi also composed original music...the use of the word has changed over time - today, it denotes a style of singing that is old fashioned, nostalgic. |
