#I'm glad other people are getting into enka tho it's very fucking good

Hi!!!

I know you're into enka music and im sorta curious about getting into it as well...are there any artists in particular you'd recommend?

Honestly I think spotify actually have some pretty good Enka playlists. So if you use that you can start there. This one has quite a bit of range.

I'm not actually that picky in terms of artists. Cause I don't know it well enough to pick apart qualities of singing. I just like the way it sounds in general.

ANYWAY I'm not Japanese or an expert on music so I feel like anything I say here sounds bullshit even tho I just like to listen to lilting sounds and Enka uses some common singing techniques with classical Chinese music so al;skdf a;sdf...

I mean I can ask if you have certain taste. Like would you like intense moody ones, or gentle soothing love songs? There's also some faster tempo contemporary ones with a bit more rock influence.

In terms of voices there's some pretty distinct voice profiles. Like... here's a very smooth jazzy male voice. (And the above female voices are all the smoother side.) But there's also the... deliberately hoarse emotive voice, for both male and female, that sounds really passionate. I really like that.
