Woman of the Kiso RoadHarada Yuuri

Kisoji Woman — Showa Song — Yuri Harada
Woman of the Kiso RoadHarada Yuuri

This song is about a woman who experienced what could be called the greatest love of her life.

For certain reasons, she is now separated from the man she loved, yet she cannot let go of her single-hearted devotion to him and looks back on those days with fondness.

Even if love ends sadly in parting, perhaps you can still say it was a wonderful love precisely because you can go on loving that person.

Listening to this song evokes those feelings.

Snow CountryYoshi Ikuzo

This song portrays a woman’s heart, devoted single-mindedly to the man she loves, to the point of aching sorrow.

Even though their bodies are now apart in different places, her sadness, born from being unable to separate her heart from his no matter what, comes through with heartrending clarity.

You can’t help but imagine just how captivating this man must be to inspire such unwavering devotion.

It’s a wonderful piece whose beautiful melody and female chorus transcend the boundaries of the enka genre.

Memories SakeKobayashi Sachiko

In every era, there are many women who yearn for love.

Yet when you consider that once you fall in love it can ultimately ruin you, it’s only natural to become cautious.

This song evokes exactly those feelings.

It’s an enka that poignantly conveys how love is truly a double-edged sword.

Yumi shizukusa – “I still Believe~sigh”【Music Video】【English subtitles】
I still believe ~sigh~Shizukusa Yumi

A heartbreak song by Yumi Shizukusa—an artist known for her delicate high-tone voice that naturally evokes a sense of poignancy and her distinctive vibrato, who has also worked on theme songs for a nationally beloved anime.

This classic track expresses a love for a man that, no matter how fervently wished for, will never come true.

A Woman’s MorningMikawa Ken’ichi

The lyrics are extremely intense, completely at odds with the song’s tone.

If a woman were to fall for a man like the one in this song, would that be the end of her, so to speak? And yet it suggests that there might not be a single woman who would dislike him.

If a man leaves a woman with memories this beautiful, it makes you feel as though that alone would make being born a woman worthwhile.

That’s the kind of song this is.
