Women’s Counting SongYoshi Ikuzo
Among Yoshikazu Ikuzō’s songs, Onna no Kazoewuta stands out for its especially smooth melody.
While it follows the enka tradition, the piece flows with a smooth-jazz-like ease throughout, and compared to typical enka, it features far fewer occurrences of kobushi—the intricate pitch bends that require complex rises and falls.
It’s a work that should especially resonate with fans of adult contemporary.
Instead of techniques like kobushi, it calls for many expansive long tones, so be sure to stay mindful of sustaining those lines.
