To my daughter…Shimazu Aya
Aya Shimazu’s early work “Musume ni…”.
Around this time, she often sang poignant, gently emotional songs, and this piece is especially renowned as a masterpiece among them.
While it follows the melodic style of enka and can rightly be called an enka song, the vocal line itself leans strongly toward kayōkyoku (Japanese pop).
There’s hardly any use of vibrato-like kobushi, and the performance relies mainly on dynamic shading throughout, making it a song where you can aim for a high score.
Be sure to add it to your repertoire.
