The Ephemeral WomanIchikawa Yukino
Utakata no Onna, a signature song by Yukino Ichikawa included on the album Yukino Ichikawa Recital 2023: Sonosaki no Hajimari.
While Yukino Ichikawa often sings pop-style numbers, this piece is crafted as a full-fledged enka.
Even so, it’s not difficult; the highly advanced kobushi with repeated, intricate pitch rises and falls—often heard in her songs—hardly appear here.
The ornamentation mainly stays within 1–3 note movements, and the overall range is on the narrow side, so women accustomed to singing enka should be able to perform it without issue.
