An even better version of "Yawara" ("Judo," but as a metaphor for the "judo" of love: "Don't think you're going to win [in the game of love]," goes the first line, "If you think like that, you're gonna lose..."), with lilting grace notes so distinctive of Japanese enka, is here.

Misora Hibari - Kanashii Sake [Sad Sake]

(Ignore the gab-fest for the first 1:30 of the video)

[My translation] The sake I'm drinking all alone at a bar
Tastes like my tears at our parting
As I drink, the face of the guy I want to forget
Keeps floating around in my glass
"I'm happier by myself,"
I say to myself as I weep
Still loving the man who's no longer at my side
My night of tears and sorrow grows long...


Poster Comment:

Misora Hibari (born Kazue Kato) is the queen of Japanese torch singers, of a style of singing known as enka. She started her career at age 11 in 1948, and was much beloved in Japan for the role she played in raising the spirits there with her singing after Japan's catastrophic defeat. She died in 1989.

Great videos.

According to wiki she recorded "Yawara" in 1964 and "Kanashii Sake" in 1966.

I can certainly understand what her voice meant to those conquered people. She is a source of great pride even now I'm sure.

In keeping with the diversity theme, I offer you Paul Robeson, "That's why darkies were born" followed by Midnight in Moscow in A-minor.
