Mizumori Kaori - zeNkyoku shuu tottorisakyuu
…X‚©‚¨‚è - ‘S‹ÈW`’¹Žæ»‹u`
Released 2003

I first discovered her on the 54th Kouhaku this past New Year's Eve. Unlike most enka singers, Kaori has some really great dramatic moves. She also breaks the traditional kimono attire by wearing really fancy dresses you'd normally wear at a fancy dinner or going to the theater. She has a very strong voice, but can also be soft at times when necessary. Her signature song, Tottorisakyuu (’¹Žæ»‹u) was also performed at the NHK event, and is the song that sold me! She's also a very beautiful woman... What surprised me was that she's much younger than I thought (born 1973 August 31). You can see a photo of her Kouhaku performance here.

Toshimi Tagawa Tokusen Shu - Kanashii Uta wa Kirai desuka
“cìŽõ”ü/“cìŽõ”ü“Á‘IW@”ß‚µ‚¢‰Ì‚Í‚«‚ç‚¢‚Å‚·‚©
Released 2004

Tagawa Toshimi is a very well trained enka singer. Besides singing, she also plays electric guitar, though I doubt she did any of that on this CD. Toshimi has a nice lower tone to her voice, and comes out really clean and pleasant. At times, she even shows off by using the uragoe falsetto, and you can still understand her lyrics. This collection is a 2-CD set, and contains 20 awesome selections! Track 2 on disc 2, ii hi tabidachi (‚¢‚¢“ú—·—§‚¿) is very familiar to me... A lady friend of mine sings it all the time when we karaoke. Disc 1, track 10 is her signature song, Hana ni Nare (‰Ô‚É‚È‚ê). It's a very simple song overall, not that much to it. For only Y3000, it's got the bang for the yen!
