The English Man Who Sings In Japanese - Solo Enka singer

The English Man Who Sings In Japanese is a unique performer, who sings Japanese Enka songs and popular songs from the 'Showa' era (1926 to 1989).

Songs can be introduced in English with an explanation of what they are about and the singer then performs the songs in the original Japanese language.

The act can be adapted to suit many situations including large festivals, medium sized theatres or even small intimate performances in Japanese restaurants or sake bars.

The show is nostalgic for Japanese people, but it is also a good way for Western audiences to start exploring Japanese music.
