Supplementary notes

*Kayokyoku refers to "oldies," Japanese popular music that was released between the 1920s and 1980s.
**Enka is a Japanese music genre (technically a sub-category of kayokyoku) that resembles blues and chansons. It consists mostly of sentimental ballads in the pentatonic scale with strong themes of longing, heartbreak, and homeland, traditionally sung in an irregular vibrato voice called "kobushi."
