Note on inaccuracies

Substantially this article holds up fairly well some thirty years later. However, some terminology and a few statements reflect my lack of understanding, at the time I wrote it, of the complex legal and social history of the Empire of Japan and the people affiliated with its four regional jurisdictions -- the Interior (Naichi), Taiwan, Karafuto, and Chosen. Here are some examples of my inaccurate usage.

To set the record straight -- Rikidozan, the main protagonist of this article, was born, raised, and breathed every second of his life as a national of Japan. Except when traveling outside Japan a few times after World War II, he spent his entire life in the country (although not in the region) of his birth.

in Japan   Japan formally consisted of the Interior (Naichi) or prefectures, Taiwan, Karafuto (which later became part of the Interior), and Chosen (formally Korea). All four of these regions (subnational jurisdictions) were formally "in Japan", and all their affiliates were Japanese. All, when traveling or migrating from one region to another, were doing so as Japanese within Japan.

Japan Proper   "Japan Proper" is a quaintly external (frankly colonialist and Angloesque) characterization for what, in Japanese law and for

Japanese music genre

For other uses, see Enka (disambiguation).

Enka (演歌) is a Japanese music genre considered to resemble traditional Japanese music stylistically. Modern enka, however, is a relatively recent musical form which adopts a more traditional musical style in its vocalism than ryūkōka music, popular during the prewar years.

Modern enka, as developed in the postwar era, is a form of sentimental ballad music. Some of the first modern enka singers were Hachiro Kasuga, Michiya Mihashi, and Hideo Murata. The revival of enka in its modern form is said to date from , when Keiko Fuji made her debut. The most famous male enka singers are Shinichi Mori and Kiyoshi Hikawa.

Etymology

The term enka was first used to refer to political texts set to music which were sung and distributed by opposition activists belonging to the Freedom and People's Rights Movement during the Meiji period (–) as a means of bypassing government curbs on speeches of political dissent – and in this sense the word is derived from "enzetsu no uta" (演説の歌), meaning "speech song".

Another theory holds that modern enka means "enjiru uta" (演じる歌), meaning "performance song".

The genre called enka is also said to be an expedient classification for record labels as well as J-pop. For example, Harumi Miyako, who has been usually considered as an enka singer, said "I don't think that I sing 'enka'" and "In fact, there was no such term as 'enka' when I debuted."

Musical style

Modern enka's mainstream scale is called Yonanuki Tan-Onkai (ヨナ抜き短音階) or "Minor Scale without Four and Seven (fa and te)", and is a modified version of Yonanuki Chō-Onkai (ヨナ抜き長音階) or "Major Scale without Four and Seven (Fa and Si)", which came from an older Japanese scale, the "Ryo Scale" (呂音階, Ryo Onkai).
