She's only 16 years old. If she gets more lessons and can increase her control and range, she'll be among the best.

Definitely looking forward to see what the song will be like.

According to her blog entry (http://ameblo.jp/misaki-iwasa/entry-11113690553.html), it seems the first public performance of the new single will be on January 4th, at some New Year enka festival.

Post by: SomethingWild on January 03, 2012, 10:33:37 AM
Yeah, it should be interesting to see what the single will do. Wasamin doesn't seem that popular among most akb48 fans (she didn't make top 40, her pics sell relatively cheap, etc), and I have no idea to what extent enka is popular. If enka is popular among the elderly, will they be interested in some 16 year old doing it? Does she have enough life experience to put enough emotion in her singing, etc?

(http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48/t/jphip97790.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/akb48/jphip97790.jpg)

Wasamin will perform Mujin-eki at the Enka New Year Festival concert tomorrow! Her big debut! Good luck!

Post by: Zorr on January 03, 2012, 04:42:13 PM
^Yeah, it will be interesting to see how well this sells.  On one hand, Sakura Maya (an enka singer) seems reasonably popular and she's something like 15.  So certainly someone must be interested in a young girl singing enka.  But she I don't think she's exactly a chart topper.  Personally I actually kinda like younger girls singing enka.  To me it makes enka seem more modern.  I'm no knocking enka but I've never really liked it much at all.  Then I saw Sakura Maya and thought 'actually, this isn't so bad'.

Wasamin might not be one of my favourites but I'll actually be interested in this release as I think it could be really good.

Thank you regular edition cover for being awesome. You saved me a few bucks. :lol:

I'm curious to hear how this single will turn out. I don't expect sales numbers to be through the roof but I hope they will be good enough that her agency will go, "Oh wow, she can do this, let's support her even more!"

Also really curious to see how Heavy Rotation will work as an Enka song. Where will she use the vibrato? "I want youuuUUUUuuUUUuuuuUUuUUU, I need youuuUUuUUUuu, I love youUuuUUUuu" :lol:

SO GOOD. Man, that blew me away. If that's what she can do in her first real performance ever under enormous pressure, then I'm looking forward to seeing her in 6 months from now. I'm impressed, way to go Wasamin!

All media coverage on solo artists from AKB48 always ignore Ohori Meshibe, even though she was in AKB48 at the time of her solo release. Just because she graduated doesn't mean she wasn't the first girl to get a solo single...

I love it! :D  It's got a really nice rythm and of course Wasamin's vocals are superb.  It's funny really, before the announcement of this I didn't really know much about Wasamin.  I knew who she was but I'd never really paid much attention to her.  But I can now say that this has definitely changed that.  I wont overlook her anymore.

+1. Singing voice is sorta similar too. Actually, I might even take it a step further and state they are even starting to look a like:

I just have to say I like this single. It make me feel like Wassamin in the PV..typical japanese landscape under the snow, feel a peacefull atmospher.
Really surprised me because I don't listen so much of enka^^°

Post by: SomethingWild on January 17, 2012, 10:34:03 AM
After listening to tons of Hebirote covers in various genres on YT over the years, I could easily imagine what an enka version could sound like. Wasamin's version sounds more ...professional? than I expected. The pace is higher and closer to the original than I expected and the instrumental track has more power than expected, which makes the song sound really full. I especially dig that they used similar guitars as in Mujin Eki.

The Mujin Eki PV is beautiful as expected.

And the Hebirote cover is pretty good too.  I didn't expect much from it and I figured that I'd most likely skip that track on the CD but I think I'll be listening to it a few times actually.  It really is quite good.

I said yesterday that I was looking forward to hear this hebirote enka version.all the night I was like.."maybe it's not a good idea to do it with hebirote.. :doh:" but finally..I like it! :twothumbs
Sounds little bit strange the first time because we only know the original version of AKB, but after the second time you feel that this version is good too..I think it's because Wassamin is doing this cover..she has alot of talent and I hope this single will have good sale.

[コメント] 岩佐美咲「無人駅」 演歌・歌謡曲うたサイト初登場 1位! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oB5K1D5EiY#)

#1 on Recochoku Enka Rankings  :twothumbs


Her single has a Ninki rating of 34.90, which would put her at a weekly #4th.

Competition:
Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi
CNBLUE
S/mileage
ClariS

However, those Ninki rating don't mean that much. I think we should be happy if she can make it into the weekly top 10.

First day: #4

For reference, #3 - ClariS sold 10,023.

Let's fightingu for #3!  XD

S/mileage is #2 with 11,840 meaning it will be a close race for #2, #3 and #4  :panic:

Day 1: #4 -  7,352
Day 2: #4 -  X,XXX

CNBLUE will get #1 with a big lead.
ClariS seems out of reach now with 16K sub-total, so they will probably get #2, unless one of the competitors has some event planned later in the week.

S/mileage dropped a lot to #9, but Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi is making a come-back from #6 to #3.

Wasamin is still in the race for a weekly #3!

I love her voice. I never though about listening to enka before, but this isn't too bad. The enka version of Heavy Rotation is too cute. :3

Day 1: #4 -  7,352
Day 2: #4 -  5,310
Sub-total: 12,662

Day 3: #6 -  XXXX

- ClariS took #1 today with 5K, totaling around 21K.
- Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi is above Wasamin again today, but the differences are tiny.
- Wasamin is above s/mileage again. However, s/milage had a first day of 11.8K, so with the two extra days they're probably around Wasamin's number as well.

The battle for a weekly #3 will be between Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi, S/mileage and Wasamin. Either way, a weekly #5 would still be epic.

Wasamin got the weekly #5 - 23,773!

She would have got #4 for beating s/mileage, but there was one competitor I didn't account for... SKE48 managed to sell more in their second week  :O2


For fun, let's see some of the previous singles Wasamin has beaten:

No Sleeves - Kiss no Ryuusei: 20,174
Queen & Elizabeth - Love Wars: 21,179
SKE48 - Tsuyokimono yo: 22,624
WH - Kanpeki Gu no ne: 23,272
Iwasa Misaki – Mujin Eki: 23,773

Outselling SKE48, TomoTomo, No Sleeves and WH --> not bad for an enka solo debut!  XD

I bought the CD/DVD last weekend - Misaki has really done well, nice songs, nice CD/DVD package, I got a bonus photo card with the purchase, lyrics and music score for Mujin'Eki (無人駅) ........and she has a lovely voice with great potential. Very impressive!!!   :twothumbs

Mujin Eki is beautiful as delivered by Wasamin, and the PV is so atmospheric.  I was mesmerized by it and by her voice.  I only just tracked down some of her previous enka performances now (and also found some by Sakura Maya, who is also breathtaking vocally).  I haven't really been into enka that much, but now I'm happy to see the younger generation taking on this traditional form (BTW, I have no Japanese background myself, but an admiration of much of Japanese culture and it's great to see it being preserved and passed along).

I'm still trying to hear the enka version of hebirote - that YouTube on Page 2 has now been set to private viewing only...  hmmm...  Can anyone point me any place for that?

Thankyou so much...  this is...  fantasmagorical!  I love it almost as much as the original, and for atmosphere, actually more.  Yes, like a different song, creating a different feeling...  as powerful as the original, but different.

Thanks a heap to 1991Syamil for putting this to YouTube also.

Does anyone have any idea of the location of the 'unmanned station' where the PV was filmed?

Looking at the signboard which appears a few times behind Wasamin, and not reading a single character of Japanese, I don't get much...  I *think* I see romaji for 'OKU A ?' and 'A NI MA TA GI' (???) and 'HI TA CH ??'  ...  hmmmm...  nothing much I can make any sense of, and that might be some information other than the place name which might be the characters on yellow at the top of the board.

So, anyone who can help here will be greatly appreciated! :oops:

Hey, thanks, BarrieV - man, they sure picked a remote location for filming.  I was even wondering Hokkaido, and although it's not it's pretty remote west-coast Tohoku which is about the second-most remote location area, from what I can understand.  It's wild and beautiful up there it seems.

Another map with a few location photos:  http://mapcarta.com/27444024 (http://mapcarta.com/27444024)

There's also a photo in summer in the location area on this PDF:  http://www.jrtt.go.jp/11English/pdf/RailwayAssist-8.pdf (http://www.jrtt.go.jp/11English/pdf/RailwayAssist-8.pdf) - last page, second photo in the second column, where the caption mentions Okuani.  A few other pretty railway location scenes on that brochure, too.

Oh, and...  I get the sign:  Animatagi and Hitachinai are the neighbouring stations in opposite directions along the line through the valley.  Cool.

From the video, it's a good thing they didn't plan the shoot for February - no trains going down that line for a few weeks, I'd say!  Pity the filmmaker didn't pause a little on the signboard just before he came out onto the station platform, it looked kinda interesting.  But it's good to see the context in which the video is made, and maybe he'd go back there in the spring as the snow is melting and give us another look.  Thanks, kitayoshi56, whoever you are!

Anyway, I love the location, the atmosphere, the whole thing.  Knowing the location brings it all even more close and alive.

Whenever I hear enka, I simply snicker at it because it sounds really old and unenergetic, but this one's something else. At a very young age of 17, the voice is so whole and high, and the Hebirote enka version wasn't as bad as I expected xD Keep it up Wasamin!

On July 29th, AKB48’s Iwasa Misaki attended a big hit event for her solo debut single, “Mujin Eki“, at Kuniyoshi Station in Chiba Prefecture.

This marked Iwasa’s first time holding an event at a “mujin eki” (“unstaffed train station”). “Since I made my debut with ‘Mujin Eki’, I had a reckless wish to hold an event at an empty train station in my hometown, Chiba. I’m extremely happy to make it come true,” she said.

Iwasa was able to ride and conduct a special train called “Wasamin-gou” for the day. With 40 lucky fans, she went on a 20-minute journey from Kuniyoshi Station to Ohara Station. She reflected, “It’s my first time being ’something’ for a day. I had yearned for it, so today has become the best memory of my summer. Just from today, I learned a lot about Isumi Railway. It made me think about how interesting railways are. I might become a railway otaku.”

After the train ride, Iwasa sang “Mujin Eki“, the enka version of “Heavy Rotation“, and a cover of Jounouchi Sanae’s “Ajisai Bashi” in front of about 1,500 fans. She also held a handshake event and commemorative stamp event in the parking lot of the station.

I love Misaki's voice and she looked stunning in Kimono.

Also enjoyed seeing the other girls with the glow sticks,
especially Haruna and Mariko, who seemed very happy for their kohai Misaki.
