Enka is great because even as a professional singer gets older, character and experience add to the song even if the voice is less powerful. And of course, for amateurs just enjoying karaoke, even if you can't hit all the notes just right, the song forgives you.
And younger singers are out there to keep the tradition alive.

This is 神園さやか Sayaka Kamizono (d.o.b. July 28, 1986) with her version of おもいで岬 / Omoide Misaki , released October 21, 2004.
(新沼謙治 /  Kenji Niinuma had recorded this song in 1976)

Enka singer Takashi Hosokawa, backed up by Momoiro Clover and a great group of dancers
blows the technicolor budget with a very entertaining perfomance of 'Naniwabushi Dayo Jinsei wa'
on the 2012 Kohaku Uta Gassen, make sure you watch on the biggest screen possible:

(this clip may not stay up for long, so please watch right away)

IT has changed so much in 10 years, but if anyone can
handle ‘game changing’ events, Jero is the man.

With thanks to Oaxiac san, who posted this video in Reina Tanaka’s Thread.
Reina and Maya Sakura promoting their musical, and they seem to really get along well!

The play is 赤毛のアン Akage no An (Redhaired Anne), based on the 1908 novel, “Anne of Green Gables” written by
Lucy Maud Montgomery

Maya and Reina

So who are the new generation of female enka singers upcoming now?  I guess there won't be many...

Of course, there is ex-AKB48 Wasamin, who has released three albums and 10 singles, the most recent last year so she still seems to be active.  I wonder how she is seen among 'mainstream' enka devotees...  is the fact that she was an idol a black mark against her?

I have also recently discovered Luka (Ryuka) Mochizuki 望月琉叶 who has released three mini-albums in the last few years, but also combines her enka singing with some ongoing gravure releases.  This is one of her more conventional enka MVs:



though she has more recently also made more modern/contemporary moves from her third mini-album



Any thoughts on her future in enka?  Will it be reduced because of her gravure?

And finally...  is anyone aware of any other emerging female enka artists, in their teens, 20s or early 30s?
