@ Akutenshi: Uh, the song is trance-like in nature it's supposed to be repetitive that's what the genre is known for. Plus, it's also supposed to be scary. The opera singing is not really opera singing but rather Gregorian chanting.
Nakamaru Ataru - Kaze ni Naru
Wow, this song is very pretty. I love the traditional instruments and her voice. It has slight hints at enka but isn't. While pretty, the song is a bit too long and I think the background music should have been a bit louder, or her vocals could have been softer because after a while it's sort of overpowering the other.
4/5
Misora Hibari - Kawa no Nagare no You ni
(This is from my favorite enka singer ever! Anyone who is everyone who's Japanese should know this song. It also was voted the best Japanese song ever in a poll by NHK.)
