I was always under the impression that the two types of enka mentioned here were the same. What's the difference? - Sekicho
Isn't there some voice modulation used in enka to express the emotions? Almost like yodeling. I was surprised to see no mention of it. 72.65.85.35 07:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)enka fan
Against popular belief, Japanese enka does NOT equal contemporary (i.e. non-Japanese pop) music. Artists like Akiko Wada and Ken Matsudaira are not enka artists; they sing contemporary Japanese music, which should never be mixed up with enka. The style of enka is very specific.

Though I've certainly heard of the comparison to country music, it seems to me the style is far more akin to lounge music. Does anyone have any comment on this? Can we add it into the article, or...? LordAmeth ( talk) 04:28, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
This article needs a quite a bit of work, both the English and the structure. Instead of starting out with history, it should go directly to the main idea -- popular music that flourished in the pre- and postwar periods, and lives on as a fairly major genre. I think it should be structured more like the Japanese Wikipedia article. Explain the themes, melodic characteristics, main artists, place in popular culture, and only then get into the history. If I get time I will try to come back to it, but it would be nice if someone who knows more about music could explain the tonal system -- why enka sounds the way it does. -- Margin1522 ( talk) 19:10, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
This article is by far the worst-written I have seen on Wikipedia for an article of such length. It looks like it was machine-translated from the Japanese version and then random bits were cut out and edited. Yikes! 98.112.119.33 ( talk) 04:44, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

For example this makes no sense:
In present-day Japan, Road Traffic Law regulates the appearance of street performers. However, Japanese performers such as Utaji Fukuoka (福岡詩二) have still sung enka from the Taishō period.[19]
There is lots more like that. Decentcontributors ( talk) 08:31, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
@
A21sauce: When you
were copy-editing this article in 2010, you added {{
?}}
a number of times. This is probably a bit of a stretch, since you did those edits 8 years ago, but do you have an idea what
inline cleanup template you were intending for it to represent? {{
Why}}
seems like a possibility, since it was used in other places in the article, but I'm not sure if it fits.
I ask because the use of {{
?}}
was erroneous; it is not an inline cleanup template, and it simply produces a bolded italicized question mark "?".
