Supplementary notes

*Kayōkyoku nowadays refers to "oldies", Japanese pop songs that were released between the 1920s and 1990s, when the term J-pop became more widespread for new releases.
**Enka is a Japanese pop genre (technically a sub-category of kayōkyoku) that resembles blues and chansons. It consists mostly of sentimental ballads in the pentatonic scale with strong themes of longing, heartbreak, and homeland, traditionally sung in an irregular vibrato voice called "kobushi".
