Enka (演歌) is a popular Japanese music genre considered to resemble traditional Japanese music stylistically. Modern enka, however, is a relatively recent musical form which arose in the context of such postwar expressions of modern Japanese nonmaterial nationalism as nihonjinron, while adopting a more traditional musical style in its vocalism than ryūkōka music, popular during the prewar years.
Modern enka, as developed in the postwar era, is a form of sentimental ballad music. Some of the first modern enka singers were Hachiro Kasuga, Michiya Mihashi, and Hideo Murata. The revival of enka in its modern form is said to date from 1969, when Keiko Fuji made her debut.

I do, from time to time. Like how I sometimes am just in the mood for some John Dowland, Mozart or whatever, I get a "craving" for enka. It's just really emotional music in a very soothing and mysterious way. And Ishikawa Sayuri's voice is just...heartbreakingly beautiful.

Sometimes. I have a few artists I've listened to.

I have to be really really in the mood for it though.

I've heard samples of Enka, but haven't heard enough to form an opinion of it. I would like to listen to it more someday though.

So I vote no for now.

Only when some famoust singer sings it, like when Gackt sang Shimauta. I'd love to listen to more Enka but I can't find any good ones and the ones I listened to so far were not really good.

No.

But Jero does one hell of a good job singing in the enka style though.
