is a Japanese pop music genre, which became a base of modern J-pop. ''The Japan Times'' describes ''kayōkyoku'' as "standard Japanese pop" or "Showa era pop". ''Kayōkyoku'' is Western-style-inspired music of Japan. Music in this genre is extremely varied as a result. ''Kayōkyoku'' in the narrower and more practical sense, however, excludes J-pop and ''enka''.〔 〕 Unlike "J-pop" singers such as Southern All Stars' Keisuke Kuwata, the singers of the ''kayōkyoku'' genre do not use stylized pronunciations based on the English language, but prefer traditional Japanese.〔 〕 There are exceptions, such as in singer Momoe Yamaguchi's song "Rock 'n' Roll Widow".〔 Unlike ''enka'', ''kayōkyoku'' is also not based on emotional displays of effort while singing. Famous ''kayōkyoku'' artists include Kyu Sakamoto, The Peanuts, The Tigers, Candies, Pink Lady, Seiko Matsuda, Junko Sakurada, The Checkers and Onyanko Club. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kayōkyoku」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
