Editor's note

Naotaro Moriyama, the enka singer from Shimoda

A Japanese vocalist whose 1991 ballad "Itoshi Kimi e" topped the charts.

For a sense of his style, try "Itoshi Kimi e" first. Then maybe "Kaze ni Natte" or "Yakusoku" to hear how he settled in.

Moriyama's voice carries the weight of enka tradition, but he found his own lane with a few key songs. "Itoshi Kimi e" was the big one in 1991, a ballad that connected widely. You can hear that same gentle, steady presence in later tracks like "Yakusoku" and "Kaze ni Natte."

He debuted in 1982 with "Yuuzuki" and had an early hint of success with 1984's "Sayonara no Tabiji." The 1991 single "Itoshi Kimi e" changed things, leading to albums like "Blue Moon" and a 1998 duet with Kiyoshi Nakajima. He's kept recording, putting out the album "Enka no Hana" in 2017.
