Emiko Shiratori

Description

[Machine Translation] The heart of Japan sung by the soothing vocalist, Emiko Shiratori. Many people sang these lyric songs in their childhood. It is said that they were first composed and popularized as part of the government's Europeanization policy during the Meiji era (1868-1912), but they flourished during the Taisho and Showa eras (1912-1926) thanks to such composers as Rentaro Taki, Kosaku Yamada, and Hakushu Kitahara. The famous lyric songs that are still sung and loved today are sung by Hidemiko Shiratori, who is also known for her hit songs "Amazing Grace" and "Let the River Run," to the accompaniment of piano and strings. Her quiet and sometimes elegant vocals enhance the charm of the lyric songs with a blend of Japanese and Western influences.

Description in Japanese

うた景色～日本の抒情歌集 / 白鳥英美子

癒しのヴォーカリスト、白鳥英美子が唄う日本の心。多くの人が子供の頃に歌った抒情歌の数々。明治時代に政府の欧化政策の一環として作られ、広められたのが始まりと言われているが、大正から昭和にかけて瀧廉太郎、山田耕筰、北原白秋らによって大きく花開いた。その今も親しまれ、歌い継がれる抒情歌の名曲を、「Amazing Grace」や「レット・ザ・リヴァー・ラン」のヒット曲でもお馴染みの白鳥英美子がピアノやストリングスの伴奏にのせて歌う。しっとりとして、時にエレガントな彼女のヴォーカルは抒情歌の持つ和洋折衷の魅力を一層引き立てている。
