Bar Woman

Sakaba no Onna (Bar Woman)

Behind the dimly-lit bar counter, she smiles at him tonight again,
Holding secret feelings deep within her heart.

The profound Miyako-bushi scale weaves deep emotion and crying melodies.
Unspoken love expressed through the beauty of traditional Japanese poetry.

Due to her profession, these feelings can never be confessed.
Yet this love will never fadeeternal and true.

A bittersweet tale of a bar hostess, set to traditional Enka melodies.

Created in authentic "Shi-sen" (lyrics-first) Enka style.
Shamisen and jazz piano create an atmosphere of sophisticated nocturnal elegance.
