Midnight Bean

Step into the warm glow of a late-night Japanese izakaya and meet Sweet Anko, a brand-new voice bringing the spirit of Japanese Enka - often called the "Japanese Blues" - to the world.

Her debut album blends humor, human drama, and just a touch of playful sensuality.
Through stories of love, married life, and everyday moments, Sweet Anko delivers songs that can make you laugh, smile, and sometimes feel a little nostalgic.

From powerful high-tone vocals to deeply emotional ballads filled with bittersweet atmosphere, Sweet Anko showcases a wide vocal range and expressive style.
She is also a bilingual Enka singer, able to perform in English with near-native fluency, bringing this uniquely Japanese genre closer to international listeners.

Rooted in the spirit of classic Japanese showa-era songs while embracing a modern sound, this album offers a fresh and entertaining take on Enka.

Pour yourself a drink, relax, and enjoy the sweet and slightly bittersweet world of Sweet Anko.
