Chiemi Eri - Chiemi No Dodoitsu - Chiemi No Minyoshu Vol.4 (1962)

The 1962 album "Chiemi No Dodoitsu" showcases a masterful fusion of Edo-period Japanese vocal traditions with modern orchestration by Yutaka Miyagawa. Chiemi Eri, a preeminent Japanese singer and actress of the mid-20th century, demonstrates a unique talent for interpreting traditional min’yō folk songs. Having launched her career performing for American military personnel and gaining fame through Western hits, Eri became a national icon and a member of the celebrated "Three Sisters" trio. Despite her immense domestic success, her work remained largely inaccessible to global audiences due to limited international distribution. This release marks the first time her classic recordings are available in high-quality digital format.
