Kayōkyoku

Über Kayōkyoku

Kayōkyoku is the umbrella term for the Japanese popular song tradition that ran from the 1960s through the 1980s, before the rise of J-pop. Idol singers like Yamaguchi Momoe, Matsuda Seiko, and Pink Lady made it the dominant television-driven pop format, defining the Japanese teenage imagination for two full generations of post-war prosperity.
