I am not Japanese but I love Misora Hibari's songs. Have you listened to Hibari's Yawara? It was exceptionally good!

この頃は余命わずかな時でステージ脇には医者が常時待機していたらしいですね それを感じさせない歌声が本当に素晴らしい

この曲を聞くと何故か涙が出ます。 日本の心です。

日本の歌を海外の方に知っていただけて本当に嬉しい。しかも、日本の歌謡界一の誇り ｢美空ひばり」の曲を知ってくれた。 本当にありがとう。 I'm really happy that people from overseas know about Japanese songs. Thank you.

外国の人にもこの歌で涙がでるような想いになれるんだな。

彼女は絶対音階聞き取る耳を持って居て、オペラとかジャズもか成した天才でした。

言語の壁を超えて愛される歌すごいね魂の歌はこれができるからいいんだよ

この曲をひばりさんの声で聴くとなぜか涙があふれてきます。普段ほとんど泣かなくて感情のない野郎だと言われる私がです。

She was suffering from the cancer. There were doctors by the stage end in case she fell down while she was singing. But, she didn't make me think of such her health condition 😭😭 My mum told me about that

美空ひばりは心も広かったのです！

my grandson always comes over to my house and listens to Misora Hibari. these reactions made me cry with happiness beacause they are very similar to his reactions when he first heard Her Music. thank you so much.

Just to add Hibari add been ill for several years and this song was written for her and she first recorded it in Jan 1989 and died six months later. It was. Opted the greatest Enka song of all time a few years ago

This wonderful and romantic Japanese song always gives me emotions and shivers

英語ははわかりませんが、 美空ひばりを聞いてくださるのが嬉しいです。

At that time, she was in very poor health because of her illness. She sang for her life.

This song always chokes me up. It’s the song I associate most with my late grandma, who was a big fan of hers. She used to sing this at the karaoke.

I looked at your face, and I was very moved by that moving look. Thank you, I live in Taiwan and am also very obsessed with this song.🙂🙂

美空ひばりさんは聴いてる人のことを考えて歌ってるから温かいですね。フレディマーキュリー、リトルリチャードもすごくそういう気持ちを大切に歌ってます。

美空ひばりさんを超えるアーティストって絶対出て来ないよ、偉大なアーティストだなぁ、川の流れのようにを聞くだけで鳥肌が立つよ。

This was her last single. She was in very poor health. It was painful for her to stand and she was having lung issues as well yet she was still able to perform with power. Her 1988 Tokyo Dome concert is considered to be legendary because she performed for two hrs despite being in extreme pain. Her other famous songs include Ai sansan, Yawara, Ringo Oiwake, Kanashii sake, Makkana Taiyo, just to name a few. You can also find some clips of her when she was only 12yrs old - Kanashiki kuchibue and Tokyo Kid. (You would have to search the titles in Japanese text to find the movie clips.)

Hibari Misora san. One of the great artist. I love listening and watching her.

I just have to point out.... what an amazing time we live in that we can discover incredible artists like this from all over the world. I come from a time when the only music we could get our hands on was whatever they decided to pump over the air, or what you could find digging through racks of albums in a record store... usually with little more to go on than the cover art and song titles. Now you can get the name of an artist and instantly dive into all of their music and history. It's a great time to be alive for people that love to discover new things :)

It's worth noting that as a kid she packed a lot of talent and was both a movie and record star. Her debut coincided with a post WWII period of reckoning in Japan and her early film roles symbolized the agony and resiliency of the Japanese people as they waited in vain for lost loved ones to return from the battlefield and figured out how to emerge from complete ruin and poverty. The fact that she was so talented and the timing of her career cemented her as a Japanese icon. After childhood her life and her career were not without suffering and scandal, though in the end it still seems that everything she touched turned to gold and her record sales spiked after her death.

Music is universal language, doesn't matter if you don't understand the language but the tune makes you cry.

Wow, beautiful music dude, excellent for relaxation

She is my absolute favorite Japanese singer 💕

When I was 13 years old (in 1963), my parents took me to see a Japanese movie starring Misora Hibari as a young "singing samurai". Yes, she played the part of a young man. I never liked Japanese music, but when she sang in this movie....I fell in love with it. She also had me thoroughly convinced she was a young man. There are some videos of her singing "Yaware" dressed as a man and using the mannerisms of a samurai. Hope you'll see it someday. She's so awesome! Thanks for your reaction.

Hi there, I believe she is the best Japanese woman singer of all time. That's the reputation about her so far.

This was her very last record. Yes, her memory commemorated in Japan every year, and this song was actually used at her funeral sung like a prayer by dozens of her colleagues - kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWiWu5KahKWZh9I.html (even if you are not very experienced in Japanese cinema and stage of the time, you can probably recognize Masaaki Sakai from Monkey Magic series around 2:45-2:50)

My absolute favourite singer of all time - no question. I started studying Japanese a few years ago and stumbled upon Hibari when looking for songs with Japanese subtitles on screen to try and help me learn. I heard "Jinsei Ichiro" first which led me down a rabbit hole that I am still absolutely loving to this day. As Mochi says in the comments - the fact that she knew she was dying around this time - it makes you appreciate her even more. One of the lines is " Odayaka ni, Kono me wo makasete ittai" which is - I think - something like "I want to leave this body gently". The woman is a total legend and I am so glad I discovered her. It saddens me each day that she's no longer around.

あああ川の流れように。hermosa canción de cómo el amor fluye como el río. Misora Hibari fue una gran cantate que con esta canción llegó al corazón de muchos. Otra canción popular que me gusta es 心の糸 = kokoro no ito. La recomiendo oír.

she is the one and only special person probably every Japanese has to admit she is The Singer. Without her Japan culture would be a bit different i think

She is queen of enka.

Minha mae sempre colocava Misora Hibari pra eu dormir a tarde.

thanks Mace! This was a tribute to music in general as a binding link between all languages, countries, ethnics, races. Music is universal and it is usually up to the performer to transmit the emotion to the audience. Here Misora did that as a seasoned and revered artist. And I think Angelina did it too in her interpretation as a very respectful homage to Misora and her grandfather ♥

日本歴代最高の歌姫

I was just jamming to this song as well! Glad to see someone appreciate enka as well :D It was her last single as she died a couple of months after its release, so you can say that this song is her swan song. She was so revered in Japan that she actually had another song 20 years after her death - when Yamaha debuted Vocaloid AI they demonstrated its capabilities by using Hibari Misora's voice data to create a brand new song! It should be somewhere in KZread as well, you may want to check it out too :D

Loved that you checked out Misori after listening to Angelina! It's her heritage and this is a Japanese legend ♥

I am so glad to find another non-Japanese person discovering the amazing Hibari Misora. I'm a life long vinyl record collector from Australia, I've heard so many different musical acts over the years, my first taste of being amazed at what a musical artist can achieve came at an early age with the Beatles, and many others since then. The first artist to send chills down my spine was French chanteuse Edith Piaf. But when I finally discovered Hibari, it was almost a mystical experience. For such a huge talent to go virtually unknown in the English speaking world, is not just a damn shame, but almost a crime. Piaf is deservidly well-known internationally as one of the greatest voices of the 20th century. I hope that the day will come when Hibari is equally recognized and more music lovers around the world discover why the Japanese hold such reverence for her. If you haven't heard her song "Ai San San", you haven't truly lived. All I can say is "other-worldly"....

I loved this song and I always listen to this! She was the most famous actor and singer. I never heard a person like her after her death. She really sings alot of kinds of songs, like jazz, English songs and more. I'm so happy that you also got so emotional, I didn't know that other people could, so. May I request the song of Lover Come Back to Me by Misora Hibari, and Le Jazz Hot by Julie Andrews?

She is a Japanese legend & heritage。 　　 　　Doumo Arigatougozaimasu(Thank you )

I have listen to. Hibari sing since 1955 . Hibari early records and films help bring Japan back from the devastating effects of WWII. I know you wanted to show her preforming, but recorded version is better although this was excellent also. As others have mentioned this was her swan song and the song itself is about looking to the past at the end of the road. Another great song among many is Yaware (Softly). about protecting a love. Kawa no Nagare no youni lyric I came walking without realizing Down this narrow long path Looking back, in the distance I can see my home town Through bumpy tracks And paths with twist and turns I don’t even have a map And yet that’s the life Ah like the flow of a river It runs so slow Thru the lapse of time Ah like the flow of a river Ceaselessly Skies are burning ablaze at twilight To live is to travel Down this endless path Having my lover at my side In search of my dreams Even if the ground is muddy In the pouring rain Someday I know Sunny days will come again Ah like the flow of a river It runs calmly I want to leave my body to it Ah, like the flow of the river Waiting for the snow to thaw In the season to come Ah like the flow of the river It runs calmly I want to leave my body to it Ah, like the flow of the river I hope it will go on forever Listening to the blue stream

Hibari was Japan’s Streisand. Passed away pretty much in her prime.

i'm here because of the waseda setsuryo high school wind band.

Did you know that the president of this person's office was the best yakuza in Japan? Kazuo Taoka, the leader of the third Yamaguchi-gumi, is the boss of the legendary yakuza.

You should listen how she sings “Stardust” 🥰🤩. She is divine 🌞

What a deep and haunting voice! Like Angelina's voice singing How Great Thy Art, inspired by Elvis. The expressive tranquil melancholy tone is immersing the lyrics with its grip and its nostalgic elegance. This is a masterpiece in the japaneese history of vocal music. Thank you, Mace! Yes, oh man! I know i will be humming that refrain for the next days! Both Angelina and Misora have such a deep and rich voice, mixing longing melismas with beautiful dazzling vibratos!

I'm originally from Japan, I'm an Australian now. I lived in Japan for 30 years and Miss Hibari was always around me because my aunt was in same generation as her's. In my young time I wasn't so keen on her songs I just couldn't understand why she was using her voice like roller coaster, I couldn't get relaxing moment with her songs but now I'm 46 years old and love to listen to her songs. Maybe I've got more life experiences and always seeking something to soothe my feelings. Can I ask you a question, have you ever listened to her songs in her younger time? My recommendation is Omatsuri Mambo. This song is completely different from Kawa no nagare no yoni but if you like her singing, would be good to listen to, because you can find her skill and talent. I'm so glad you like Hibari's singing. Thanks heaps you video.

She is legend of the legend still in Japan and to me as well. Even though she passed away too early she will be in everyone's heart forever and ever...

Like the flow of the river is to Misora Hibari as Nessum Dorma to Pavarotti, the song they are most known and loved for. Oh a recommendation (if you've not already covered) is Ozaki Yukata. Try "I love you" but his die hard fans would go for "forget me not".

There are so many legendary Japanese singers.....Misora Hibari, Chiyoko Shimakura, Minami Haruo, Murata Hideo....just to name a few....and their lives, they lived it to their fullest. I’m personally a fan of Minami Haruo, his story, being a WW2 PoW at Siberia.... Despite being a purely traditional singer, he embraced modern genres (even rapping and house music), his motto being “okyaku sama wa kami sama desu” which translates to “audience is god”. He was also seen as the “national singer” as he was popular for theme songs of the 1964 Tokyo olympics and 1970 Osaka world expo. But not everyone has a taste for rokyoku, kayorokyoku, or kayokyoku genres..... but there’s no harm in suggesting, right? 😊

It's obvious to me that you had already listened to this song many times before, as you are humming to it from the very beginning. I love this song and it's great to see it getting played outside of Japan. But, if you're going to make a "first time reaction" video, it really should be just that.

MIsora Hibari did have an amazing impact on the world, but primarily on East and SE Asia. In my opinion, she was probably the most impactful popular singer in world history. I don't believe anyone else had as much influence on their native land as Misora Hibari had in Japan. No one. It is an extremely shameful thing that the West does not know her. She is known here in the West only to those willing to get off the beaten track, and look for things new. "MIsora Who???" is the usual reaction I get when talking music with people. That seems to be changing, at least a bit. She is my personal favorite popular singer. By far.
