About the artist
Kazuko Mifune (born Kazuko Ogata, 1 September 1947, in Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese enka singer - the first artist signed to Minorphone Records at its 1965 founding by the composer Toshimi Endo, debuting with the anti-war single "Betonamu no Akai Tsuki" ("Vietnam's Red Moon") - this song. Her 1966 follow-up "Tanin Fune" sold over 100,000 copies; a 1968 taxi accident damaged her voice and forced a hiatus, but she returned in 1982 with the half-million-selling "Danna-sama", won the Matsuo Entertainment Award in 1992, and first sang on NHK's Kohaku Uta Gassen in 1995.…
