	Enka: Suffering and Nostalgia for an Imagined Past
		Enka is no longer primarily used as a tool for political activism, but this is thought to be the beginning of the lyrical form.
		In fact, enka is also associated with truck drivers, just as country music is. To this day, radio stations play enka shows at night, a time when truck drivers often work their shift, which often even tended to be live back in enka’s heyday.
		For decades, enka has provided hope and a symbol of nationhood to Japanese through a set of strictly defined “kata” (models), and in that time has become considered by many to be a relic of the past, listened to most by older generations.

		The new Enka singers are experimenting with variations on the traditional style, keeping some elements, and discarding others.
