	Wild Realm Reviews: Films of Hibari Misora
		I suggest Hibari was only "half out of the closet" because her gay fan base certainly knew what the general public merely suspected or closed their minds to.
		I saw a filmed interview with Hibari in a gay bar with her girlfriend in full male drag (Hibari was bar-hopping with the then-starring "male" lead of the Takarazuka all-girl theater), & they were being waited on, catered to, & giggled at by a group of horribly ugly Japanese drag queens in full geisha regalia.
		Hibari didn't invariably select gender-bent roles, but she did it often enough for it to clearly be her trademark.

	Misora Hibari
		MISORA Hibari was a huge star in Japan at that time, and her immense popularity led to many film roles.
		In addition to fine acting and an intelligent story, there is some excellent swordplay here, with the top action hero SATOMI Kotaro teaming up with the heroine as a drunken ronin with superb sword skills, which are put to good use in having to save her from the murderers trying to avoid punishment.
		Hibari is still popular, even to this day, as she has starred in many motion pictures in addition to her highly successful singing career.

		Hibari Misora came in second—losing only to the television set as the most influential.

		Hibari’s innocent cinematic characters, who entertained, gained public applause, and enjoyed considerable material success, supplanted the scrappy, delinquent orphans of earlier postwar movies who struggled for respect, earned modest livings, and developed character through physical labor.
		Centering on Misora Hibari’s childhood films, this paper examines how, like other orphan films, her movies reconfigured the family and reenergized adults demoralized by war and defeat.
		Through Misora’s persona as a musical performer, the cinematic orphan moved from an active, turbulent confrontation with destitution and moral choices to an energetic but consistently innocent and uncomplicated victimhood resolved with relative ease and less troubled by reminders of war and defeat.

		Any discussion of Japanese popular music must begin with Hibari Misora who is often called the "Queen of Singers" in Japan.
		Hibari began singing professionally as a child and her career spanned more than 40 years, with numerous hits including "Ringo Oiwake", "Kanashii Sake" and "Yawara." Perhaps her most famous song, "Kawa no nagare no yoni" (Life is like a flowing river) was released in 1989, the year of her death.
		The biggest shock hit heart of every Japanese people when the sad news spread the entire island....Now a long gone, but not forgotten Japanese legendary Enka singer Misora Hibari peaks at her best in these three volume album series.

		The other person was Misora Hibari, legendary queen of enka, a popular song genre often called expressive of "the heart/soul of Japanese." The death of this "people's singer" at 52 years unofficially ended the Shouwa era, as well.
		This talk critically frames the iconicization of Misora Hibari, and her transfiguration from sinner to saint, from controversial bad girl of her times to model citizen.
		Yano's goal here is not to refute or deflate Hibari's elevated status; rather, she aims to point out the complexity of Hibari's position and the ways in which her contemporary sanctification deifies a generation.

		And for the most part all I have is one band to show for my efforts, and I have no idea whether or not there are - to me - as yet undiscovered oceans of wonderful Japanese music, toward which, for some reason, no one has been able to direct me.
		I like the little snatch of Misora Hibari that I heard, though.

	QUEENS OF ENKA
		It is no exaggeration to say that the post war history of enka started with Misora Hibari.
		I don't like her songs, for she represents an extreme case of enka with dynamic and energetic singing style using fierce and strong voice and exaggerated vibrato, which might be characteristics of Osaka and Kansai and don't fit the taste of Tokyo and Kanto people.
		Nevertheless, I have to admit that she is the most important enka singer next to Misora Hibari.

		Set against the postwar ruins, this beautiful, tragic musical stars the perky Hibari Misora as an orphan dressed in rags.
		Like a ray of light piercing a darkened world, Misora's voice reverberates in the skies of a city just getting back on its feet.
		Her fellow tenants in the low-rent tenement are a down-on-his luck guitar player, a painter, a fortune teller and a street entertainer, dubious characters all, who today, would no doubt be considered great modern artists.

		This repetition compulsion in the film industry served to reproduce a similar kind of girl star every few years, all modeled on Misora Hibari.
		Studios purposely cast young actresses in this film as part of a larger program of imitating Hibari's career both on and off screen.
		This paper will analyze how the career of Yamaguchi Momoe, who starred in the final version, echoed Hibari's career, and examine how the collapse of the studio system brought an end to this reproductive model of creating teenage girl stars.
