I had a tricky time telling a teacher at my school not to say "Japanese enka". I tried to explain that there is no such thing as Chinese enka or German enka etc so the adjective "Japanese" isn't needed, it's just enka. But he said that enka is only in Japan so we should say "Japanese enka" I tried again to explain it but he didn't quite get it.


Once something sticks in Japan, it sticks hard and its very hard to get them to change their opinions or the way they do things.
