That image looks highly uncomfortable; not to mention it would be impossible to type correctly with the keyboard in that angle.

This dude is bad ass. I think I seen him on japanese TV too. I listen to enka all the time, new releases are usually weak though, the classics are often better.

I am especially fascinated with Showa era Japan.
There was certainly a great pride that can even swell up in foreigners that observed, and even today observe it. There's some quality present that is certainly difficult to describe...but I will attempt to do so anyway with the word "rustic".
Sure, the postwar era had the obvious fact that they lost a war, but somehow that did not affect them as one would ordinarily expect. Japan was apparently a laughingstock to foreigners due to exportation of low-quality technology. At this time, a Japanese transistor radio would be comparable to some crappy Chinese knockoff brand. (Allan Sherman, 12 Gifts of Christmas)
It was at this point, I believe, that Japan was Americanized the most. You have likely seen pictures of those young ruffians with the hug pompadours in this very board, erroneously described as yakuza. The same kinds of pompadours in 1950s America of similar ruffians.
This Americanization even influenced the popular music of Japan, transforming it into some flavor of rockabilly in enka. But even despite this Americanization, there still was a distinct Japanese emotion to it. I could go on describing the music, but to really experience it, you would have to have a listen yourself. So I'll just leave it at that there.
