People in rural areas shared local folk songs and people in urban areas enjoyed ENKA type popular songs. ENKA songs were made by ENKASHI, who wrote songs on the melodies of previously wide-spread songs and sang them themselves. The contents of lyrics are yells for human rights and freedom, critiques of plutocracy, bribery, and sorrow based on poverty and unfortunate fate of common people, etc. always with some wit. DOHYOH was a new type of children’s songs, which adults, especially first-rank lyricists wrote for children with children’s souls. DOHYOH songs were very different from SHOKA ones, which spread through school education. DOHYOH songs diffused by the monthly magazine AKAI-TORI and others specialized on children’s songs and tales.
