Hibari was one of Japan's most popular singers and actresses. After WWII, she gave hope to the people of Japan in a time of desperation - her activities became a symbol of the Japanese postwar reconstruction. Over her career, she recorded more than 300 records (over 500 songs) and appeared in over 160 films. Hibari remains a popular cultural icon to this day... "Hibari No Madorosu-san," composed by G. Uehara and M. Ishimoto is performed by Alma Shimabukuro. It should be noted that "madorosu" is a phonetic adaptation of the French word - matelot meaning "sailor." |
