Shinichi Mori, born on November 18, 1947, in Yasugi, Shimane Prefecture, is a celebrated enka singer in Japan, known for his rich baritone voice and emotive performances. His career began in the late 1960s, and he quickly made a name for himself in the enka genre, which is often characterized by its melodramatic ballads and themes of love, loss, and the Japanese concept of "mono no aware" (the pathos of things).

Over the decades, Mori successfully cultivated a significant fan base with his traditional musical style, which has rather seamlessly transitioned through the changing musical eras signified by the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa periods. His dedication to his craft is evidenced by a discography encompassing numerous albums and compilations, with the "RARE TRACKS" series illustrating the breadth of his career, representing various phases and showcasing previously lesser-known or unreleased tracks. The "SHINICHI MORI BEST - Showa Heisei Reiwa ni Utau -" album is a testament to his enduring appeal across generations, as he interprets songs that resonate with fans old and new. Mori's influence on the enka scene is profound, and his contribution to Japanese music culture is widely recognized, solidifying his status as one of the genre's foremost figures.
