Kana Tsuruta ✯

retired from public life in 1998. Unlike the tragic, scandal-ridden ends of many stars, she simply walked away to a quiet life in Kamakura, tending to her garden and rarely granting interviews. She passed away in 2015, but the news was initially overshadowed by the death of a pop singer, a delay that ironically summarized her career: respected, profound, but never quite the top headline.

On YouTube, slow down her videos to 0.5x speed. Watch which finger plucks which string. She uses strict finger assignments (Index = G string, Middle = B string, Ring = high E) almost like classical guitar. kana tsuruta
