My Take
Kobayashi is an enka singer best known for the enormous costumes she wore on Japan's New Year's Eve broadcast, which is the least interesting thing about her. Well into her career she moved onto Niconico, the video platform where comments scroll across the screen, and young users adopted her as their last boss. Yamaha later built a VOCALOID voicebank from her singing, and she has done Pokemon voice work under an alias. Born in Niigata in 1953. Few artists of her generation went hunting for a new audience instead of guarding the old one.
