Description
[Machine Translation] Okinawan folk songs include a wide variety of songs. They include didactic songs, warabe songs, dance songs, and many others. Among them, there is a unique Okinawan folk song on this CD, which could be called a "humor song" and has been loved by the Okinawan people since the end of World War II, played on the radio as a popular song rather than a folk song, and loved in folk bars for a long time. The song is a unique Okinawan folk song that can be called a humor song. In the chorus part, the women sarcastically sing that men are creatures who only gain wisdom when they are burned, and that they lack one soki-bone (side bone). The cheerful tune and lyrics make you meow. Also, in the kukuraki verse, " For the boyfriend I love, I will devote myself to anything and everything. For a man I don't like, I'll just take what I can get and call it bye-bye," the song goes. The song incorporates the Okinawan dialect word kukuraki, which means "heartburn," to create unique lyrics. Each of the 23 songs on this album depicts a unique character with a bit of a quirk, or is set against the backdrop of the current social situation of the time. The lyrics, which humorously depict these characters, make you smile and reveal the unique lifestyle and customs of Okinawa. In life, you can't always walk in the middle. Sometimes it is okay to go off the beaten path. And that is what Okinawan "humor songs" are all about. The producer of this album, Hironobu Nohara, says, "I want to dig up interesting songs from the past that are not sung very often these days. During the difficult postwar period, wonderful singers in Okinawa wrote funny songs that brought smiles to people's faces. I am sure that these songs are still relevant today. CD1 includes a bonus track, "Corona-bushi," written by members of the Ohio Okinawa Friendship Association. CD2, "Social Distance Song," is a unique song for this time of year. A 68-page booklet is included. Recorded in Okinawa, Japan, August 2020.
