Beautiful Japanese of Children's Songs and Traditional Songs This is a gift, but I am selling it because I have a similar explanatory book. Unused Basic knowledge of Japanese you should know Knowing the words will make singing even more fun! ! 192 pages Price: 1760 yen [Introducing the lyrics of all 44 songs and over 200 words] "Oborozukiyo" (Pale Moonlit Night), "Aogeba Totoshi" (We Look Up to Our Teachers), "Hachijuhachiya" (The Eighty-Eighth Night), "Haru no Ogawa" (Spring Stream), "Yashi no Mi" (Coconut), "Koyo" (Autumn Leaves), "Furusato" (Hometown), "Hamabe no Uta" (Song of the Seashore), etc. The lyrics of children's songs and traditional songs are a "treasure trove of words." The fact that you already have them in your head is actually amazing. With this book as a guide, let's encounter the playfulness of our ancestors, the lives of the Meiji and Showa eras, and the Japanese heart. For example... "Why does the crow caw..." from "Nanatsu no Ko" (Seven Children) This verse, and the following verse, "The seven cute children...", Both begin singing with the sound "kaa." This sound overlaps with the crow's cawing, and every time we sing this song, We naturally imitate the crow's call. "Aogeba" (We look up to) Totoshi (Our teachers) wa ga shi no on... from "Aogeba Totoshi" "Aogu" (to look up) means to receive teachings from someone you respect. It also means "to remember, to look back." By starting to sing slowly from these words, the two meanings seep into your heart like mixed paint. "Sakura sakura" (Cherry blossoms cherry blossoms) Yayoi no sora wa... from "Sakura" (Cherry Blossoms) When we hum "sakura," the scene of "blooming" naturally appears in our eyes. This is not a coincidence. The origin of "sakura" is "saku" (to bloom) + "ra" (= thing). Cherry blossoms, without withering, only show their beautiful appearance and scatter, They are, so to speak, a symbol of "blooming" things. The feeling of happiness that lingers when we repeatedly hum "sakura" is a gift from our ancestors to us. Excerpt from the Internet I am selling many items, so I can only do a simple inspection.
