🎍2024 'Oshogatsu' (お正月 / Japanese New Year Song) - Self-Duet Kalimba Cover 🎶

🎊 Immerse yourself in the rich cultural tapestry of Japan with this kalimba cover of 'Oshogatsu' (お正月), a traditional Japanese children's song celebrating the theme of the New Year.
🌟 Join me in a unique self-duet performance on two chromatic kalimbas - the Utopia Borealis from Poopoopidoo in France and the Ocean Moon Kalimba (海月琴) with golden tines from Taiwan Horse Brand (瘋馬木作).
🎶 About the song 'Oshogatsu' (お正月)
The lyrics, penned by 東くめ (Higashi Kume) in 1901 and composed by 瀧廉太郎 (Taki Rentarō) in the same year, beautifully capture the anticipation and joy surrounding the arrival of the New Year. This version was arranged by‪@hisamichipiano‬.
This timeless melody was first published in the 幼稚園唱歌 (Yochien Shoka) on July 25, 1901, by the publisher 共益商社書店 (Kyoei Shokosha Bookstore) and later became part of the 日本の歌百選 (Nihon no Uta Hyakusen, or “a collection of 100 Japanese songs”) in 2007.
The song follows a small ternary form with a melody that lacks the notes Fa and Si, featuring a Yona-Nuki pentatonic scale (omitting the 4th & 7th notes of the scale). The version I played, however, uses more notes and differs considerably from the original.
The lyrics depict the excitement of children eagerly awaiting the New Year, with kites and spinning tops making appearances in the first verse tailored for boys and temari (handball made from embroidery similar to hacky sack) and hanetsuki (a Japanese traditional game similar to badminton) in the second verse for girls.

첨 듣는 곡인데 아름다운 선율이네요❤ 제가 이런 서정적인 선율을 좋아하나봐요 ^^ 짧아서 아쉽네요. 감사해요🥰🥰🥰

[@Kalimbisteto]

감사합니다~ 일본 설날 곡인데 요즘 일본 칼림바 커뮤니티 분들께 많은 신세를 져서 연주해봤습니다. 혼자 듀엣하기는 어려워서 짧았지만, 다음에 좀 더 긴 곡을 쳐보고 싶어요~😀

[@madridkuma]

今年も１年間、沢山の心地よい音楽を有難う御座いました（＾＾）　来年もまた楽しみにしています！

[@Kalimbisteto]

¡Feliz año! こちらこそご視聴ありがとうございました😊今年も宜しくお願い致します🙇
