Tanko Bushi Ondo

Tanko Bushi

[@Rickster5176]

The best teacher I ever had was my 3rd grade teacher Mrs. Virginia Cummings. She was Nisei and taught this to us kids. Even though that was almost 50 years ago I remember the words and moves like it was yesterday. Here's to you Mrs Cummings!

Coal miners song from Hokkaido. An O-bon Odori favorite.

This video makes me sad I'm jealous of having a country where people love, respect and are proud of their culture, unlike Britain where we replaced pride with self-loathing, its so depressing. We've lost our self identity, I can only envy Japan.

This isn't Japan, it's America. There are hundreds of these Japanese Festival across America every summer.

@@JENDALL714 And these o-bon odori dances are fun and easy to learn.

[@JENDALL714]

I know your post is 2 years ago, but I wanted explain. It's a summer Kimono called a Yukata, light weight material.

[@calypsopiter]

It makes me serene :)

[@Zarhunas]

is this the recording from 1932? I dont speak japanese but it sounds just like it to me, my father used to play this record to me when I was a child.

[@shakilahmed3747]

It's recorded from 1957 because No one actually improved the song because this one sounded better but the video is filmed in 2000s and 2010s

[@FatalMonoYT]

Shakil Ahmed that comment was 6 yrs ago lol

[@signbear999]

No, this release by Masao Suzuki and Kikumaru was originally released in June 1956 on 78rpm, but was rereleased in 1963 on 45rpm. I can't find any recordings older than 1937.

[@philkumai]

Danny, do you know who does this version of the song? Please let me know. Thanks!

[@scopescanner]

I'm sorry, I don't know the name of the performer.

[@philkumai]

That's ok Danny, no problem. I remember as a child that this was the version that they used to play during the obon festival so I wanted to try and get a copy :) Thanks again for your help!
