I’m from 奄美大島(Amami islands), so I really appreciate for sharing my home-islands. I think your video is so good for everyone who wants to know Amami. I hope you’ll come to my home-islands again! Then you can find more good things you cannot imagine! まだ英語を勉強中の身なので、読み辛かったらすみません。 私の地元を紹介してくださってありがとうございます！！ またいらしてください！

I saw the Solar Eclipse on a beach in Amami-oshima in 2009, it was amazing!

[@lucyho4731]

The music sound very spiritual.My heart felt so moving.

[@masterworksmediaproduction5616]

I created a documentary film on their unique island music and interviewed many people of the Amami island music community, a person featured in this video also is in my documentary too :)

[@ssjwes]

Ps, sorry for the trouble after the war. Looks like the US was trying to make a separate state(country) from Japan out of some of the smaller Islands like Amami, I never knew.

[@Vshokri]

nice

[@isorokudono]

Sounds a lot like old folk music from the US. There's something in the spirit of the world that moves us the same.

[@erdno]

Truly connected with the same culture in Okinawa, the Ryukyu culture is still very evident.

[@Modellux]

Do all of the Ryukyuan Languages/Peoples stem from a common Ryukyuan Ancestor? Can the Ryukyuans even understand each Other's Languages?

[@earlito]

@@Modellux The Ryukyan language is one language but we have different dialects within the islands

[@Modellux]

@@earlito I heard that the Ryukyuan Tribes can't understand each other when they speak their Languages.

[@ritmavoltro3560]

@@Modellux It all stems mainly from Kyushu, both language and people and no all the languages on each different island group are mutually unintelligible. However all the languages like Japanese are Japonic

[@ritmavoltro3560]

@@earlito No they are not the same language, stop lying

i think i'm in love with naotomo. and i'm a boy….

Aloha Naotomo san. Thank you very much for sharing this amazing video. I have friends from Amami Oshima, and now I cam appreciate more what makes them so special. I have a question: Who is the amazing artist singing the beautiful song at 11:25 ? Thank you again and keep up the great work.

[@LordJordanXVII]

He is so handsome.

[@LanguageDex]

Where can I get all the background music?

[@Koroodetto]

Try looking up Shima Uta or Amami music (the music is from this area of Japan). I'm not Japanese so I can't help you out with the songs name.

[@gaylordmcgillicuddy8745]

What a beautiful place, though I have to admit that the singing made me want to slam my face into my monitor...
