having a formal education in western style music - hearing something like this blows me away. In the past two years I've discovered more eastern tones... and so many of them, with their strong distinctions, have given me stronger emotions than with the latter.
Beautiful shakuhachi, samisen, biwa, erhu, and taiko songs, with songs of great emotional tides - it's strange and beautiful.
The Kanji at the beginning of this clip (And in the title) is Ikue Asazaki's name, and the hiragana represents the title of the song, Obukuri Eeumi... Dunno if you already knew that, but I said it anyway for those who didn't! :)
is anyone else here because samurai champloo

何が「FREE OKINAWA」だよ。無知丸出し。
中国の工作員か何かか?
…と思ってユーザーページ見てみたらやっぱり中国人だったでござる。
しかも日本を「倭」とか言ってやがるな。差別意識も丸出し。

[ABOUT Shima-uta]
"Shima" means island in japanese.
However, "Shima" means a village in Amami-shoto Islands.
It is a song sung in every small village.
