Moon: 49 - Song Of Silver Tsumugi Threads (MoonDisc Version)

[Wyrdwad]

Awesome song, but FYI, "tsumugu" is the verb for "to weave" or "to spin," as if on a loom -- so the song title would be more like, "Song for Spinning Silver Threads."

@Wyrdwad I'm trying to recall my thinking. JapanOD and Japanese Wikipedia say that 紬 (つむぎ) is Japanese for "pongee," although obviously derived from the verb form. I don't have the lyrics on me. Is it a song to sing while spinning or is it a song that's metaphorical about the product?

@SketchesOfMoondays - My impression is that it's a song to sing while spinning, based on the verb conjugation. I'm not 100% sure if it's that, or if it's a song metaphorically ABOUT spinning, but I am fairly certain it's not about "tsumugi threads" or it would be "gin no tsumugi no ito" or just "gin no tsumugi," not "gin no ito no tsumugi."

@Wyrdwad Thanks!
