That's a musical saw, also called a singing saw, is the application of a hand saw as a musical instrument. I don't know well, but it sometimes used in the modern classic music.
During the Ching dynasty, Korea is known as "Little China". Japanese has been using the Han writing for ages. They all understand each other easily. There is no reason why these Asian countries cannot be united.
很美的音乐！本当に美しい歌です！Chinese and Japanese should be friends. We have so many cultural tastes in common. I guess no other nationals other than the Chinese and Japanese can appreciate this song better. Let begones be begones. Future is more important.
@lajabo0009 Well there's certainly nothing that can prevent chinese and japanese people be friends with each other. But it's the damn politicians on both side that trys to divide and conquer and makes us hate each other.
Chinese, Japanese, whoever, doesn't matter, we are all human beings and there is certainly no reason why one human being can't be friend with another. FUCK nationalism!

Stupid Chinese, She was beautiful with sweet voice, but In fact, she was a spy for Japanese Army during Japan occupied China in WW2. Chinese dont be so fool to thrust her.
She was a wolf with sheep skin ! After the WW2, she became a member of Jap Parliment.
She helped Japan to occupied China , praised her seems to be Jews prasied Hilter's army !
They spelled her name differently. Couldn't listen to this until now. This is a truly beautiful song. I love her album version very soulful. Is Suzhou Nocturne a traditional Japanese song? I know it has historical with references to Suzhou obviously. However is there any more traditional Japanese songs of this kind that I can look into. Would be truly grateful for any suggestion.
Hi digiblood. It might be difficult to list em, coz the song was specifically written for the female singer, Yoshiko Yamaguchi (Li Xianglan: Chinese name, Shirley Yamaguchi in English). I give you two below anyway. The Tokyo Blues sung by Awaya Noriko was written by the same poet and composer but... Maybe better to look up by the singer's name, Li Xianglan.
It's just...too beautiful...永遠の名曲...

アンさんのボーカルには、たおやかさ、やさしさ、ははのあたたかさ…
いろいろな感情を思い出させます…
日本、中国、韓国…
この国の複雑な過去、だけれども皆、いっしょうけんめい、生きてきて、この国の言葉で歌っている…
それだけで良いと思いますが、いかがでしょうか？
こんな素晴らしい歌声…
素晴らしい歌手であり、妻であり、母であり、心臓外科医…
その事も素晴らしいと思います…

wow, how do know which note to hit with a saw? it's like playing music with a WII controller!

I like how the japanese version is more zen and is talking about the beauty of suzhou.
the chinese one is more romantic, also poetic, both are good!

涙が出るほど美しい曲、美しい詞。
この曲が生まれて六十余年を経たこの時代になって尚、益々輝きを 感じる。悲しい時代背景があったからこそ、人々の心は簡素な美し さに惹かれたのではないだろうか。
物質的には貧しいながら、人々の心は今より遥かに豊かだった時代 の曲だと実感。
